    Review Gregory Stokes

    Great Attorney!

    Posted by

    Before I met Mr. Stokes I had worked with other attorneys, but none compared to him. I was referred to Greg by one of my friends and after he represented me for my auto accident, I have only used him since. Greg really fights for you and gets you what you deserve! Everyone at his office cares for you as a person and they do not look at you as just another case. They want to make sure you have received enough treatment and that you are truly feeling better. They keep you updated and guide you through the process. I strongly recommend Greg Stokes to anyone that needs an attorney.

    Good friend and excellent lawyer

    Relationship: Worked for lawyer

    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.

    Relationship: Other

    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.

    Ronald Burdge, Personal injury Attorney on Jul 9, 2012
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Attorney Stokes is remarkable. A very impressive track record in court, great answers to Avvo.com questions, publications to his credit, recognition by his peers for his excellence, client praise, and much more. Frankly, if you have a personal injury question, he is your answer. If his office is anywhere near you and you need help with a personal injury case, hire him. I endorse him and highly recommend him to you.

    Thomas Holder, Brain injury Attorney on Jul 9, 2012
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I have known Greg Stokes for many years. I first met him when we attended a Brain Injury Seminar together in Washington, D.C. That continues to be a major area of interest for him and he is very knowledgeable in that area of law. It is my pleasure to endorse him.
