About Gregory

I started practicing law in 1982.   

 

Starting the first day I began practicing law, I’ve been asked:  “What’s your success rate?”  Tough question?  Not really.  My success rate is far above most.  And its all about one thing:  Preparation.  Preparation makes a bad lawyer good, a good lawyer great and a great lawyer greater.  I been the lead attorney on cases that have been in the national news:  United States v. Celani was featured on ABC’s 20/20 and mentioned in the New Yorker magazine; Coleman v. Watt a lawsuit filed in federal court against a city judge who ordered the police to impound a car if the license plate was expired was featured on the Phil Donahue Show.  In State of Arkansas v. Kelvin Meeks was featured on the television magazine Hardcopy.

 

I fight hard for my clients…never too hard, there’s no such thing. For over 30 years, I have battled with law enforcement officers, only to turn around and represent them when they are in trouble.   And I do it within the bounds of the law and in a professional manner.  (Although I might have gone too far when I was quoted in the newspaper as saying, “There’s a criminal element in the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department”.  And then there was the time I represented the first female sergeant with the North Little Rock Police Department. She was charged with perjury and that was later dismissed.  Afterwards, when I sued the police department in federal court I was quoted as saying, “She’s gonna own a fleet of police cars when this is over.”).

Review Gregory Bryant

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Posted by

Greg was very diligent in working for me on my divorce/custody case. He is a hard working, tough, no nonsense attorney who was by my side and had my back throughout the entire divorce proceedings. His services allowed me to come up with very reasonable joint custody while keeping my home and vehicle. I highly recommend him.

My Attorney Experience

Posted by

I was in a jam with a couple charges that I got about a year and a half ago when I hired Mr. Bryant as my attorney. I had 1 Felony charge and 2 Misdemeanor charges. I was worried about this from the beginning and throughout the entire process. Mr. Bryant was very assuring in that I did not need to worry about it at all, until he told me that it was time to worry. That was never something that he told me. By the end of all of the court dates, I ended up with an outcome far greater that I could have ever expected. I highly recommend the use of his services.

Great Personal and Business Attorney

Posted by

I have known and used Greg Bryant for all of my legal needs for over 20 years. He has helped me on numerous occasions not only with my personal needs but with all of my business needs as well. When I went through a tough divorce and child custody fight, Greg not only helped with the legal issues he was always available to explain what I could reasonably expect the outcome to be. I also own a small service business and Greg has help me numerous times with collect of money owed to my business as well as helping me with all aspects of running my small business such as dealing with the city, state, and federal taxing and regulation issues. Over the years Greg has become more than my go to attorney for all of my legal needs he has become a friend. I highly recommend Greg to all of my friends, family, and business associates

Professional and Understanding

Posted by

Mr Bryant was more than I anticipated. He understood my domestic situation. He immediately began working on my case before consultation was even over. He spent extra time and efforts that were not discussed and he did not charge any extra fees. I felt that sets him above most attorneys who don't care about you as an individual but only as a paycheck. He was persistent but in the meanwhile very considerate of all parties. I would recommend very highly

Recommend for Military/Foreign Spouse Divorce

Posted by

This is an update. I had previously hired Greg to handle my military divorce from my foreign national wife. I was overseas and Greg did an excellent job. Now, my ex wife decided to return to her home and needed a special copy of the divorce decree to be recognized by her country. I contacted Greg and he quickly got the needed copy and mailed it. I would recommend Greg for military and foreign spouse divorces. He is an excellent lawyer.

Non Stop

Posted by

If you're looking for a attorney that'll fight for you then you need Greg Bryant. I was in need of a attorney and I contacted Greg Bryant where he took a look a my case and told me to stop worrying and let him get to the bottom of things. I received a call not 1 hour later with information about my case it a confidence builder. Greg was always ready to answer any questions and he would return any calls or text when my nerves was getting the best of me. Greg never stopped working for me weekends and late nights I would get a call with updates. Greg Bryant is a non stop attorney that will get the job done.

Great Attorney

Posted by

I've had a federal case going on for 27 months now and Greg has been amazing through it all. He has went above and beyond anything I could have ever expected. He has always explained everything so I could understand it and he has made these 27 months a lot easier than they might have been without him. He has gotten to know my family and me on a personal level and I can say he truly cares what happens to his clients. He has always been very professional and very honest about everything. I highly recommend Greg Bryant if you need a phenomenal lawyer!!!

Great attorney!

Excellent ability to identify and expose the facts of my case in the face of a hostile, irrational defendant. His research before the trial and behavior in the courtroom disarmed the defendant as she perjured herself. I prevailed in my divorce proceedings because of the outstanding work by Greg Bryant.

Going above and beyond

Posted by

Greg Bryant was a friend before I knew him as an attorney. When I needed help, he went out of his way to set my mind at ease, and assured me that a successful resolution of my situation was possible. Due to a comedy of errors, a charge I thought was behind me came back big time six years later. I thought Monroe County was done with me; the prosecutor thought I'd failed to pay my probation fees. I was seriously afraid they might send me to prison. Greg not only prevented that from happening, he negotiated a deal for my conviction to be expunged, giving me a new start in life. I couldn't be more satisfied with all he did for me.

Cecily Skarda

I endorse this lawyer. I met Greg Bryant in court one morning, which I believe was fairly early in my law practice. He knew my father who was a practicing attorney at the time. Greg had been practicing a while and was always pleasant and very helpful when I would seek his advise or want to discuss cases. He is an extremely smart and very capable lawyer. He works hard for his clients and always demonstrates professionalism and ability. Over the years we have had cases against each other, and have even worked together on a case or two. Greg is always prepared and informed, he knows the law and is no nonsense. He is excellent in the courtroom and always does well for his clients. Greg has been around a long time and he is respected by judges and lawyers statewide. He has always been one of the best in my opinion. He will always have my admiration and respect as an attorney.
