This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Treated me, and talked to me, like a person

A few months ago, I had a (relatively) small civil matter in Wilkes that I needed representation for....hopefully to AVOID going to court! I called several local attorney firms, before I called Brewer & Brewer. The first 2-3 I called, fairly quickly (in so many words) let me know that my case wasn't ..."big enough" to waste their time on. When I called Brewer & Brewer I had to leave a message. Mr. Greg Brewer called me back that afternoon, spent quite a few minutes with me on the phone, and scheduled an appt for me the following week. When I met with Mr. Brewer, he spent the time with me to understand my case, he talked with me as if I was a friend (I wasn't), and he made me feel like I was his most important client (and I'm quite sure I wasn't!). And more importantly my case was settled within a week and a half (without any more of my involvement). I would recommend Greg Brewer to anyone in Wilkes County that has a civil matter they need help with!

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 success...fully 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.

Posted by Christine | January 3, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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.
