Business 30%

I have achieved uniform success in negotiating extraordinarily favorable deals for clients in complex transactions, and protecting the results with imaginative language in contracts that held up in court. In addition I have networked small and medium businesses with strategic partners, helped them obtain loans and investments and positioned many clients for IPOs or acquisitions. In addition, I have expertise in labor and employment matters, and have helped clients avoid litigation and expense.

Appeals 8%

I have won appeals in federal and state appellate courts around the USA. As a trial lawyer I have honed my skill in digesting large trial transcripts and evidence in hard cases. I have a passion for legal research, and doggedly pursue every avenue to find case law, and policy arguments to convince appellate courts. Years of writing briefs and my experience arguing motions and closing to juries have produced a positive ratio of favorable outcomes in my appeals. And, I enjoy the work.

Posted by Bob | March 06, 2023 | Ethics & Professional Responsibility

Compassionate, Professional and Kind

My goal was to ascertain whether or not another firm had mishandled my case, and Mr Green took the time out of his busy schedule to not only review my case, but also examine the filings and decisions made and spent more than a little time on the phone with me explaining what happened and advising me ...on how to proceed. He was empathetic to my circumstances, and explained everything to me in layman's terms. I cannot thank you enough Gary0, and although I hope that we never have reason to meet again, should I ever need an attorney in the future, you will be my first call. If you're reading this trying to decide on a lawyer who will treat you like your case matters, you've found him.

Best Lawyer EVER!!!!

Gary Green is a wonderful attorney, he is very knowledgeable, wise, informative, honest, and a professional lawyer, I always knew that Gary had my best interest at heart with absolutely no hidden agenda. Gary kept me informed as to what was going on with my case every step of the way, which was very ...important to me; communication is very important in any business transaction. Gary made me feel as though I was a multi-million dollar client as I was treated with respect and was given all the attention I needed with my case. He is the hardest working lawyer I know taking time to respond to my many inquires late in the night at times, over weekends, and holidays. Gary treats his clients like family and I will be forever indebted to him. Oh and by the way he knows how to WIN!!!!! Thanks Gary...

GARY GREEN

“What we know matters but who we are matters more.” Brene Brown Sidkoff, Pincus & Green, and its managing partner, Gary Green, has handled legal matters for me for forty years from personal injury and financial issues, to ...understanding concerns with my small business, and interpreting complex literary copyright practices. His knowledge and application of the law is flawless. He is direct and to the point and will honestly tell you how it is, without exaggeration or a tendency to fill you up with fluff and false hopes. This is the level of personal integrity and unconditional trust you expect from your attorney. If you are looking for a straight shooter, I would look no further.

Family Business Situation

I was nervous when I first met Gary. I had never needed a lawyer's services before and had just gone through a difficult family business situation in which a bevy of expert lawyers all told me that I was not entitled to any relief. A friend of mine recommended Gary Green. Gary analyzed copious a...mounts of documents involving my case and explained my situation in terms that were clearer than anyone had previously. He objectively described why previous interpretations were incorrect and then recommended a type of lawsuit that no one had ever thought of or suggested. Immediately after filing my lawsuit, the other side promptly came to Gary's office to discuss settlement. Gary got me what I deserved, and gave me invaluable advice on how to put aside my emotions and to focus on the right perspective.

Tough guys make great lawyers!

I have used Sidkoff as my business and personal law firm for 30 years. I chose them in 1985 because I need a no B.S., hard-hitting firm---a firm totally opposite from the button-down, self-serving overhead loving firms that spent my money on lunch at the Union League. I needed tough guys and I got ...them at Sidkoff. Not once has Gary Green and his team let me down—through an employee tax fraud case, a major shareholder issue, multiple business issues and several complex personal legal matters, I knew where I could turn for instant, totally focused, aggressive representation that was delivered to me in plain language and ALWAYS placed my interests first! I have had cases handled by Gary Green Bob Davitch, Casey Green and Larry Keller—all the partners and each one has bene won or settled in a timely way with an outcome that made sense for me and my business interests. As the previous owner of Philadelphia’s largest health & fitness enterprise I had lots of “issues, suits, exposures, etc. SPG was always there when I needed them and gave me solid value for my legal dollars! (redacted) After 30 winning years I am honored to provide a “live” recommendation for SPG!
