Chris brought a great deal of insight and
knowledge to the table as we set up a trust. He is also very personable ,fair and
available . It is
a comfort to me to know my loved ones will be dealing with a person
such as Chris.

Chris handled our second-parent (aka step-parent adoption) with such ease - it took less than two weeks from when we submitted the paperwork for the adoption to be finalized. He is truly a straight ally and advocate for the LGBT community.

I am absolutely delighted with the services provided by Chris Craig! He came recommended by a friend, and he certainly lived up to the recommendation. Chris was both professional and casual, always making me feel at ease and confident in his abilities to execute our stepparent adoption. Communication was prompt, and the whole process took less time than we originally anticipated. In a situation fraught with emotion, I am so grateful that Chris was there to facilitate making our family complete. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing the type of services he provides nor will I hesitate to use his services in the future should the need arise.

My husband and I finally decided that it was time to redo our estate plan, but weren't really sure what we needed. Chris was so wonderful to work with! He immediately put us at ease patiently explaining his recommendations. Chris took his time throughout the process, making sure that we understood how each document fit into our estate plan and answered many (many!) questions. It's a great comfort to us to know that we have a thorough plan in place for the future. And working with Chris made it a very pleasant experience. We highly recommend him!

My husband passed away suddenly two weeks ago. We had just moved to Asheville and knew 2 people here. I had so much to deal with and I was so afraid I'd do something wrong so I looked for an attorney to guide me. As luck would have it, I came upon Chris Craig. He was so kind, understanding and patient at the most difficult point in my life. I trust his advice and knowledge completely and will not hesitate to refer to him anyone who needs a trust or estate attorney.

Chris Craig is knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He’s to the point, and I feel he always acts in my best interest when we work together. If you ever need legal services, Craig Associates is where to start.

I never thought working with a lawyer could be fun, but with Chris Craig it is. More importantly, Chris is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and meticulous when it comes to all things legal. He took the time and effort to explain everything in great detail about the important documents he created for us that will help put our minds at ease for the future. And he has the best personality. He’s kind, easy to talk to, authentic, open, clear, and hilarious. It’s worth working with the best when it comes to life and death matters.

Chris is the attorney to hire in Asheville for Estate Planning! We feel so content knowing that the necessary documents have been executed. It was a painless and sometimes entertaining process to work with Chris. He made it easy and helped us through every step of the process. He is honest and knowledgeable about what is needed and used language that was clear and concise. "Need a Trust? Trust Chris"®️

Chris was a pleasure to work with; very knowledgeable and still kept us laughing while writing our will & trust...which can be hard. Our blended family and name changes made the process that much more arduous but Chris took his time with us and the documents to make sure everything was correct and in order. He even survived and walked me through (with so much grace) panicked phone calls to him when I thought I had left something out or needed to alter something in our trust. If I can’t stress it enough...We hadn’t received or wallet medical POA cards yet when I had to go in for unexpected surgery...Chris met my husband at 8:45 am at the hospital to deliver them personally. Chris is great at what he does, committed, thorough, knowledgeable, personable, caring, and just a good person in general. Very grateful he was recommended to us.

We needed to use Craig associates at the last minute during my pregnancy and it was a rush to get everything done. Chris was extremely helpful and made us feel comfortable that everything would be okay and finished in time before the babies arrival and he followed through. He went above and beyond for us during a sensitive time. Very kind, friendly and professional and we will continue to use his services! Thank you Craig Associates!

Chris handled our open adoption with such kindness, skill, grace (not only toward us, but toward our son's birth family). I could write so much about how incredibly magical this entire experience was, but I believe that our son's privacy is paramount. However, I'll simply say this: If you are seeking an honest, sincere, authentic, kind, generous, skilled, wise, and supportive lawyer with integrity flowing through his veins, Chris is your attorney. We left our legal engagement with him not only as new parents madly in love with our son but with a new friend, too. He's exceptional and I thank every goddess that put him in our family's path. Thank you, Chris.

If you are in need of estate planning, especially ensuring your children are taken care of, Chris is the guy to call. The process is easy and takes only a couple of hours of your time. Best of all, Chris makes it an enjoyable experience. You won’t regret getting your affairs in order.

We hired Chris Craig to set-up a trust for us. He explained everything thoroughly and guided us through the process. Chris is down-to-earth and comfortable to work with.

Chris helped me and my wife re-examine our wills after we had kids. We had already worked with a previous attorney, from around the time we married, and we thought we knew a thing or two about wills and planning. What a pleasant surprise to find out that we were in such good hands with Chris! His process helped us plan for issues we had not considered before and has resulted in a set of legal documents that are much stronger and more flexible than our previous preparations. Suffice it to say you should call Chris Craig.

Chris Craig helped my family navigate the confusing and overwhelming process of separation and divorce. Every step of the way he helped my ex and I make decisions that kept our child's best interest in mind. Looking back I can see how we successfully made the transition from being a married couple to being co-parents. Our child spends a lot of time with each parent, and feels that we are still a family, just not one in the traditional sense. I'm very grateful for Chris's guidance through this process. Chris has so much experience facilitating change in a way that doesn't harm the family, especially the kids involved.

Chris found my wife and I through our Open Adoption social media page on Facebook and helped us to facilitate our local open adoption of a beautiful baby boy. Throughout the entire process, Chris guides us on the logic, regulations, and risks of adoption. He prepared us for the outcomes and was upfront about costs. We found Chris to be extremely ethical and knowledgeable of adoption laws and process in North Carolina and we are confident that he worked diligently on our behalf every step of the way. The joy in working with Chris is that he has a deeply personal interest in positive adoption outcomes. He's not just an attorney doing the work. He will take a personal interest in the process and follow through to clear each issue as it arises. We're very pleased working with Chris and his wonderful assistant, Luci, who both poured their hearts and minds into our adoption process. I highly recommend Chris if you are seeking a closed or open adoption. We also know that he specializes in partner adoptions due to the recent change of marriage laws in North Carolina to include gay couples. Chris is sensitive to everyone's situation and seemingly takes each case with conviction and a personal attention that is rare to find.

I don't know anyone who looks forward to planning for ones death. Where do the kids go, the money, can we trust those in charge of the estate, etc... Chris literally took this complicated and tedious process, and not only made it bearable, but dare I say enjoyable. He listened, offered suggestions, argued when necessary and overall looked out for OUR best interests. We finished the process with a sense of accomplishment and the peace of mind that our "affairs are truly in order" regardless of long life or sudden tragedy. Best of all, we were not just another "client" to go through the motions with, but instead Chris showed that he really cared about our well being, our children's well being, and the peace that comes with a well thought out and executed plan.

Amazing to work with! We have our wonderful son because of Mr Craig! We found out about our son just less than 3 weeks before he was born and Mr. Craig answered all our questions even the ones we felt were silly! He was very fast to help us! WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!

Without Chris Craig, we wouldn't have our son. We found ourselves in a last-minute hospital situation, hoping to adopt a baby boy born four days earlier. Upon recommendation from the hospital social worker we called Chris Craig to see if he could help us get all the needed paperwork in place prior to the baby's discharge scheduled for later that day. Chris said, "Give me 20 minutes to clear my schedule and I will make this happen". And he did. We will be forever grateful to him. He signs each e-mail as "Yours, Chris". And it's true. He is yours--at the ready, responsive and thorough in getting the job done. Also easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with.

Chris Craig was good to work with and quick to find creative, smart solutions to my complex estate planning. He listens well, thinks clearly and efficiently turns the outline into a detailed working, legal document, with plenty of room for revisions: Our meetings were always highly productive.
His process has given me clarity and confidence in the welfare of my family, in the immediate and in the long term, in the event of my untimely death.
