About Craig M
Craig M. Higgins began his academic journey at the University of Massachusetts Boston and earned his J.D. from Massachusetts School of Law. Those years laid a foundation in both classroom debate and practical courtroom thinking. He emerged from law school prepared to learn the mechanics of practice and the rhythms of trial work.
Early in his career he worked behind the scenes. In 2016 he served as an executive assistant at the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers. That position put him close to case preparation and court procedures and offered exposure to trial advocacy training and the operations of a statewide legal organization. The next year he took on a law clerk role at Lennon Law Office. There he handled research, drafted memoranda and observed client interviews and court proceedings up close.
Higgins maintains active ties to several professional groups. He holds membership in the State Bar of Massachusetts. Since 2019 he has been a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute, and he has remained part of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers since 2017. Those memberships reflect ongoing engagement with colleagues across practice areas and with developments in both bankruptcy and civil litigation practice.
His practical experience to date combines research, organizational work and exposure to litigation. Tasks from early roles — legal research, drafting pleadings and assisting on case strategy — remain part of his skill set. He brings that experience into client work, balancing procedural knowledge with an attention to the detail that litigation and insolvency matters often demand.
Higgins is licensed to practice in Massachusetts and operates from the Law Office of Craig M. Higgins. The office handles matters that draw on his background in trial practice and bankruptcy-related issues. He represents clients in state proceedings and manages casework that ranges from pretrial preparation to courtroom appearances.
Colleagues and clients will find a practitioner who has built practical competence through a sequence of hands-on roles rather than through headlines. He keeps current through professional memberships and day-to-day practice. His current work centers on representing clients in Massachusetts state matters and on handling cases that intersect with bankruptcy principles.
