Terrific

Best most honest attorney I have met. Needed a professional to handle both me and my sons defense. Now we are recommending him to friends and family. Thanks Greg.

Very Easy To Talk To!

I hired Gregory in August 2016, recommended to me by my stepfather. I was on my 3rd ticket in 6 months and could not have my license suspended. He helped me understand how the process would work very clearly, while being extremely professional, but never intimidating. It was easy to ask him questions..., (even silly questions) and get the answers I needed. I had a court date set, and he showed up for me. He ended up getting my ticket lowered by about 200 dollars. His prices were really nice compared to the lawyer my friend had for a similar ticket. I appreciate his work and he will be my lawyer in the future!

Fantastic Attorney

Mr Abella is an exceptional Attorney. He took our case at the last minute, treated us with kindness and respect, didn't make outlandish promises, and got the job done! He kept us informed all the time and was very professional but down to earth! He made us feel important! Very knowledgeable about Kan...sas and Missouri laws and able to convey this to the courts. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts and he allowed our family to have a second chance! This was for a probation violation case. Best lawyer hands down!

Abella Law Review

He took care of my ticket fast and easy. He told me what I needed to do; Also, he did what he said he was going to do. I wish they would have half ratings on this so I could give more credit.

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.
