In time away from the office, I enjoy camping, hiking and trying to learn to play the banjo.

Relationship: Friend
I was at Gerry Spence's trial lawyer's college with Greg. I saw him in action and got to know him. He is an impressive advocate with keen persuasive skills. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a client or have him represent me.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
The memories of the time that I have spent with Greg will stay with me as long as I practice law. He has faced down challenges that many stout advocates would shy away from and is unafraid of Judges and Juries that look upon him as a foreigner in their hometown. His national practice is an inspiration to lawyers such as myself who tend to stick close to home and he is always available as a mentor to less experienced attorneys, returning messages and spending valuable time consulting with them to make sure that all of their questions are answered. On a personal note I also consider him a good friend who always makes sure to stay in close touch and follows my personal and professional development just like a brother.
