Craig W. Wiley

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex employment dispute

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-plaintiff employment litigation that threatened significant financial and reputational damage. After consultations with several firms, we retained Craig Wiley at Jackson Lewis. From our first meeting, his deep knowledge of Indiana employment law and his 27 years of focused experience were immediately apparent. He didn't just recite statutes; he provided a strategic roadmap that considered both the immediate litigation and our long-term operational goals. Craig's recognition in Best Lawyers for Employment Law - Management and Litigation - Labor and Employment is clearly well-earned. He masterfully handled the discovery process, anticipating opposing counsel's moves, and his deposition preparations were invaluable. What truly sets him apart is his ability to explain complex legal concepts in clear, business-oriented terms, making us confident partners in our own defense. His negotiation strategy was assertive yet pragmatic, ultimately leading to a settlement that protected our interests far better than we had hoped while avoiding a protracted public trial. Craig is more than a brilliant attorney; he is a trusted advisor who understands that legal issues are business issues. For any Indiana business navigating the complexities of labor, employment, or municipal law, I cannot recommend Craig Wiley more highly.
