Bold, decisive, and comfortable stepping straight into hard conversations, M. Craig Robertson is a dominant force in Mississippi family law. A Board-Certified Family Law Specialist, he brings strategic clarity, disciplined execution, and fearless advocacy to every case. Highly competitive by nature, Craig prepares relentlessly, anticipates pressure points early, and positions his clients to win where it matters most. High-net-worth individuals, business owners, executives, and public figures trust him with their most private challenges. He has represented national and international figures across sports, entertainment, business, and politics, guiding complex matters with discretion, control, and precision.
A former Division I varsity baseball player, Craig learned early that preparation beats talent when talent fails to prepare. He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics from Mississippi State University and his Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi in 1999. As a law clerk to Judge Swan Yerger, he observed firsthand the prosecutor of Medgar Evers’ murderer working in the courtroom daily following the national spotlight created by Ghosts of Mississippi. He later trained under L.C. James, who famously represented Pat Fordice in her divorce from Governor Kirk Fordice in 2000 after public revelations of the governor’s long-term extramarital affair. Those early experiences shaped Craig’s understanding of high-profile litigation, media sensitivity, and disciplined courtroom advocacy.
Craig has been recognized in Best Lawyers in America since 2012 and Mid-South Super Lawyers since 2018. In 2025, he was named one of the Top 50 Attorneys in Mississippi, standing alongside leading lawyers from the state’s largest firms. His leadership extends beyond private practice. He has served on the Mississippi Commission on Children’s Justice, helping influence policy impacting families statewide, and has contributed to multiple boards focused on family stability and mental health. In 2011, he and his wife founded 200 Million Flowers, a nonprofit adoption agency that operated for a decade and partnered with CPS to accelerate foster family training and placement across Mississippi.
Craig’s commitment to mental, physical, and spiritual strength shapes both his life and his practice. He believes clarity drives confidence, resilience sustains momentum, and faith anchors perspective. Clients come to him in crisis. He brings structure to chaos, exposes what matters, and builds a forward strategy grounded in reality, not emotion.
When the stakes are high and the path forward feels uncertain, Craig provides what few can: steady judgment, sharp strategy, and relentless advocacy.
