Repeat Offender, Helped Tremendously

I had previous offences for the same misdemeanor level crime. Mr. Gregory helped me immensely and for a very fair and modest price. I still have a clean record thanks to him. I would recommend his skills to anyone in the Marquette area. He has become well respected and well recognized in the area and... court system and will truly do his best to assist you in any way possible. He contacts you accordingly and on time, knows what he's doing, and won't let you down.

Knowledgeable and Extremely Helpful Employment Lawyer

Mr. Gregory's reputation as an aggressive trial lawyer and talented employment lawyer are well-known in the U.P. I consulted with Mr. Gregory regarding my wrongful termination from employment because of my age after more than 30 years of working for the same employer. Mr. Gregory told me exactly what... I needed to do and steered me in the right direction with regard to the severance package that was being offered, and my civil rights. Thank you, Mr. Gregory!

Excellent Corporate/Contracts Counsel

My company retained Attorney Gregory to assist in-house counsel with negotiating a number of employment contracts and purchase agreements. Attorney Gregory was also retained to litigate existing contract disputes and new disputes, as they arose. Attorney Gregory negotiated our contracts and agreement...s very effectively, in fact, so effectively that no new litigation has arisen. With regard to litigation that pre-existed Attorney Gregory's retainer, Attorney Gregory has defended the company flawlessly.

Beyond Capable

I hired Attorney Gregory to represent me in my divorce. My ex-husband, through his attorney, demanded spousal support that I couldn't afford to pay because I was carrying all of the marital debt. Mr. Gregory entered the case and took over, making it clear that my ex wasn't going to recover any spousa...l support; and he didn't. Attorney Gregory is a very direct and effective communicator who knows the law and applied it very effectively in defense of my interests.

Knowledgeable, Effective, and Reliablr

I hired Mr. Gregory to represent my daughter in a child custody case. He explained to us exactly what we had to do to accomplish my daughter's goal of primary physical custody of my grandson. Everything worked out as planned. Mr. Gregory is impressive and reassuring in the courtroom.

Avvo Rating

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.
