Best Lawyer

Mr. Abney, has been my lawyer for 10 years. After my initial consultation over the phone and meeting with him, he explained what I needed to do to get my divorce, save my investments and sell my home. Actually, it took years to settle the issues with my ex-husband in regards to selling of the marit...al home. During this time, Mr. Abney was patient, and explained to me all I needed to do while I waited for the issues of the martial home to be resolved. My house was finally sold. I am so grateful for Mr. Abney's expertise and advise. If you need a excellent attorney, contact Mr. Abney you won't be disappointed.

Calm, fair, committed to his client!

I interviewed several attorneys and chose Greg Abney and I am very glad I did. It was not a simple case, included military pension, and inherited assets, and he kept me on track through several curve balls which he handled like a pro. Always responsive to my calls and emails, he explained things cl...early so even I could understand. I truly felt we were a team. Any divorce case involves interaction with the “opposing side.” I was proud to be on his “team” because of his calm, businesslike responses both in and out of court. He was always succinct and clear, and persuasive at the same time. His work ethic was amazing, and as we sorted through all the paperwork, he kept it straight. If you are looking for a fair, committed, always on your side lawyer, choose Greg Abney.

Excellent Service

Greg to represent me in my divorce. He treated me with respect and provided outstanding service. He answered every question I had and followed up quickly. His invoices were detailed so I never wondered where charges came from. Because of Greg, legal representation was one less thing I had to worry ab...out during a particularly stressful time.

I hired Mr. Abney to help me with my divorce. It's not easy by all means to go through a divorce, but Mr. Abeny made it easy for me, he is bright, clever, a truly strategist, responsive, extremely and proactive. He handle my case in the best interest of me. He never created unrealistic expectations b...ut delivered excellent results. I strongly recommend that anyone facing a family matter consider hire him.

Above and Beyond the rest!

I hired Greg for my custody and divorce. Greg not only did an excellent job at every step of the way. He was upfront, honest, and it was extremely evident from the start that his experience was something that I valued very much. Greg doesn't just prepare for himself. He helped me and others pre...pare. He cared about me as if I was family. That was a huge plus. He ALWAYS answered my questions along the way. Greg's performance in the courtroom was something from a movie. He was seriously that good. I knew he would do an excellent job, but seeing him in action was incredible to see. Again, his experience proved to set himself from the other side. I am very confident that if I made the mistake of going with someone else, I would have regretted it for a long time. Greg's performance did more than I can ever express in words. He did more than bring my case to victory. He brought me the justice I deserved and ensured that I was awarded everything I asked for. I hope I never need a lawyer again. But I'm thankful and greatful that I already know who to call. I would not hesitate for a second to hire Greg again. I highly recommended him to anyone else wanting a lawyer that is above the rest! Thanks Greg for your professionalism and dedication.
