Often times we cringe at the thought of having to hire an attorney. Greg was a breath of fresh air to deal with. He was compassionate but very professional. I would very much recommend Greg as attorney worth hiring if you need legal consultation or representation. I would hire him again if I ever needed assistance in the Virginia Beach VA area again.
Greg is seasoned trial attorney with over 30 years of litigation experience, including eight years defending the United States Navy and Marine Corps in personal injury, property damage and medical malpractice claims brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act and Military Claims Act. He is an experienced trial Lawyer who enjoys the highest rating from his peers and the judiciary. He has tried countless cases on a wide range issues before judges and juries and represented thousands of people throughout the Hampton Roads area. His practice includes business litigation, contract disputes, injury law, family law and estate planning. He is qualified as a guardian ad litem for children and has gained reputation as a go-to lawyer for multi-jurisdictional child custody disputes. He joined the firm in 2006.

Professional & Trustworthy
Greg simply does everything he says he's going to do and then does it extremely well. If he says he's going to take care of it, it's taken care of.

He is a lawyer who actually cares about his clients and their best interest. He is extremely professional, has extensive knowledge of the law, an excellent understanding of human nature, and an exceptional drive to accomplish the desired outcome. He is a lawyer that gets the job done.

Divorce/Custody
Mr. Greg McCracken was highly recommended to me by another professional and friend who had gone through a similar situation. Having completed the legal proceedings at this point, I can also recommend Mr. McCracken without reservation. He is a consummate professional and a true gentleman.
The process was lengthy, nerve-wracking and expensive, as most contentious divorces and custody cases are. I had never been through any kind of legal process before and was out of my depth. I had no idea what my options were or what to expect at the start in such an emotionally charged and disruptive issue. Mr. McCracken was able to both reassure me and clearly explain the laws and process without overwhelming me. I found Mr. McCracken to be pragmatic and still be responsive, compassionate, and respectful. I had many questions over a long period of time, which he attempted to answer clearly, in a timely manner and always with patience, despite being an extremely busy attorney.
Mr. McCracken provided excellent legal advice as we navigated through a difficult, ever-changing landscape courtesy of my now ex-husband, who did his best to manipulate the system, draw the divorce out and make it as expensive as possible for me while attempting to leave me and the children with as little a settlement as possible. Mr. McCracken was forthright in his dealings with me and provided invaluable legal representation and moral support especially at my hearing. He stood up for me and the children and prevented us from being taken advantage of by my ex-husband and his lawyer. I cannot imagine going through the entire experience, particularly the hearing, without Mr. McCracken's expert legal experience and singular poise. Mr. McCracken protected my and my children's best interests and worked with me on the financial aspects of my case until all matters were resolved.
Mr. McCracken earned my trust and respect by guiding me through the most incredibly stressful and painful experience of my life. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
