Highly recommended for difficult divorce

I hired Greg as my attorney in a highly contentious post-marital settlement case involving custody issues, substance abuse issues and multiple stakeholders including GALs. He helped me resolve my situation with a combination of strong advocacy, keen understanding of the psychological and legal issues... at hand, and a deep awareness of the complex relationships amongst the attorneys and others involved. Greg is a straight shooter, highly responsive and extremely skilled. I recommend him highly.

Fantastic Advocate

Greg is a smart, caring and effective attorney. I have been very pleased working with Greg and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an advocate during a very difficult time.

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.
