James Stone Craven, Esq.

A fourth-generation native of Greenville, South Carolina, Attorney Craven is passionate about helping people and contributing well to the world.  He believes “if you put good in the universe, good will come back to you and that you must be tough but fair.”

With over 15 years of practice experience, there is no legal issue that Attorney Craven is not up to the challenge to solve.  Attorney Craven has an extensive background in various areas of the law, including but not limited to family, criminal defense, probate, intellectual property/trademark, and civil litigation.  He hopes to leave a lasting legacy in the legal profession through his hiring practices, mentorship of young lawyers, and integrity demonstrated to his clientele.  Attorney Craven cares about people, as shown by the reviews of his many clients and friends.

After graduating from Greenville High School, Attorney Craven attended undergraduate at the University of South Carolina, where he graduated with honors and was President of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. He attended the Loyola School of Law in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he absorbed the law and the city’s culture.

After graduating from Loyola with Honors, Attorney Craven returned to Greenville, South Carolina, to work for Ralph Bailey, PA- the first Intellectual Property Attorney in the State of South Carolina.  After Attorney Bailey passed away, Attorney Craven went out on his own and has been a fixture in the Greenville Legal Community ever since.

On his days off, you can find Attorney exploring his favorite cities, enjoying a game of golf, or spending time with his family, all while dressed in the hottest sneakers of the season.  No one better to have in your corner than Attorney Stoney Craven.
