Phenomenal Lawyer

Greg is no exception to an excellent lawyer. The service and client care that I received is top notch. Greg is professional, always available for questions, and most importantly gets your case done with ease. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone seeking a lawyer that goes above and beyond all ex...pectations.

EXCELLENT attorney

Greg is an amazing attorney. I was lucky to have him represent me. He is extremely knowledgeable of OVI laws and multiple Courts. He is very clear about what you are up against and explaining what your next step is going to be. He does not sugar coat anything, but is compassionate at the same time.... I could not be any happier with my experience with him and the outcome of my case. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not having him represent you.

BEST OVI Attorney

First off, Greg is an amazing person and incredibly intelligent guy. He did not sugar coat my case. Greg was clear and concise about the strength and weakness of my OVI. The first day in court I knew that he was going to do everything he could to make sure I received the best possible outcome. He war...ned me it would be a lengthy process, it went 5 1/2 months, multiple court appearances, with small victories every time. If you have an OVI, hire him...do not go to someone else. This was my second OVI, due to Annie's law of a ten year look back I was facing multiple charges. The outcome was better than I ever expected and I am able to move on with my life. The dedication he has to his job is definitely a step above so many successful people I've met in my life. Thank you Greg

AMAZING OVI LAWYER!!!

Greg is an amazing lawyer for an OVI case. He is familiar with how different courts handle cases, pays attention to detail, files things on time, and explains exactly what the strengths and weaknesses are in your case. If you have an OVI hire Greg Gentile.

One of the best OVI attorneys in my book!

Greg has represented me twice now, once in Cleveland for a probation violation and in Lakewood for driving with an OVI suspension. Honestly, I don't know how he does it because, in Cleveland I went in court for a probation violation but ended up getting off probation. In Lakewood, I was shocked when... the judge gave me a $100 fine plus court feees and released my car the same day from impound. I call him the miracle worker. Greg didn't give me any gaurantees, like he put "I don't have a crystal ball" but he did promise me one thing, that he will do his best to make sure we get the best outcome. Which is exactly what he did. He is an awesome attorney and just a stand up guy in general. I would hire him again any day!
