Highly Recommended

Bo represented me in pursuing a modification to an inadequate visitation schedule with my children and I would not hesitate to call upon him again. If you're looking for an experienced attorney with integrity, one who will be well prepared and is surrounded by an excellent supporting cast, you should... definitely consider giving him a call.

Good experience with Bo

Bo represented me in my divorce a couple of years ago. He did a great job with the paperwork and documenting the provisions of the decree, and in otherwise dealing with opposing counsel. He was also very creative and insightful on the tax ramifications of 401k withdrawal, and provided excellent insig...ht and documentation on that.

Excellence in difficult matters

Thoughtful, attentive, responsive, thorough, and accessible. Bo is of the highest order. He ushered me through the most difficult circumstance my life has faced with professionalism, integrity and always steps ahead of the opposition. MP

Fantastic attorney! Highly recommend!

I hired Mr. Gregg to handle my divorce in late 2014 and I couldn't be more pleased with the services he provided. Not only is he a very experienced and knowledgeable attorney, he possesses the rare ability to explain the legal jargon and process in such a way that it was easily understood. Mr. Greg...g went out of his way to lessen the stress of the situation and craft a "win-win" situation for everyone involved. Not once, did I feel like he viewed my case as an "income stream". He always took whatever time was needed to listen to my goals with the process and to achieve them. He continually delivered on his commitments in a timely manner and made me feel as if I were his most important client. I wouldn't hesitate for one second to recommend Mr. Gregg to my closest friends and family.

"Before I met Bo, I asked several attorneys about their experiences with him. Every single attorney I asked spoke highly of his qualifications and reputation for thorough preparation. And, after meeting Bo, it was clear why he was held in such high regard. Not only is Bo's knowledge of the law, professionalism and dedication to his practice beneficial to his clients, it is also beneficial to the legal profession as a whole . I endorse this lawyer."

"Bo and I are contemporaries. Back when I was getting started, I would happily take the cases he was too busy to work. Bo knows the law, loves his family, loves his work and is considered one of the top shelf attorneys in Mississippi who specializes in family law."

  • 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.
