About Gregory
Biography
I have practiced law for nearly 20 years. I am licensed in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. The majority of my practice deals with criminal defense with a focus on drunk driving defense.
I handle cases from the first time offender to serious felony cases. I emphasize working with the client to help them understanding the law and how it applies to their situation.
I aggressively fight to protect my clients rights and privileges. I will defend my clients through a trial if necessary.
