About Christopher M.

Christopher M. Craig practices business law in Asheville, North Carolina, where he founded his own firm in 2005. His firm is recognized for offering comprehensive legal services in business law, real estate law, and insurance defense. Clients benefit from many legal assistance, including contract negotiations, dispute resolutions, and compliance issues. Serving clients across the region, Christopher has established a reputation for addressing complex legal matters with diligence and expertise. He earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from North Carolina Central University School of Law in 2001.

Prior to pursuing his law degree, Christopher obtained a Master of Arts (M.A.) in English from North Carolina State University in 1995 and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in English from Guilford College in 1992. This strong educational foundation gave him exceptional analytical and communication skills, which he effectively applies in his legal practice.

In addition to business law, Christopher handles real estate transactions, ensuring that all legal aspects are thoroughly addressed for both buyers and sellers.

His mediation skills have proven invaluable in both business and personal matters, helping clients achieve satisfactory outcomes without the stress of a courtroom battle. Before founding his firm, Christopher worked as a lawyer in various capacities, gaining experience that laid the groundwork for his current practice. His diverse background in law allows him to approach cases from multiple angles, providing well-rounded legal advice tailored to each client's unique situation.
