Meet Craig Dunkin
Craig Dunkin earned a BA in Political Science from UCLA and his JD from Loyola School in 1990. He immediately began work at a longstanding Los Angeles firm before eventually settling in as a partner for 23 years at a prominent national law firm. Craig represented major insurance companies and Fortune 500 companies, practicing in the fields of premises liability, auto accidents, product liability, legal malpractice, self-storage industry liability, landlord-tenant, and general liability.
Craig has handled all aspects of cases throughout his career, including acting as lead trial attorney, guiding clients through mediation and settlement discussions, taking depositions, preparing motions, and handling cases in the Court of Appeal. Craig’s attributes include an ability to strategically position a case for the best result possible and to persuade a judge or jury to his client’s point of view.
When not practicing law, Craig organizes youth soccer leagues, referees youth soccer games, and teaches new soccer referees. He is also a play-by-play broadcaster of college football, baseball, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Craig also enjoys traveling, attending music festivals, following sports (including his beloved Bruins and Angels), and spending time with friends and family.
At the end of the day, all of this is about making people’s lives better. Everything we do is geared toward our clients and giving them the best possible result.
