Suspended license

license trouble
I had some license issues related to a DUI and Greg helped me get my license re-instated much sooner than I expected. He was very clear, confident and accurate in his directions. I'd definitely recommend him. Thanks! I'd also like to thank his assistant...extremely helpful as well.

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Greg is a seasoned trial attorney. His experience as a prosecutor has given him an edge in representing both plaintiff's in personal injury cases and defendants in criminal matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Greg Lauer on his March, 2011 Federal trial in Ft. Myers, FL where he obtained a $1.2 million jury verdict for an inmate who became paralyzed when the jail didn't provide him with adequate healthcare. Greg worked many hours and fine tuned his intimate knowledge of a very complex area of law in order to obtain this large jury verdict. The way that Greg dedicated himself to obtaining justice for his client was apparent in every aspect of his trial performance. I would recommend anyone with a Civil Rights or personal injury case to consult with Greg Lauer. I am currently working with Greg and I see this kind of dedicaton on a daily basis with each of his clients."
"I have had the opportunity to observe Mr. Lauer in Court as well as work with him on previous cases. As a prosecutor, you knew Greg could be taken at his word. Then, when he went out into private practice, Mr. Lauer was not afraid to take on the medical conditions in the local jail. I was not too surprised to recently learn that Greg is Board Certified in criminal law. It is obvious when speaking with Greg that he has a thorough understanding of the area of criminal law."
