Simply put, Greg Stokes is one of the best personal injury and wrongful death lawyers in the state of Georgia. I have known Greg for years and have worked with him on numerous occasions. His insight as to how to best represent his clients and his execution of that insight is unmatched. Accordingly, his recoveries for those injured and the families of those killed are the best they can be. I don't think I know of a lawyer with more passion and energy for what he does. I would highly recommend Greg without qualification.

I endorse this lawyer. I have known Greg Stokes for many years as a Georgia Trial Lawyer. In fact, he hired me as a law clerk when I was a law student and he was an up and coming attorney. We have worked together and over the years have enjoyed "sharing notes" on how to better represent our clients and run our respective offices. Greg is one of the finest lawyers and people I know. He's zealous in representing his clients and seems to always go the extra mile for them. I highly recommend Greg as a lawyer.
