Greg, has been working with our family on and off since 1980

Greg has been working my husband and I on and off since 1980. Answer my calls always returns them when he has answers to share. He has taken on criminal cases, suspension. of DL- As I was 22 and not very nice at times he was always pleasant with me. He handled our adoption of our son. He handled m...y mother's trust and worked on our wills. Granted he was not always available but, You have to realize you are not his only Client. He Faces challenges everyday. Everyone makes mistakes no matter what profession you are in. Always wilking to give advice. I appreciate his guidance and friendship. Michele & David

Not Good

Paid him 500 dollars to check on the status of our son's parole review. Talk with him only twice since initial contact and still have not heard from him on what he did for us. Just threw away our $500.00 dollars. He will not return our calls to him.

Not even sure he exists!?!

He was Court appointed so I get that he would not go 110% to help defend my friend but what he has done (absolutely nothing) miss a couple court dates, seen his client twice in 7 months he has been in jail, and not return any not one of his phone nor his concerned family members calls not once! Never... gave him any information requested such as court dates and what the charges even are that stuck. We called the district attorney and judges bailiff to have him removed or replaced with no luck . I can’t believe for someone that could be facing up to 20 years in prison (if the charges are even what we think they are we don’t know!) has their life in an “attorney’s hands” and this is what the state of Nebraska provided. It’s sickening and why he is still employed as an “attorney “ is outrageous and unlawful in my opinion. If you get this man as a court appointed please hire a private attorney some way or somehow or you out experience could be the same. And it is just not right . Very sad.

Better off using a Public Defender

Horrible experience with Greg. He doesn’t listen and is hard to get ahold of. He doesn’t try hard to get charges dropped or plea them down to a lesser offense. He waits until last minute on everything. If you want to waste money on an attorney that won’t do anything more than a public defender will t...hen hire Greg. My biggest regret was hiring him!

Great guy!!

Greg has been very good for me. He is defending me in a crimal case as well as my divorce and custody. He was willing to see me right away without money first. He is also more affordable than other attorney's. Will return calls on nights and weekends too.
