Greg Birney Esq.

We were selling an independent pharmacy to a buyer who kept postponing the settlement. Greg pursued their attorney to find out why the delays. When he could not get an answer he suggested we cancel the deal. Very intuitive on his part we confronted the buyer and found out that he was just using us un...til he completed another deal. Then Greg was our attorney for the next deal with a chain corporation. The corporate lawyer was not familiar with Maryland law and tried to delay the process by citing antiquated laws. Greg informed the attorneys supervisor and had the process expedited. If it was not for Greg’s legal acumen we would probably still be in negotiations. I have dealt with many attorneys over the years and I sincerely believe Greg was the best in his professionalism and tenacity to get the deal done.

Professional and Thorough

I was initially referred to Greg via the Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) of the Boston Bar Association, after I was served a complaint by a collections agency claiming that I owed them money from a debt they claimed to have acquired from a major US Bank / creditor. Greg took careful consideration o...f all facets of my case, and offered several options regarding how we could proceed. He struck a fine balance between advising and allowing me to make the decisions that would ultimately impact my life. He was very careful in his effort to gain all relevant information about the case, without prying into any personal information. His correspondence regarding new information he obtained, or questions that I had were always timely and thorough. His attention to detail was impressive, and it was abundantly clear that he is passionate about about his craft. I felt as though I was his only client throughout the duration of my case. Overall, I was extremely pleased with Greg's professionalism, as well as his ability to cover all angles (even those that seemed unlikely). I felt like I was in very good hands throughout the entire process, and never doubted his ability or motives. I felt able to trust Greg from the start, and I'm very pleased with the overall outcome of the case. If you're in need of defense for a debt collection case, I would highly recommend contacting Greg.

One of the best

Mr Byrney is very professional and knows his craft very well, I retained him to represent me due to a number of credit issues that required court appearances etc, I firmly believe that without his counsel and expertise the outcome of my cases would have been very different without a doubt., He is ve...ry detail oriented, follows through with everything very closely, works with the client closely to make sure every move is well thought out and plans well ahead to make sure the outcome is the best possible and beneficial to his clients., I highly recommend him, and would not hesitate to engage his services anytime should the need arise.,
