Excellence at Work

I can’t believe it! After receiving over 40 letters in the mail From tons of Attorneys all over Virginia soliciting my business once I was arrested for my DUI in Virginia Beach, I worried that picking the right attorney was going to be hard and after reading a lot of reviews I knew that retaining a l...ocal VB attorney (preferably lives and practices in the same area), with mastery of the area of law needed (DUI/traffic) and positive reviews was my best bet! With these credentials in mind, Mr. Greenside was my first and only choice to represent me in my DUI case! To be honest, not many others fit this criteria! He keeps a small office that’s easily accessible in VB and I called and his receptionist was on lunch so the phone rang straight to his cell phone and he picked up Himself. In fact, I accidentally called the office once on a Saturday and he picked up himself as the phone rang to his personal cell phone!! On my day of court, I had the chance to observe Mr. Greenside walk the aisles of the court house with an air of confidence and urgency all the while saying and receiving Many warm Hello’s from many folks who work there! I knew at that moment that the court house folks respected him and therefore transferred that respect to the cases of those he represented, like mine. I knew I was in great hands and the criteria I use to Choose him were the Right ones! Prior to meeting with the judge, Mr. Greenside briefed with me one last time to ensure we had the best overall approach for my case and while It was ultimately My decision to accept a generous plea deal (which he masterly negotiated with the prosecutor) to minimize the additional proceedings of fighting the case; Mr. Greenside took an additional 45 minutes after formalities with the judge to de-brief me on what additional Proceedings would have looked like. It was during these 45 minutes of debriefing that I realized how skilled Mr. Greenside can be at producing the types of results we all really want when we find ourselves in these stressful legal situations. I have since decided that Mr. Greenside will be our families default attorney for similar matters! My first consultation was FREE and to be honest just consulting with him and hearing his break down of what would happen next took away much of the worry I had about my future. I felt 100x better once I had the clarity he provided me at that point which was all FREE!! Before I left his office I decided that I wanted to have him represent me so that I had a “friend in the court” looking out for my best interests and to do the necessary due diligence to see if any of my rights were violated prior, during, or after the DUI arrest. He was flexible with me getting the remaining balance to him prior to our day in court - it made the process very easy on me financially. Please note: I am definitely bias towards Mr. Greenside because my experience with his service was great and I really want you to make a decision to give his office a call and set up your first consultation - it’s FREE and I know that just from that first free meeting you will feel the extreme relief of worry like I felt after he broke it all down for me! Thank you Mr. Greenside!

John Greenside gave me great legal counsel and I beat my traffic ticket. I would highly recommend him in any traffic related matter. Cheers!

Amazing Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Greenside by a legal service through my employer and could not have been more pleased. He took the time to fully understand my situation and made outstanding recommendations. He is upfront, honest, and was extremely helpful in preparing me for court (a situation I never had to d...o before). His insight and experience were invaluable. By me abiding by his recommendations, I was able to have my case dismissed. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Outstanding!!

I was given Mr. Greenside via Prepaid Legal. He contacted me and told me what I needed to do--attend an In Person driving class, get a copy of my driver's record, and get my car calibration updated. Also, he asked me the specifics--the weather conditions on that day, what did I think the speed limit ...was, and how was my driver's record. He said that he would try to get the ticket dismissed. On the day of court, Mr. Greenside sent one of his assistant's. I can't remember his name. He was a nice attentive older Caucasian male who spoke to me, explained to me the difference of pleading not guilty and no contest. The assistant spoke to the judge for me and because I had been to an In Person driving class along with my good driving record, my case was dismissed and I only had to pay $65. Also, I believe that the assistant asking the officer, "Was she cooperative when you stopped her?" was a deciding factor in the case being dismissed. Without him being there, I would not have known to ask that question. I did learn the need for a lawyer when I need to go to court. I am thankful to Mr. Greenside that he told me to take an In Person class and not an Online class. The judge was not accepting any Online classes. It was an eye opener. Bravo Zulu to Mr. Greenside, his assistant that came to court with me, and his office personnel for a job well done. I would recommend Mr. Greenside to my friends and family if they need a traffic issue lawyer.

DUI Case Dismissed

I was charged with a DUI frantically searching for the right one when I come across reviews of Mr. Greenside and was so impressed I joined legal shield that day to hire Mr. Greenside. He accepted my case in a short amount of time and I can truly say there isn’t enough words to describe the professi...onal, preparation, and attention to detail he displayed in my case. His fees are truly reasonable where others lawyers where outrageous. Yes my case was dismissed and now I can move forward with my life and return to my professional driving career. My family and I thank you for all you’ve done. Well done!
