Greg is an excellent attorney who I highly recommend

Greg is currently helping us hold a school district accountable for failing to act when our daughter was being bullied by peers and forced to leave school. He is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy, and he has helped our family navigate through a difficult case with sensitivity and kindness. He... is very responsive to any questions and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him, particularly for cases dealing with student's rights.

Big help

Attorney Greg Smith was a big help with getting my child's special education needs met. He entered the case late in the game when I lost faith in my prior attorney, dedicated himself to getting up to speed very quickly, and was very well organized and prepared as an advocate.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
