He frequently handles domestic violence restraining orders and Marvin actions (contract-based causes of action between non-married individuals, addressed through the civil courts).
Craig has practiced family law in the state superior courts of San Francisco, Alameda, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa, Napa and Santa Cruz counties.
