Craig J. Tiedemann’s Summary
For four years running - 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008 - Craig has been voted one of Boston's "Rising Stars" and "Super Lawyers" by Boston Magazine and Law & Politics, distinctions conferred on less than 2.5% of attorneys. The awards are especially notable because the voting was by opposing counsel, judges who observed Craig on his feet in their courtrooms, and others unaffiliated with the lawyers they nominate.
Craig has extensive trial experience - lead trial counsel in every case - including several lengthy Superior Court trials and one in District Court. Craig won his clients the full amount of damages they sought in every single trial but one. Craig just did it again; winning another jury verdict for the full contract amount after a multi-day trial in the spring of 2007.
Craig J. Tiedemann’s Specialties:
Experienced trial lawyer with a general practice, catering to sophisticated clients with complicated business disputes and individuals with important, often sensitive personal problems. At TLF, Craig's practice emphasizes construction litigation, copyright infringement, contract and real property disputes.
