Hired for ssd case. Ssd is a long process and my attorney was always there to answer all my questions. Thankfully I was approved after my trial. Glad I hired mr. starkey.

He did a great job with my divorce case. Listened to all my concerns and made them known. Always made sure I was updated on my case.

Buyer Beware!

I hired Greg based on his commercials I saw on TV. I believed he was an advocate for men's and fathers rights. He proved to be to the total opposite. Greg failed to fight for me. He showed up late to my court dates or did not show at all. He dealt with my divorce case with a slack hand but and allowe...d my ex-wife's attorney to make all the decisions. Not only that but I could never get in contact with him. He was always out the office. When I had questions, he legal clerk tried to answer them whose advice I did not pay for! I would not recommend Greg to anyone who truly cares about getting their divorce settled. This man will take your money and do little to nothing to help you in your case. Buyer Beware!

Bankruptcy

I met with Greg starkey in April 2014 for about 20minites. He explained bankruptcy to me, I gave him my paperwork. He informed me that once I paid half the fees he would start filing my bankruptcy. I paid $800 of the $1200. He then told me I had to pay in full before anything was started. nothi g was... ever filed. I requested my $800 back, it took over 2 months and multiple emails for him to tell me he would refund 'part' of my money. He gave me $400 back and claimed the other went toward legal representation. When I asked him what 'representation' Bc he had done nothing.... he claimed he sent me letter and made phone calls to me and that he had started the filing process. Which he had done NONE of those. Waiting for an explanation and proof of these letters, calls, and filing.

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.
