This man is a joke!

I had absolutely disgraceful charges that were 100% false, like Kidnapping, witness tampering... the whole kit and caboodle... it was a “TV WORTH” case and still this joke didn’t show up. The $50k I gave him definitely helped his family lol. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN EVER!!!! HES A CON ARTIST!!!!!! Not ev...en worth the amount of gas I used to drive and get my consultation! What a joke of a human being!

Happy to collect payment for little to no representation

We retained Skordas for a federal case. He talked the talk when we were reviewing the details. Felt very confident heading into the first court visits. It was until we were sitting there in court, expecting him to show up and follow the game plan he come up with. Did he show? Nope. One of his underli...ngs shows up, has no idea what we have discussed or how we would like to proceed, looked like a fool in front of the judge, even to the point of the judge pointing out the lack of preparation. From there on out we co rubies to get the cold shoulder from Skordas saying “it’s just part of the process” or “I’m handling it, working some back channels”. We fired him after he pulled the same stunt a second time after promising he would be attending the court hearing. Worst money ever spent. Skordas the snake. Beware, he’ll do a great job of reeling you in to believing he can help and is the perfect man for the job. Unless your case is high profile enough and he’ll get some camera time or an interview from it, expect to not see him after payment is made.

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.

Federal case

I had a federal criminal case in which there was no doubt I would serve time. Greg helped guide me through all my options, and was really good about how much I paid. I did serve time, but it could’ve been a lot worse. He was awesome. Great man.

Not worth the hype

Was very excited to be represented by thee Mr. Skordas but that faded rather quickly as his moodiness and unreliability began to show through the cracks. Bottom line- he didn't even attempt to do what he was paid to do and in court he acted like he could care less. The entire experience was very disa...ppointing.

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.
