Biography

Craig Harrison has been a fixture in the Sarasota legal community since 1989, though his professional journey began in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With bar admissions in both Michigan and Florida, he brings a seasoned perspective to the team at Lyons, Beaudry & Harrison, P.A. Craig is a Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in Wills, Trusts, and Estates, a distinction he earned in 2010 that marks him as a true expert in his field. His dedication to excellence is further reflected in his AV Preeminent rating and his consistent selection as a Super Lawyer since 2015. Beyond the accolades, Craig is a family man who has been married to his wife, Cecilia, for over 30 years. He is incredibly proud of his two daughters—one a tax accountant and the other an attorney—both of whom are "double Gators." Even the family poodle, Maizey Blu, carries a bit of his history, named in honor of the University of Michigan. When he isn’t helping clients secure their legacies, Craig stays active through tennis, golf, and fishing, bringing a balanced and approachable energy to everything he does.
