Craig Warren Phemister - NY Lawyer Profile

Mr. Phemister has been practicing law in the state of New York since 1998. Throughout his career, he has successfully managed numerous cases and obtained over a hundred verdicts in court. Initially, his legal practice was primarily focused on personal injury cases. However, as time passed, he transitioned into handling matters involving individuals alleging police assault, wrongful arrest, and unlawful detention. As he delved deeper into these types of cases, Craig witnessed a pivotal moment when a New York judge exonerated a man who had spent close to 18 years wrongfully incarcerated, declaring him "actually innocent". This profound realization regarding the flaws in the legal system deeply impacted his professional trajectory. Mr. Phemister subsequently dedicated himself to investigating claims of wrongful convictions, uncovering instances where critical evidence was suppressed during trials or where witnesses were coerced by law enforcement to implicate his clients. He remains committed to seeking justice for those who have been wronged and ensuring that their voices are heard in the pursuit of proving their innocence.
