Great Experience

Posted by Frank | July 12, 2011

A military client

His "bed side" manner as we say in the medical field is/was outstanding. He provided me with a lot of handholding during my legal problem. I highly recommend him for your legal needs!

Posted by Mike | January 31, 2011 | Criminal Defense

Handled my Court Martial and got me off!!

I fired my Trial Defense Lawyer when he tried to make me plead to something I did not do. I hired Greg and fought hard and won for me! I cant thank or recommend him and his law firm enough!
