"I met Hank through his participation with the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan. He is an experienced, talented criminal defense attorney with an incredible amount of knowledge in that area of the law. Hank is an attorney who is willing to fight for his clients, and has the skills and talent to take cases to trial and win. I would recommend Hank Greenwood to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney."

"Did you know that Henry ("Hank") Greenwood has been trying cases since the late 1960's? As a young lawyer myself, I can certainly tell you that experience is the only thing that lawyers can count on to get them through the multitude of unexpected challenges that come up in court. And there's only one way to get experience - time and effort. Hank has experience, and he is a fighter, too. The legal profession is full of people who are great actors who would have you thinking that they are certain when they haven't got a clue. The problem with that is, people's lives hang in the balance. Let me tell you, when Hank knows he's right, nobody, no prosecutor, no judge, nobody, is going to tell him otherwise. Always respectful and courteous, nevertheless, Hank doesn't get bullied. From the day he started trying cases back in the sixties, to all the famous murder cases he's tried in the Motor City, to the cases he tried in Canada, to the present time, you simply can't ask for better!"
