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!

Atty Chris Craig, Joshua and Shelly of Craig Associates PC in Asheville provided me with the best experience on a maudlin subject…wills, trusts and estate planning. The expertise and education provided to me went above and beyond my expectations.
I left feeling my last wishes were left in the best of hands.
Everything we discussed was reviewed. Atty Craig made sure I was provided plenty of time to ask questions during my appts and if I didn’t understand then he would reword so that I understood.
I have already provided his name to other family and friends as I was so completely impressed with the professionalism and respect the entire staff afforded me. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Chris and his staff at Craig Associates made the process of setting up my Family Trust simple. They helped me navigate the ins and outs of Estate Planning and set my mind at ease about protecting my legacy for my children. If you need help in the Asheville area, I definitely recommend giving them a call. Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
I've been thinking of creating a trust for years. I often would start the process and then never finish. I recently purchased a home in the Asheville area after 26 years in Chicago. I realized I needed to finally complete this process. After reviewing online reviews I reached out to Craig Associates, PC. Chris and his team made the process so easy and with Patty's help kept me on target to complete. Chris explained the various components in a clear manner cutting through the legalese that often can be confusing. I'm very happy I found Craig Associates!
Chris Craig and Patty Malesh at Craig Associates, PC in Asheville, NC, were fabulous to work with. Who would have ever thought that estate planning could actually be fun?! I needed to update and redo my estate documents and I chose Craig Associates because of the good reviews. They did not disappoint. Chris did a very helpful informational zoom session with me explaining wills vs trusts and why one might be a better choice for me here in NC, and he also answered questions that I had. Patty Malesh was so helpful and kind and always responded quickly when I needed something. I had a couple of quirky things I wanted to include, and Chris and Patty helped set things up to make those happen. Signing the estate documents was an enjoyable experience (complete with Chris' sweet dog helping out.) We made a few changes on the spot, Chris went over everything with me again, and he provides a notebook with all the documents and other helpful information. He even provides the forms you need to send to your financial institutions, which makes everything super easy and not as confusing or overwhelming. I had the most interaction with Chris and Patty, but the whole staff was efficient and friendly. I felt like I was in excellent hands the whole time, and I highly recommend Craig Associates PC to anyone who needs help with estate planning and estate documents.
I decided to work with Craig Associates after attending their seminar on estate planning... after experiencing a very bad legal year after the passing of a loved one. They took the time to understand my unique needs and concerns, and provided personalized recommendations based on my situation. My family has worked with Craig Associates on other legal matters in the past, and they have consistently delivered high-quality, trustworthy advice. We knew wr could count on them to provide accurate information and help us make informed decisions. The best part was the result: the peace of mind that comes with having a will and trust in place. As the seminar emphasized, estate planning is not just for the wealthy or the elderly - it's for anyone who wants to ensure that their assets are protected and their loved ones are taken care of. Chris and his team have the expertise, empathy, and the integrity to help you make the best decisions for yourself and your family.
Mr Craig is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. He helped me in one of the darkest times in my life. He went above and beyond. Even came to my house because my wife was bed ridden and did a lot more than I asked for at no extra cost to me. He is very honest and that's a very rare thing these days. I would recommend him to anyone and I plan on using him for my final plans. Again Chris I thank you for everything and the speedy in which you did it. You took a lot of stress off me and my wife.
I hired Craig Associates PC after my husband and i had a health scare that made us aware of the importance of estate planning. I decided Craig Associates PC was the right firm for me because I saw the level of specialization they have and knew I would be making the right choice. What I liked most about Craig Associates PC was they provided distance communication via online video conference. Their paralegal was skilled, knowledgeable and personable. She made herself available for questions and never seemed bothered. Lastly, during the signing process Chris answered many questions and explained everything in a way that was very clear. The outcome of this case was that we have estate planning legal documents that meet all our desires thoroughly and accurately. We feel confident that when the time comes our family will be provided for. As a result of this outcome, both my husband and I no longer need to worry about what will happen when the inevitable time comes.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Chris Craig and his team did a very professional and efficient job of estate planning for my wife and myself. They were always responsive, timely and ensuring we understood every step of the process we were undertaking. The end result was a first rate estate plan that will serve our family well for years to come. I also don’t want to underestimate the importance of protecting and ensuring your assets go where you want and need them to in a solid legal framework.
My husband and I hired Chris to help us in our step-parent adoption journey. Chris helped us with some estate planning in the past, and we knew him to be both professional and proficient. We are very happy to say that we just received our final adoption decree, and are pleasantly surprised at how quickly Chris was able to push this through. We are so pleased with our experience at Craig Associates, and would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking legal advice.
As a retired, same-gender, married couple (including adult children for one of us) we went through a long search for the right legal experience to provide to us the advise and guidance we felt necessary for confidence with our estate planning. We are absolutely certain that Christopher Craig has been the right choice for us. After “test driving” other attorneys, we had almost given up finding someone who completely satisfied our search for the competence, experience, and ease of interaction that we fortunately found with Chris and his team. I highly recommend his expertise if you have similar needs for guidance through the maze of drawing up a trust to protect your estate and family.
We highly recommend Craig Associates, PC in Asheville. Chris Craig and his assistant, Shelly Lauzier, are exceptionally well-versed in North Carolina law, especially estate planning. They worked with Steve and me to create our living trust, amend our previous wills, and establish durable powers of attorney. We were complete novices, and Chris, always patient and kind, provided as much guidance and education as necessary to afford us a clear understanding of the North Carolina legal process to create a trust that would accommodate our desires and service our specific needs. Chris is trustworthy, intelligent, knowledgeable and well-read. He enjoys life, is affable, and can easily converse on a wide range of topics—a real Renaissance Man. His assistant, Shelly, is a stellar individual—outgoing, intelligent, dedicated to task, and has great interpersonal skills. We are so glad they are in our corner! We have already recommended Chris and Shelly to our friends who are interested in creating trusts. These two give 100% of themselves to every undertaking, and we would be remiss not to recommend them just as highly.
