After graduating from Washburn University School of Law in 2000, Greg returned to Hays to practice. His many practice areas include family law, criminal defense, and business and contract law.

He has been appointed to the Northwest Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority Board and to the Northwest Kansas Community Corrections board from the city of Hays.

Gregory Allen Schwartz's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Greg for 15 years and have had dozens of cases with him. Most lawyers are busy, and Greg is no exception, but when I need to discuss a case with Greg he is always available. Greg comes to court prepared to try his case, and is well versed in the facts and the law. Greg understands both the law and procedure, and does not make unreasonable demands, or propose settlements that have no merit. Once Greg and I discuss a case and come to an agreement I know I can count on that agreement to remain as stated, and that no last minute changes or surprises will come up. Greg and I often disagree on a point of law or a piece of evidence, but that disagreement never turns personal. In all cases I have had with Greg I have found him to be very competent and professional from the beginning to the end. I appreciate trying cases with Greg because it is obvious that he enjoys what he does."
"Greg is a fine litigator. He prepares well and has a good feel for the courtroom. I have referred clients to him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Although Greg and I are usually on opposite sides, I consider him a friend, as well as a colleague. Greg fights for his clients, while at the same time giving them sound advice. I may not always agree with Greg, but I always respect him. He knows the law and how it applies to his cases. You will be well served to have Greg Schwartz as your attorney."
