Background:

 

Mr. Small attended Syracuse University where he received his Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy. Upon graduation, Mr. Small relocated to the Roaring Fork Valley, working as an information technology consultant for several years. Wanting to combine his expertise in technology and interest in law, Mr. Small pursued his Juris Doctorate at Golden Gate University in San Francisco and continued his law education with a Master of Laws in Intellectual Property Law. During that period, he interned with several law firms including the Thai Intellectual Property Law and International Trade Court in Bangkok, Thailand.

 

As a longtime resident of the Roaring Fork Valley before embarking on his law education, Mr. Small was happy to return to the state that he loves. He started the Law Office of Craig Small to offer his legal services to the local and state communities that share the same values he holds; honesty, integrity and commitment to excellence.

 

In his free time, Mr. Small enjoys telemark skiing, reading science fiction/fantasy and hockey (as a player and a fan).
