Adam L. Crayk graduated Magna Cum Laude from Creighton University School of Law, where he was a member of the National Jesuit Honors Society. After law school, he briefly practiced with Wingo, Rinehart & McConkie before accepting a judicial clerkship in 2003 with Chief Federal Judge Dee Benson of the United States District Court for the District of Utah. Crayk served as a clerk until January 2005, then joined Stowell & Associates. In 2007, the firm became Stowell Crayk, PLLC.

Over the years, Crayk has developed a niche practice in criminal defense, immigration law, and the intersection of the two—known as “Crimmigration.” He advises the Salt Lake County Legal Defenders Association on criminal cases involving immigration consequences and has represented clients in hundreds of deportation trials, including Cancellation of Removal, Asylum, and Adjustment of Status cases. The firm consistently manages more than a hundred active deportation cases at any given time.

Crayk has built a large private immigration practice, handling adjustment of status applications, asylum claims, citizenship applications, U Visas, employment visas, and other cases involving U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. He frequently lectures on immigration and “Crimmigration” topics, presenting annually at the University of Utah School of Law and various continuing legal education seminars.

For the past five years, Crayk has been recognized as one of Utah Business Magazine’s Legal Elite in criminal defense. His criminal defense practice spans from complex homicide cases to misdemeanor matters, and he has extensive experience in both jury and bench trials throughout Utah.

In collaboration with his partners, Crayk has helped develop a large indigent criminal defense practice. The firm represents about ten cities and Salt Lake County, helping those who cannot afford legal representation receive strong advocacy in court.

Primarily found in either criminal or immigration court, Crayk is committed to making sure his clients’ voices are heard and working tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes for those he represents.
