Professional, personable, to the point

Can't speak highly enough of Jack! From my first consultation, to the finish, he was just the person I needed for my case. Honest open and forthcoming. I was in a tough position with the RMV, as well as the merit board however Jack patiently helped me sort through, step by step of what I was facing... and guided me in the right direction. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable to my particular circumstances and was by my side throughout! His kind reassurance and to the point attitude is remarkable! Always answered my calls promptly and was readilly available to answer any questions or concerns! If ever in a tough spot Jack is the one you need!

Great Lawyer better person

Jack Greene is a great lawyer, he has had 2 OUI cases thrown out for me and got my license restored 2 times. The best thing about Jack is that he listens to you and does not judge, He talks to you like a friend and not like you are just another client that he has on his list. He is nice and respond...s to you very quickly when you reach out to him. If he doesn't know something give him 24 hours and he will find out the information, In my recent case I was pulled over leaving a gentlemen's club as soon as I crossed into a different town, There was 8 of us at the club so we had 3 cars and as we left I was the middle car. As I cross in to the next town on route 138 I see a cop car cross the double lanes and pass 4 cars to get behind me. After he follows me for about a 30 seconds he lights me up. When I get the report and give it to Jack he see some holes in the report immediately, but one of the best things about Jack he doesn't feed you the BS telling you that can win this case. He tells you the truth and what he thinks he can do for you and then you go from there. Jack doesn't act like he is better than you or that he knows everything he listens to you and whatever ideas you may have. One of my witnesses had a thought and Jack ran with it, he pulled what is called a CAD report realized discrepancies in the officers story. It ends up the officer ran my plates along with everyone else while I was in the club. He saw that I had a previous OUI case and must have profiled me. He was in another town that he didn't work in and that is why I got pulled over when I hit that town and he knew to pass all those cars. Then Jack wanted the booking tape because told him I wasn't even drunk that night and for some reason they didn't record one that night. That didn't seem right so we Jack talked to the DA and the police supervisor for this town and after year the case was thrown out. Jack is great I would refer him to anyone because he is a great person and a hard worker.

YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

John J. Greene is the only way to go! I had 2 drug cases a few years apart and in both cases I received the outcome jack and I discussed the first day I met him in his office. Which is conviently located a block away from the court house. Jacks hard work got both of my cases dismissed! And he ...kept me well informed throughout the entire process. (He even reminds you when you have court) I still thank him for that! Let jack represent you and you won't be disappointed. He got me the results I wanted! And i couldn't be happier!!

Two cases, two dismissals!

I had Jack represent me on two cases in a two year period. One was a speeding ticket (I was speeding), but Jack convinced them to drop the ticket if I did not get another for 60 days.... And they did. The other case was much more serious. A hit and run with property damage and personal injury. Jack ...kept pushing the date off, and kept telling me that time is our friend in these cases. Almost two years later, when it was time for the person to ID me in court, they had been long since paid by insurance and did not show up. The whole case was dismissed because Jack was willing to make appearance after appearance looking for extensions to buy time. He fought hard for me at every turn, but more important we won the cases in a big way. Charges Dismissed!

Excellent, Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Jack Greene. We needed a harassment protection order against someone who would not leave our family alone. Originally, we hired another lawyer who was afraid to move forward for fear of future retaliation. We needed a lawyer who would listen and understand what we were up against. ...We hired Jack and were so pleased to learn he had been a Boston prosecutor. He listened, he was straightforward, he kept us informed and was always accessible. He even worked on our case while on vacation, seeing the case through to the end and checking up on us after we won. We would definitely use him again if needed.
