Not Only a Poor Lawyer but also Not a Good Man

I hired Mr. Skordas after hearing some false advertising say how great of an attorney he was. All he did was pocket my money and never hardly lifted a finger to do what he was paid to do. It was almost impossible to get 15 minutes of his time and after only talking to his just graduated attorneys in ...training I was scared that Skordas didn’t even understand my case. After trying several times he actually met with me and because I have received so little attention I over explained my case trying to make sure he was up to speed. After on 5 or 6 minutes of me explaining what I knew that would help him he actually told me I talked to much. I learned quickly that he is only interested in hearing his own voice. I should have just represented myself because he did absolutely nothing for me. If your case is going to draw media attention and cameras he will probably treat you much better because the man loves the spotlight. 1/4 Star Rating for Mr. Skrodome! It’s important to note that I would not spend all this time writing this review if it wasn’t true.

Worse attorney ever and a liar

I hired Greg and his firm. Greg took my case and lied to me about my options in the case. He pronounced me guilty without even reviewing the points In my case that proved my innocence. He finally boxed me in to accept a plea deal for doing nothing wrong. I was screwed over by this man and his firm. H...e lied to my face and misled me into accepting a deal that has caused me major financial losses and ruined my reputation when all facts of what transpired in my case was all publicly available to show that I was innocent. Sad thing is that I was actually a victim of just being a good person to greedy people who just wanted to destroy my company and take advantage of me. Now I sit with a horrible plea deal that has destroyed me. Never hire him or his firm.

Didn't even show up for sentencing.

This guy is terrible. He lied to me and to my family. Most of his lies were told to allow him to do the least amount of work possible. He talked me into a plea deal that I shouldn't have taken, and then didn't even show up for my sentencing. The judge was furious, and the next day when we reconvened,... Greg didn't say a single thing in representing me, but instead groveled to the judge for his failure to show up. I was given the heaviest possible penalty, far beyond the recommendation of AP&P. He may give you some attention if you are a high profile case, but don't bet on him. He just doesn't care.

Do not waste your money here

Without a doubt the worst lawyer I have ever used. Paid him thousands of dollars and could not even hardly get a phone call or any contact back with questions. I was living 6 hours away at the time and called numerous times and left numerous voice mails and still never got any calls back, so finally ...I drove 6 hours to talk to him in person and come to find out he had done nothing and had no news. I wish I would have lit 15 thousand dollars in fire instead of given it to Gregory Skordas to furnish his expensive downtown salt lake office. Not to mention I paid 15 grand and he gave me one of his intern lawyers to work on my case because he was "busy". PLEEEEEEASEEEE do yourself a favor and don't waste a dime of your money here. I wish there was a way you could give them zero stars because in all honesty they do not even deserve one star.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
