Mr. Greene did a great job for me

I went to 4 other lawyers before I went to Mr. Greene. All of the other lawyers told me I should take the plea being offered by the State. I was a passenger in a car that was stopped for speeding and a police dog alerted to drugs. Everybody was arrested and charged. The other lawyers told me to take ...the plea because you can't win a canine case. When I met with John he told me about a case that had just been argued before the US Supreme Court that was similar to mine. He had my case continued several times until the Supreme Court decision came down. He cited that case in my motion to suppress and my case was dismissed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
