Founder of Schauermann Thayer in Washington
Craig’s legal career began in Seattle, where he worked as an associate at a small personal injury firm. In January 1979, he relocated to Clark County and shifted his focus exclusively to practicing law in Washington. In 1986, he co-founded Schauermann Thayer, where his legal acumen played a pivotal role in securing numerous substantial verdicts, arbitration awards, and settlements on behalf of his clients. His dedication to justice and tireless advocacy earned him a reputation as a skilled trial lawyer who consistently delivered favorable outcomes for those he represented.
At Schauermann Thayer, the firm understands the profound impact that personal injury and wrongful death cases have on clients and their families. While financial compensation can never truly heal the emotional loss, pain, or life-altering consequences of such tragedies, the firm believes that holding those responsible accountable is a critical step in providing a measure of justice and closure. Obtaining fair compensation not only honors the rights of the victims but also helps alleviate the financial burdens their loved ones may face, allowing them to focus on healing and moving forward with their lives.
