Outstanding

I have never been in trouble with the law in my life. I went out with friends to celebrate one night and things got out of hand. I had a lapse in judgement and got into a physical altercation with the bouncer. I had a few serious charges against me. I have a a lot going on for me with graduate sc...hool, a great future and a great family. Greg fought really hard for me and always kept me up to date every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable and highly professional. He was able to give me a second chance and now I can continue on with my life without fear of my future being over. Thank you Greg! I'll highly recommend you to everyone needing legal help.

Greg Watt representation

My son, a military hero in my eyes with a bronze star and numerous commendations, had a case that Mr. Watt handled. And Mr. Watt went the extra step and handled this case as though it was personal to him. And frankly I think it was. When he saw the honors and service my son has given to this coun...try he made sure to honor my son with top representation. A friend of our military. Thank you Mr. Watt.

Huge win!

Ok so Greg did an outstanding job on my case! We just finished up this morning after 5 or so months. --Lets start at the beginning I didn't even know I had a warrant out for my arrest until I got what looked like junk mail in mail box one day. I through it to the side not thinking anything of it. T...he letter was from a local bail bonding company stating I should call them to avoid spending any time in custody. After I finished reading the other mail I started looking at the letter from the bond company and decided I would google the information and see if it returned anything. To my surprise I did in fact have a warrant issued for a rather ignorant charge of riverboat gambling infraction. And was being charged as a Class D felony. In my line of work that is just extremely scary and I could lose my job and clearances in a split second. I called the bond company and asked them what their thoughts were on it and had some validity issues I wanted to get cleared. They recommended I call a lawyer, like yesterday. After doing some searching online, reading reviews, and trying to find a criminal defense lawyer I came across Gregs website. Very inviting, and a ton of information on his page. It was a Saturday evening approximately 8pm'ish and I called the number on the website thinking I was going to leave a message wait a few days and I "may" hear back from someone. Not at all, Greg picked up the phone as the number on the site rings directly to his cell. Caught me off guard and after we spoke for a little while I decided to retain his services. We met the following Monday I brought some personal info with me (job, education proof, pay stubs, etc...) and we got to work trying to schedule a time to turn my self in, post the $5k bond, and get the process started in hopes of a dismissal. BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING KNOWN-- The entire process Greg doesn't beat around the bush he will shoot ya pretty straight -- sometimes extremely blunt, but in these situations you can't leave any room for guessing -- that I really appreciated don't tell me thinks like "umm well I don't know" or "lets see how this plays out" he was really good about referencing all the info the prosecutor had relayed to him and back and forth. OK - so back to the rest. We did this little dance back and forth the last couple of months working up plea offers and proving that my background was clear, and that this was a stupid charge and over a dumb night of drinking way to much and gambling (no room for error there right?) -- yeah breeding ground for destruction. Needless to say at the end Greg totally came through for me. We tried for a dismissal, however we didn't get quite there. We did get the D felony reduced to a B level misdemeanor, suspended sentencing (meaning that at the end of probation the charge falls off and there is NO CONVICTION. I got some community service hours and some probation time. All of which is much better than having some power tripped up deputy sheriff or jailor delivering me meals to a cell. Greg is a very stand up dude, may come with a pretty price tag, but for me the cost of his services vs the cost of what I stood to lose was no question. Not to mention he did a great job working with me on a payment plan. All around good guy and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need. Thanks Greg - A win in my book!

You get what you pay for.

After reading numerous positive reviews, I reached out to Greg along with several other KC area attorneys to resolve a DUI. The level of professionalism, knowledge and empathy exhibited by Greg in just our first meeting was unmatched by any other attorney I initially met with, and knew right away tha...t I would be in the best hands with Greg as my representation. I am so happy that I followed that instinct, because it was exactly the case. Not having been in trouble with the law before, the initial situation I was in was a nightmare. Greg not only alleviated my fears and anxiety by explaining in full detail his method for going about the case, but also showed so much compassion for me as a person and reminded me that I am not a bad person, I just made a poor choice. The support I received from Greg helped me immensely through a difficult time and was far beyond the type of support I ever expected to receive from an attorney. Throughout our time together on my case, Greg never over promised or set unreasonable expectations. He was very pragmatic and explained his rationale for his angles thoroughly, but always kept the conversation open to allow me to guide where I wanted my case to go. The end result was far better than anything I expected, and I felt like I had high expectations considering the situations surrounding my case. As a young professional, Greg protected my future and I am so thankful that I decided to hire him. He is a little pricey, but I felt like his fees were reasonable to begin with and post-case, I feel like I got an incredible deal. Look no further!

We so appreciated his prompt work and support. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. Greg listened and was always responsive... to our emails and calls. Thank you Thank you!! I would definitely recommend Greg Watt to defend your case no matter how big or small he will go to bat for you.
