About Craig D. Rackohn

Craig D. Rackohn is the Senior Trial Attorney at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock and runs the firm’s litigation department. He has been practicing law since 1984, has tried cases to verdict in California for more than 30 years, and is licensed in both California and Arizona. His California Bar status (No. 116107) is verifiable through the State Bar of California: apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/116107. Craig’s practice focuses on personal injury and insurance bad-faith claims — the cases that need a courtroom rather than a settlement memo.

Craig writes and reviews much of the firm’s content on choosing an attorney, evaluating attorney success rates, insurance bad-faith claims under California Insurance Code Section 790.03, and the realities of taking a case to a California jury. When you read a Burg and Brock article about how a personal injury claim moves from demand to trial, what an insurance bad-faith case looks like, or how to evaluate the lawyer you’re hiring, Craig has either authored it or reviewed it.

Approach to representation

Craig works each case from the standpoint that it might end in front of a jury. That changes how the file is built — demand packages are documented to evidentiary standards, treatment records are organized for trial use, and expert designations are made early. The carriers know it. That posture is how Burg and Brock has converted carrier zero-offers into mid-six-figure verdicts at trial.
