Meet Craig Drummond
Craig W. Drummond, the founding attorney of Drummond Law Firm, brings a soldier's discipline and a fighter's instinct to representing injured Nevadans. Before he ever stood up for an accident victim, he served as a Captain in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, where he represented the United States as a federal military prosecutor and trial counsel before later serving as a trial defense counsel for service members charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In that role he advised senior commanders and handled hundreds of criminal investigations and prosecutions, from minor offenses all the way up to double-murder cases, and he also counseled the Army on civil injury and accident claims brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Deployed to Iraq in 2007, Craig earned the Bronze Star Medal and came home a decorated combat veteran, rated "the best" by his superiors.
A graduate of Drake University for both his undergraduate and law degrees, Craig was commissioned into the JAG Corps after law school and built a foundation in high-stakes litigation few civilian attorneys can match. After his honorable discharge, he transitioned to private practice in Las Vegas, joining a respected boutique firm where he focused on catastrophic personal injury cases and sharpened his skills across mediations, arbitrations, settlement conferences, and jury trials. In 2010 he opened Drummond Law Firm to devote himself to injured clients on his own terms.
Today Craig concentrates his practice on personal injury, catastrophic injury, and auto accident cases, along with state and federal criminal defense. He has tried more than fifty contested trials and recovered tens of millions of dollars for clients, taking on some of the largest corporations in the country, including Amazon, Walmart, FedEx, Ford, Toyota, Caesars, Uber, and Lyft. His work has earned him an AVVO 10.0 top rating, recognition as a "Top Lawyer" by Desert Companion magazine, a place among the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and a turn as a local legal expert for Court TV during a high-profile Las Vegas trial. Because so many peers took to calling him "The Captain," the nickname became the firm's signature, "Call the Captain."
Craig's connection to his military past runs deeper than his courtroom style. In 2017 he authored Saving Sandoval, published by Wild Blue Press, which recounts his defense of a U.S. Army sniper charged with a crime on the Iraq battlefield and has drawn praise from the military history community. That same sense of duty shapes how he runs his firm: clients work on a contingency basis and benefit from the firm's Reduced Fee Guarantee®, which Drummond bills as unique in Nevada and which promises that the firm's fee will never exceed a client's net recovery. For Craig, advocacy is simply the continuation of a career built on standing up for people who need a fighter in their corner.
