Loyal Customer

Greg and his team handled every single thing in regard to my divorce several years ago with professionalism and respect. From the time I paid the retainer until the final decree, there were no issues. I'm currently using him again for a separate support concern. Highly Recommend.

Ch. 7 Bankruptcy

Greg handled my chapter 7. I didn't realize how easy the process was until i went through it with him. His office really helped me out with getting my financials in shape.

Men’s lawyer

This firm handled my divorce case. We had a major custody dispute and I was impressed how it was handled. We ended up settling the case and I couldn’t say enough good things about this firm.

Poor representation

I hired this lawyer to represent me in a child support modification case. I sent a $2000.00 retainer and was charged for every Email and phone call regardless of context. I traveled from northern Michigan to Alabama to attend the hearing. At about 9pm the night before the hearing I was contacted by a... lawyer I had never spoken to before and whom knew nothing about my case. I had to try to explain everything to him as this was a somewhat complicated situation due to one of my adult children having a disability. The hearing was ultimately postponed for a few months and nothing was resolved. I was then told that not only had my retainer been used up but I owed hundreds of dollars. I feel cheated and would advise anyone thinking of hiring them to look elsewhere for someone that actually cares about their clients needs and takes some time to explain things. I had very little communication at all and I was afraid to ask questions due to the ridiculous fees for Emails and phone calls. I would be happy to provide the invoices I received to verify my statements are true.

Tim, as you stated, you paid our office a retainer and you received all of the invoices. As explained in the beginning of the case, you are billed monthly for any work completed on the case, including phone calls/ emails, as this is billing for attorney time. Also, you live out of state and were not able to come into our office to speak further about your case. Moreover, as you stated, this was somewhat of a complicated situation, which goes to why your original retainer was exceeded. At your hearing for child support arrearage, we came to an agreement that kept you from being incarcerated. It wasn't until our office contacted you in regards to your outstanding balance that this review was posted.

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.
