Mr. Brewer is an excellent attorney
If you want an attorney who will fight for you within the confines of the law then Greg is a good choice. When I left my ex he filed for an Absolute divorce after the 1yr separation requirement. Greg fought for me to have court ordered alimony. There was an unusual twist in my case which Greg successfully helped me with. He is a kind, hard working man. He always promptly replied to my e-mails and answered my questions. His staff is wonderful. Every one I encountered was very kind and helpful Any messages I left for Greg were always given to him. Based on my experience I would recommend Greg if you need an attorney.

Family law
Mr. Brewer took the time needed to hear our side from the initial phone call through the end of the trial. Mr. Brewer took the time needed to hear our side from the initial phone call through the end of the trial. Mr. Brewer was excellent with any return calls that he had to make us and was always readily available to answer our questions. Mr. Brewer did everything possible to help us win the custody of our grandson and he was careful to not to make our grandson feel threatened in anyway and made him feel safe when speaking with us at the office.

Workers Compensation
I was injured at work in 1993 and Mr. Brewer took my case. He made sure the insurance company paid for all of my medical bills and the time I lost at work. I've received a check EVERY week since my accident. This law firm took good care of me and I would highly recommend them for anything! They were on my side when the insurance company was against me.

I finally feel EFFECTIVE assistance of counsel!
I have hired Greg, and for the first time in my experience of these legal matters, have actually got an attorney entering evidence for me and giving me vindication in court. He knows well what he is doing, he has over 30 years experience, and I couldn't tell you what a relief it is to actually have a lawyer fighting for you on the front lines as well as in chambers. I know that my prognosis for the outcome of my cases is far greater now that I have him. He's making strides where there was little to none- and in a short period of time already. He's rational, respectable, and fights aggressively for justice. I highly recommend him and there is no one else in the area that I could say amounts to a hill of beans, and I've hired them or consulted with them all. I would rather be pro se than to have any of the rest- but I would rather have him representing me than to be pro se. I have confidence in him and not an ounce of doubt that he would ever deceive me- which was unfortunately constantly experienced with other lawyers in surrounding counties. I'm very grateful that I have found that there is still a lawyer who has his head and his heart on straight. Everything that he has recommended has truly turned out to be the most sound advice. I highly recommend him.

Much-Valued Divorce Help
I first met with Mr. Brewer on December 23rd, 2014 about my impending divorce. I was getting divorced from a highly-corrupt and unethical woman who wanted to take me for all I was worth and, above all, tried every trick in the book to separate me (and my family) from my child. I was told by two unrelated individuals to seek Mr. Brewer's expertise and figured I would give it a shot. Lawyers have a bad reputation in many circles, but Mr. Brewer quickly proved that to be wrong in his case. He worked tirelessly to get justice accomplished for myself and my child and now things are better than ever. Without him, I would have been totally thrown under the bus by my former spouse, her attorney and the legal system in general. Kudos to Mr. Brewer and his team for helping out a NC dad so much! I would recommend him to anyone without a doubt.

Super easy, affordable service
I called them to handle a speeding ticket. Their price is lower than many other attorneys in the area. They are getting it pled to an equipment violation...super easy process done entirely over the phone in about 5 minutes. They take credit cards and don't need the actual paper traffic citation. I highly recommend.

Great Attorney!
I would recommend no other attorney or law firm in the area. I was recently unjustly arrested and charged with 5 felonies even though I had no related earlier charges. Mr. Brewer worked with the authorities, the District Attorney and me to allow me to enter a plea bargain in which I was only convicted of misdemeanors. I received small fines and only 6 months supervised probation. This allowed me to keep my benefits, my honor and my family, including two young daughters intact. My family and I will forever be grateful to Mr. Brewer for his kindness and professionalism on this matter. He fought to help me and he will fight for you and your legal rights too!

Not Your Typical DUI Case
I had a medical condition that was misidentified and mistaken by law enforcement for Driving Under the Influence. After a long wait and several continuances, we had the final trial. Greg represented me during the trial procedure. He had a plan, executed it flawlessly, and we won with Not Guilty-Case Dismissed. Although it didn't seem to make sense during the build-up to the trial, Greg always instilled a feeling a trust in me. He really showed that that was indeed true right down to the very end of the trial. My older parents—who had made a long drive from out-of-state for the trial—said the very same thing.

THE BEST AND FASTEST LAWYER EVER! :-)
I got a speeding ticket on Thanksgiving Day 2013 and this lawyer took care of me IMMEDIATELY! I was so impressed with the SPEED/responsiveness of this lawyer. 110% satisfied! :-) He got me an improper equipment charge. I was worried I would lose my license because I have had so many speeding tickets. NOT happening with him. Love this lawyer.

Attorney Greg Brewer fought hard on my case!
I had an unbelievably difficult custody case in front of me. I was put in touch with Mr. Brewer and FINALLY felt that someone was on my side! This was a very long and difficult case, but Mr. Brewer stuck by to the end! I can't thank him enough for his absolute professionalism, his dedication to my case, his ethical stand and his heart! We were victorious in the end! I TRULY believe that if I didn't have a lawyer like Mr. Greg Brewer I would not have won my case! He knows the law well and he FIGHTS for his client!!
