About Gregory
Biography
I have handled a wide variety of cases over the years, including car wreck, death cases, divorce and criminal defense.
I was born and raised in Decatur. After practicing law for 17 years, I decided to give back to my community and, as a result, I ran for city council.
I was elected with 80% of the vote and, then, was elected city council president. During the next 4 years, the City of Decatur experienced unprecedent growth and progress, even though we experienced a severe economic downturn.
For the past 3 years, I have served as a staff member of a nationally reknown trial lawyer's college, a non-profit, volunteering my time to help other attorneys.
I have tried approximately 20 jury trials and I served as the lead counsel in a capital murder case that resulted in an acquital, said to be the first in the history of Morgan County. I was 30 years old at the time.
