Origin
A Tucson Native Who Never Left
Craig Wisnom grew up in Tucson, earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Arizona in 1992, and stayed to complete his J.D. at the university’s James E. Rogers College of Law in 1995. He has practiced continuously in Southern Arizona since. He is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC), a past chair of the State Bar of Arizona’s Probate & Trust Section, and a past chair of the Estate and Trust Advisory Committee that helps administer his own certification.
Practice
Estate Planning With an Elder Law Emphasis
At Bogutz & Gordon, Wisnom prepares and reviews wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, financial and health care powers of attorney, and advance medical directives, tailoring each plan to a client’s specific goals. He also guides family members through probate and estate administration after a death, and his dual certification in elder law adds a focus — long-term care planning, guardianship, and the needs of aging clients — that a general estate planning practice doesn’t necessarily carry.
Track Record
Estate planning practices generally do not produce litigated verdicts or settlements to report, and no such compilation was located or claimed in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
A FindLaw client review states: “Craig has been working with me and my family for 20 years. I have found him to be very thorough and very caring.” No negative reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile; that reflects the available public record, not a claim of a flawless history.
Community
Wisnom serves on the Board of Trustees for the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, is a former president of the Arizona Fiduciaries Association and the Southern Arizona Estate Planning Council, and has appeared as a legal contributor on KVOA’s News at 4. According to his firm biography, he is also a published writer — his firm profile notes an award-winning piece combining law and swords-and-sorcery fiction in the State Bar’s magazine — and a longtime heavy metal music enthusiast.
Recognition
Wisnom is a State Bar of Arizona board-certified specialist in estate and trust law (certified since 2001) and a Certified Elder Law Attorney through the National Elder Law Foundation, and he has been repeatedly named to Super Lawyers’ Tucson list. This profile uses the word “specialist” advisedly, on the strength of that documented, individually attributed certification.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona probate proceedings follow the Arizona Probate Code, with informal probate available for uncontested estates. Arizona has no state estate or inheritance tax. For elder law matters specifically, Arizona’s guardianship and conservatorship statutes (Title 14) govern how a court appoints someone to manage the affairs of an incapacitated adult when no power of attorney is in place.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Craig Wisnom’s differentiator is a genuine dual credential — board certification in estate and trust law layered with national elder law certification — serving a Tucson-area population with a substantial retiree and aging demographic. The honest trade-off: his firm is Southern Arizona–focused, and clients with property or family spread across multiple states should confirm the firm’s capacity to coordinate multistate estate issues before engaging.
