Posted by Ron | July 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Estate Planning

Gregg has handled my wife's and my estate plan trusts and living will requirements since 2006 and has done a great job keeping us abreast of changes in the laws and making recommendations to modify our plans. It is comforting to know someone is looking out for our best interests years after the origi...nal plans were drafted and put in place.

Posted by Ann | July 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Excellent Attorney

Gregg defended me in an estate dispute. From our first phone conversation all the way through to the end, he was respectful and supportive and thoroughly explained the process and what to expect both in time and cost. He was patient and encouraging; particularly through the discovery and deposition... phase. My questions and concerns were answered quickly and his advice was always in my best interest and helpful. I highly recommend him and his team.

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.
