Mr. McElwee represented me on behalf of the state in a case where I was assaulted and almost killed in a bar. Before Mr. McElwee had the cased dismissed without my knowledge there was a very capable attorney handling my situation and was extremely confident we would do well with a jury. For no apparent or explained reason McElwee pulled the attorney I was working with for a year and half and assigned a freshman ADA. She knew little about the case and when she tried to explain it to me she had the time line of events completely wrong. There was supposed to be one more hearing before court and McElwee who supervised this new attorney went into court with minimal understanding of my case. (He never spoke to me). Then he agreed with defense to drop the case. I would have never found out if 3 days later I called the court and asked when my next court date was! He was poorly prepared, he didn't understand my case and let someone who near killed me off of the hook. My recommendation is to not hire this attorney ever.

In one of the most frightening times in my life Craig Mcelwee came through as my hero. I was charged with sale of 20 dollars of marijuana and possession of two grams of marijuana. The outcome was one year ACOD and I could not believe that he basically made my situation a slap on the wrist. During the entire situation his communication was amazing and I know I was a valued client. I highly recommend Craig Mcelwee as a defense attorney.

It's not easy to find a "good lawyer"! People often ask "do you know a good lawyer?" Now after knowing and being represented by Craig Mcelwee, I can honestly say YES! I would highly recommend him and is services. HE is fast and efficient. The job actually "gets done" not dragging on wasting time and money. More attorneys should be like Craig. I am so glad to have found a counselor I can depend on.

Craig bent over backward for me. He is always accessible, trustworthy and super sharp. I had full confidence that he would get the job done and he did! I would always want him on my side.

Mr. McElwee has been the second lawyer I had to use in my relatively novice experience with the law. The first one I had to fire for gross incompetence. Mr. McElwee has not only been an excellent lawyer but an excellent human being which in the business of law is an assuredly extremely difficult quality to find. I will never have a moment's hesitation to recommend him to a family member, a friend or a colleague. Mr. McElwee has in essence resurrected the hope in me that NOT all lawyers are the same, that there are excellent ones out there who have a conscience, have a honorable character and are honest. Thank you Craig, for being all of that and more.
