Collaborative Divorce

Greg made navigating a divorce much more comfortable. He was always respectful of my perspective and was patient with my questions, concerns and sporadic emotions during this difficult time. He made sure I understood all aspects of the journey, and had my best interests in the forefront at all time...s. I knew I could trust his expertise and all recommendations provided. He worked hard to make the collaborative process work for me and I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family. I had the most solid representation I could have!

Outstanding During and After

Greg was outstanding during the process and after. Setting expectations, coaching thru the difficult and potential impasses, and guiding steadily to a conclusion - with the least drama possible. Then has provided a steady source of info and support well after the conclusion when I had a question. Cou...ldn't have been better at both the hard side/the law and the soft side of navigating a rocky waterway.

greg was a lifesaver ...

i was in a very difficult situation and feeling very hopeless. because my ex-husband was "high profile," i couldn't find an attorney who was willing to really figure out how to stand behind me and support me. greg was my third attorney and had five weeks before the final hearing to get caught up and ...help me to the finish line. he was amazing ... not only in his "bedside manner," but also the way he attacked the case and went to work. i felt completely heard, understood, and validated by greg. he worked hard to understand my biggest concerns and did everything possible to make sure i was 100% happy with the outcome. i really don't know how i would've gotten through it without his expertise and help.

Sucessful collaborative divorce

Greg helped me successfully navigate a collaborative divorce process, resulting in a stable resolution for me and my children. Greg was very good about communicating via phone, email and in person. I felt in control of the process, and had the information I needed to make decisions. I would recommend... Greg to anyone going through a similar process.
