Hire him

Greg Tennant is an outstanding attorney. He represented my husband during an extremely stressful and serious situation, and from the beginning, he was knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and truly... fought for my husband. Thanks to his hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband’s sexual assault case was dismissed. That outcome changed our lives, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did for our family. If you are looking for an attorney who is experienced, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Greg Tennant.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEYl l

If I was asked to describe in one word how Mr.. Tennant handled our case would be TACTFUL. Mr. Tennant made sure that we understood every aspect of the charges we were faced with and the choices we had. He was ALWAYS available to answer any question we threw at him. Mr. Tennant is also VERY familiar ...with and knows how to navigate through the court systems and ALL THE LINGO that comes with it. I love the compassionate he showed overall for our situation. Mr. Tennant took our case and finished it in 6 months which resulted with a NO BILL which means the grand jury REFUSED to indict.

Self Employed

My experience with George Tennant was Awesome !! Mr. Tennant's professionalism and willingness to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation was nothing short of impeccable. Mr. Tennant was very straight forward and honest about possible outcomes and provided with various scenarios of my part...icular case. All the while Mr. Tennant kept me in the loop about every aspect of my case. He's very easy to communicate with and articulates very well. Mr. Tennant made my overall experience less frightening, which was definitely something I needed. I would and have strongly recommended him to family and friends.
