About Craig

Craig A. Altman, Esq. pairs Division-I athletic grit with 35 years of courtroom muscle for injury victims in Pennsylvania’s five-county region and South Jersey. A former American University track standout, he opened the Law Offices of Craig A. Altman in downtown Philadelphia in 1990, determined to stop insurers from “delay-and-deny” tactics that cheat the injured. That mission has produced remarkable results, including a $20 million for a family in a wrongful death suit, a $10 million burn-injury verdict, and multiple seven-figure workplace and premises settlements, because Craig refuses discount offers and is always ready for trial. Clients quickly learn that his blunt style masks a deep empathy: he returns every call, explains every move in plain language, and measures success by how fully a settlement restores a client’s life, not just the headline number. Outside his cases, Craig serves as a volunteer arbitrator and Judge Pro Tem for the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, helping peer attorneys resolve complex disputes, and he donates time and resources to regional charities such as Philabundance, Mission Kids, and the South Jersey AIDS Alliance. Early-morning runs keep him “Division-I fit,” while decades of verdicts keep insurers honest, proof that tough advocacy and genuine compassion can coexist. Craig is a lawyer whose dedication to injured people and the communities they live in runs deep. Ask Craig A. Altman what powers his practice and he answers without hesitation: “Insurance companies are the biggest rip-offs around. Someone has to stand up for the little guy.” That conviction has propelled more than 35 years of relentless advocacy. From day one, Craig has built a career on dismantling the insurance companies’ delay-and-deny playbook and turning it into real dollars for people hurt through no fault of their own.
