A native of Flint, Michigan, Craig earned his Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Notre Dame in 2000. He then moved south to attend Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia, where he earned his Juris Doctor and passed the Georgia Bar in 2004.
Craig began his legal career with a passion for advocacy, gaining his first experience representing injured individuals while working for renowned trial attorney Don Keenan in Atlanta. He went on to serve at the Fulton County Public Defender’s Office for three years, sharpening his litigation skills in the courtroom. In 2007, Craig returned to his Michigan roots to begin practicing civil law in Genesee County. Under the mentorship of Edward B. Davison, he spent more than a decade handling a broad range of litigation-from product liability and groundwater contamination to auto negligence, premises liability, and corporate law.
Craig later brought his litigation expertise in-house, serving as a senior trial attorney for Allstate, where he became the company's only in-house trial counsel in Michigan for six years. After an additional year with State Farm, Craig transitioned to Morgan & Morgan, joining the firm’s growing Detroit office under the leadership of Michael Hanna. With more than two decades of experience and a career built on client-focused advocacy, Craig brings deep knowledge and courtroom strength to every case he handles.
