Gary Green

I hired Gary Green to represent myself and my son who was severely injured by a repeat DWI offender. I was made aware that Gary Green donates to and speaks at MADD events. I thought that this might indicate an expertise in personal injury cases related to DWI, however, my experience did not bear this... out, I would not recommend his firm to anyone with a personal injury case. I felt very soon after signing a contract that he was not the right legal advocate for my son. I felt that the case was being handled in a manner relative to a quick settlement. I had been very clear in a meeting (with witnesses) that I did not need an attorney who simply stepped in to collect an insurance settlement, I wanted an advocate who would look out for the best interests of my son and his future and work hard at holding all involved responsible. In my very first meeting with Gary Green directly (not the attorney I originally spoke with) I was strongly encouraged to agree to a very weak offer and he made very sympathetic statements about the offender. I was told that basically even if a better settlement was reached at trial we would not be able to collect. When I told him during that same meeting that I would prefer to find someone else to represent my son he responded by telling me he would exercise his rights according to the contract and seek his compensation out of any settlement reached by another attorney. My son was still in the hospital in a coma with traumatic brain injuries at the time of this conversation. I remember thinking that he obviously did not have my son's best interest in mind. I was so overwhelmed and scared for my son. I agreed after a second meeting to not fire Gary Green. I deeply regret not doing so. Communication with attorneys was poor. Especially after the settlement was reached. The only time I was called regularly by Gary was just before the trial date. He was recommending settlement. Negotiation of settlement terms appeared nearly non-existent. I was presented the weak offer at the meeting soon after signing the contract (which was less than the hospital bills) and one just before the trial was set to begin (which didn't include any restitution at all from the person who hit my son). I was appalled. Instead of discussing other terms I was told to make a list of ten terms and bring it back. The three I listed were quickly agreed to (included was restitution from the driver, not included was any form of compensation for me. Gary had discouraged it). I felt that I was being asked to do things I expected the attorneys to do. I expected them to work diligently with my sons unique case in mind (know the details of his case), that they should be aware of future concerns I could not and did not imagine at that time but are common for families after such a life changing tragedy. I did the majority of the calling to get information from the attorneys. Often my calls were not returned. My attorneys showed up to court without important documents which I then provided to them from my own file on several occasions in front of the judge. They could not answer basic question about the case for the judge and had no notes with them as the transcripts would show. Gary Green sent me an e-mail asking me to write my own direct examination questions as the trial date approached. My son was in a coma for several months and was cared for at home after being released, still in a coma. No one should have an experience like this at such a vulnerable time. As I said, I would never recommend Gary Green.

I trusted Gary Green to handle a case for me where I was seriously injured. The case involved a driver using a cell phone. I couldn’t have been more pleased with Gary’s high degree of professionalism. He handled everything and made it easier for me to try and put my life back together. I highly recom...mend this attorney. He’s smart, experienced and compassionate.

I was in a car accident that resulted in my patella being shattered and having surgery done. The other driver was at fault and her insurance information turned out to not be correct, so I went to Law Office of Gary Green to obtain help in making sure that my medical claims were paid by the other driv...er. I wasn't looking to make money on the wreck, I just wanted my medical bills paid. I was immediately contacted by an attorney and he explained how the process worked. They contacted the lady who had hit me and obtained her correct insurance information. She had been a former client and they immediately made me aware of this and explained that it would not affect how they handled my case. As I received medical claims, I faxed them to the office and a letter was sent out to explain that the case was being handled by the law firm and and I received no other bills. I was updated constantly on what was being done and any responses from the insurance company. I was called every few weeks asking how I was and how my treatment was going. I never felt left out of the loop. As soon as my doctor released me, the firm aggressively worked to have the case settled. All of my medical bills were paid and I received a little additional money. The lady was under insured so the firm contacted my insurance to balance out what I would have received if the lady had been properly insured. I could not have been happier with the service I received. The attorneys and staff that I worked with were courteous, knowledgeable and seemed to really care about me as a client.
