Exceptional Legal Expertise and Outstanding Client Care

I cannot recommend Piede Law highly enough! From the moment I reached out, their team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, compassion, and dedication. They took the time to truly understand the situations, explaining every step of the process in clear, accessible terms. It was evident that they... genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us. Gregory is not only highly skilled but also incredibly approachable. His team which included Liz and Heather attention to detail and strategic thinking were evident in every interaction. They handled themselves in a professional and kind manner especially with a difficult person that was unfortunately involved with the estate after the death of my father. A special mention of Liz her patience and understanding during this difficult time made me feel supported throughout the entire process. What sets this firm apart is their commitment to client satisfaction. They were always available to answer my questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance when I needed it most. Their responsiveness and transparency made a very stressful experience feel manageable and even empowering. If you’re looking for a law firm that combines top-tier legal knowledge with genuine empathy and personalized service, look no further than Piede Law. They are truly a cut above the rest! ~Linda Flanigan

Beware this law firm

For several years my family used Gregory Piede for elder care concerns and legal advice and documents. What we found was that Mr Piede delegates most if not all work to his assistants, does not take personal interest nor track details, and is highly neglectful in providing billing documentation. In t...he case of our dad, it cost thousands more than it should have. We could never recommend him to others.

Impressive From Start to Finish

We hired Mr. Piede in October of 2020. We brought our father up from Florida. My parents started the process of poa's living wills and having a trust but that was back in 2010. We needed someone we could trust and help us to get ready for the medicaid process. Tiffany was awesome!!! She was right... on point. Never too busy to answer a question or even the same question a few times. They got all the information and paperwork ready for when my dad was ready to go into a home. My dad went into a home in March and in April he was approved. If it wasn't for the whole team I am not sure where my dad and my family would be. Thank you for making a emotional time go smoothly. Thank you for everything you did.

Outstanding staff and wirk

It’s taken me too long to do this but I found Mr. Piede and his law firm in 2019 when I needed to update my mother’s power of attorney and get her Medicaid ready in a relatively short time. Greg and his staff did an amazing job on both counts. I can’t recommend this law firm highly enough. Thank you ...Greg and staff!

Exceptional Attorney

Greg helped me with a delicate issue concerning my role as my Father's POA. I found his work to be excellent and feel very fortunate to have had him represent me on the matter. I found him to be diplomatic, honest, accommodating, highly knowledgeable, and efficient. A real credit to the law profe...ssion.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Relationship: Co-worker

"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"
