Before co-founding Murphy & Murphy Law Offices with his wife, Stacie Murphy, Craig spent almost 10 years working “on the inside.”  Craig was the Nevada major case unit trial attorney for The Travelers Insurance Company, one of the largest insurance companies in the world.  The Travelers Insurance Company elevated Craig to the position of its major case unit trial attorney in Nevada in recognition of Craig’s distinguished trial skills and his tenacious commitment to his clients.

Before devoting his career to exclusively representing injury victims, Craig represented doctors in medical malpractice cases, and major Las Vegas hotel/casinos in premises liability cases.  He represented insureds on behalf of Allstate Insurance Company, Farmers Insurance Company, State Farm Insurance Company, Progressive Insurance Company, Geico Insurance Company, Hertz Rent-A-Car Company, and Avis Rent-A-Car Company.  Craig has taken his insider’s knowledge and now exclusively represents seriously injured people and their families against the major insurance companies and corporations who are responsible for his clients’ injuries.

Craig was born and raised in Lima, Ohio.  He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication at Ohio University.  Craig attended law school at Ohio Northern University where he was awarded the Dean’s scholarship.  During law school, Craig earned a number of American Jurisprudence awards for academic excellence. He earned the student-attorney of the year award during his third year of law school as a practicing student lawyer.  Craig was an editor of the law review and graduated with distinction.  Due to his academic achievements, Craig was admitted into the honorary Willis Society at Ohio Northern University.

Craig is committed to his family, church, and the legal community.  Craig has been a church Elder and volunteers as a Sunday school teacher.  He is a member of the prestigious Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an honor bestowed on less than 1% of all attorneys.  The American Trial Lawyers Association has named him as one of the top 100 trial lawyers in Nevada.  Other lawyers recognize Craig as a leader in the legal community and elected him to serve as one of the Board of Governors of the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association and the Nevada Justice Association.  He served as a Judge Pro-Tem for the Eighth Judicial District Court short trial program and as a District Court appointed arbitrator.

Craig’s practice is dedicated to the protection of injury victims and their families.  He prides himself on the level of personal service that he gives to his clients.  Craig is committed to pursing justice one case at a time.  If a full and fair settlement cannot be obtained, Craig has the experience, skill and conviction of character to take his clients’ cases to trial.
