B ST Divorce Lawyer

Gregg was my guiding light through a very difficult, tenuous and scary time, my divorce. He helped navigate all the sink holes and was my rock in maintenance negotiations. Then, three years later, my ex threatened to enact a massive reduction in my alimony. Gregg presented case law and built my ...case for the best outcome, financially. Not only is my my lawyer -whom I recommend, always but he is my friend.

Beyond an Amazing Attorney

Gregg is beyond amazing, intelligent, and one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known. I never expected an attorney would work the hours Gregg did to ensure my divorce went the best it could. My situation seemed easy at the beginning, but my spouse made everything extremely difficult and... Gregg made sure to walk me through everything. The times we had hearings Gregg always was prepared, and made sure I was prepared with multiple Zoom meetings. He then astounded me during the hearings by being able to cite court cases off the top of his head to object to the other side, or prove a point. The immense knowledge he has at the drop of a hat is truly awe-inspiring! He made me feel confident during hearings as well and made me so proud to have chosen such an amazing attorney who would shock anyone with his intelligence. As I stated above Gregg worked beyond the normal business hours at times to ensure any questions or concerns were taken care of and to make sure court orders, preparation for court etc was done correctly. I don't believe many people would do that, and the fact that he made sure that we were prepared for court with multiple Zoom meetings that took up even more of his time was a blessing. I deferred to Gregg's judgment on many things as I didn't have the ability to make decisions on my own very well, and what made a huge difference for me is how he treated me. I spent 20 years being silenced and Gregg never did that; he actually made sure to listen to what I said and made a point to make sure my voice was heard. This was something that left me in tears because I hadn't experienced that in so long and I appreciated that more than I could ever express in words. Gregg was so competent about divorce case law that he almost predicted the outcome of every court order, hearing and court ruling before it ever happened. That left me amazed and further instilled in me that I made the correct decision on choosing Gregg. Gregg was so meticulous about every single letter, court order etc that he made sure to do almost everything on his own, which was shocking to me. Most attorney's defer to their legal assistant with that type of work but Gregg's meticulous nature overruled that. When I did work with his legal assistant (Christine) she was just as compassionate and effective as Gregg was. While the divorce process was beyond stressful and scary Gregg made sure to be incredible at every juncture to inform me of the possible outcomes and options. There aren't many people in life these days that make a difference and major impact on others, yet Gregg did. I truly think Gregg is one of a kind and the world is a better place because of him and his amazing help. Any person who has to go through a divorce case would be in the best hands with Gregg, and I will never say otherwise. At the end of my case I considered Gregg as family since he treated me more kindly than any other professional I have ever come to known. He made me believe there is good in this world, and that he is rare gem of an attorney that will leave anyone in the best hands. Thank you Gregg for everything; I will never forget you, and never forget how amazing you are!

Great Attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Gregg and his team for a premarital agreement and it went perfectly well. Gregg’s expertise is exactly what I needed. He knows of items to put in there that I would have never thought of. Thank you Gregg and you team for all of your knowledge.

Top Notch Divorce Attorney

It's with pleasure that I write this review. I've been working with Gregg Greenstein since February 2018. My divorce case touched all aspects of my life-family, finances, retirement, career, etc. Gregg protected my interests. He was knowledgeable of family law in Colorado and experienced through...out it all. Gregg demonstrates a sincere interest in helping me with my case. He was candid and blunt about what to expect and put things plainly so that I can make the best possible decision for my situation. The divorce process itself was incredibly overwhelming, and emotional Gregg was able to analyze what I told him and had excellent listening skills. He was able to persuade me to follow his advice and convince the opposition to negotiate a resolution. He could read people and figure out the best approach to take when making his points. Whenever I had a question or concern, he always addressed it in a timely and thorough manner. I never felt like I was ignored or that Gregg was too busy for my case. He helped me understand the process. He explained what he thought our course of action was and what was needed to execute it. He had a great support staff and other attorneys available to prepare my case. Brittaney McGinnis was a vital part of Greggs team and help numerous times throughout the divorce. His legal Christine Hickey was the best. Without reservation, I highly recommend Gregg Greenstein and his team. They were true professionals in handling my divorce. Gregg saved me the extra money many times by not having to prepare and go to trial. Thank you, Gregg and everyone on your team! In 6 months my divorce was finalized.

Extremely knowledgeable, fair, and professional

Gregg Greenstein and Sylvia Brownfield have worked on numerous family law issues with us for around two years. We found their approach to be remarkably professional, and specifically found that their 'tolerance threshold' (the point at which negotiation turns to litigation) was carefully balanced and... well-informed. We feel that their empathetic approach helped us to avoid unnecessary fees, but that their ability to turn to swift action was just as important in resolving our case. We are very grateful to both attorneys, and to Christine Hickey, for their team efforts and for helping us through some difficult situations with candid and accurate advice. We recommend the firm highly.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Greenstein is a "Lawyers Lawyer'. That is to say he takes his Oath of Admission to the practice very seriously. He treats everyone with civility and respect. Gregg has appeared on Dr. Phil's Television show as an expert Family Law practioneer. his knowledge of the law and it's technical underpinnings is second to none. However, he is always anxious to utilize common sense, bypass expensive legal proceedures and craft an agreement that is fair to each side. Speaking as opposing counsel, we had several disagreements concerning both the Law as it applied to our case, and the underlying facts. Gregg was quick to utilize problem solving techniques and get past our points of contention. In my cases opposing Lawyer Greenstein, my clients were happy with the results of my representation and I bellieve that his client's were also pleased with the final result of our efforts. In the Family Law Practice Arena, this is the ultimate test of both attorney's skill and dilligence."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"During the last 10 years, I have worked with Gregg on many cases in which we had clients in common who were facing both criminal case issues and divorce/custody issues. I have found Gregg to be a top shelf attorney. He is very conscientous, extremely detail oriented and always thoroughly prepared on his cases. He is very well versed in the case law and great in the courtroom as well. With his divorce talk show career and singing career background as evidence, Gregg is really a well rounded, and well regarded, attorney. Would definitely recommend Gregg to anyone dealing with divorce or child custody related issues."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer, Gregg Greestein, because he was not only professional, ethical, and cooperative, but very gentlemanly and in family law that is something I have found rarely in my short time practicing law. While in a contested grandparents visitation matter his lawyering skills, knowledge, and cooperation led both parties to an amicable resolution that will be beneficial for all parties involved. As a young lawyer it has been very helpful to have the opportunity to work and learn from another lawyer like Mr. Greenstein."
