The client should be the center and focus of any legal representation. I strive to listen carefully to my clients, identify with them their problems, and find the best solution available. Each client brings a unique set of issues and concerns, and customizing and successfully implementing a solution is what constitutes a successful legal representation. Within ethical restraints, what is best for the client should be the ultimate driving force of everything that the lawyer does.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had the pleasure to work with Gregory Piede and found him to be a highly intelligent and competent attorney with a moral core that is impeccable. I trust him not only as a colleague but also as the Elder and Estate Planning attorney for my mother. He is caring and compassionate with a sharp legal and financial mind. This combination is essential when working in the area of Elder Law, where he is helping individuals with difficult and complex decisions that will greatly affect their future and the future of their loved ones. I highly recommend Gregory Piede as an Elder and Estate Planning attorney.

I refer clients to Greg regularly. I worked with Greg on a project shortly after I graduated from Law School. He demonstrated leadership, organization, and an understanding of the issues necessary for our project to be successful. Given that this project involved an area of law outside of his usual practice and he handled it with competence, there is little doubt in my mind that Greg is someone I can trust to serve my clients, current and former, in all aspects of Elder Law. I highly recommend him.

I have referred several of my clients to Greg who are dealing with the complex area of elder law. Greg has always provided them with excellent service and used his extensive knowledge of the law to protect their interests.

Greg is an enthusiastic, highly skilled and terrific lawyer with unique talent and passion for helping his clients. We have worked collaboratively on client matters and as partners on other related topics. He works extremely hard for his clients. He drove hours to meet a Spanish-speaking client at a detention center just because the client felt nervous and wanted to see him for five minutes; He always has time for phone calls from his aged clients and provides them with guidance on their estate planning cases in a simple to understand manner. His clients are always so grateful to him! With a strong background of education and rich work experience, Greg’s quality of work and high level of service are outstanding. He is very intelligent and generous with his ideas, so is respected by his fellow lawyers. In a word, he is not only offers superior service to his clients, but his integrity and trustworthiness are beyond question. I HIGHLY recommend him to all who may require his expert
