Don't waste your money.

Greg Wall seemed to be competent, but certainly didn't do what I was expecting of him. He might be OK in an uncomplicated divorce, but not when dealing with a non-standard situation. My (ex)wife was a liar and hid assets, for example she claimed she inherited $30,000, but actually (as I found out yea...rs latter) it was over $300,000. I told Greg Wall her father was worth about one million dollars when he died, but he did nothing to find out how much she actually inherited, and I had to pay some of her attorney fees because it was a "financial hardship" for her. I told him she was lying about a lot of things besides that, and he shrugged it off saying "everybody lies in a divorce" (I wasn't. Was he telling me to?) There was a real property involved which she did not show the paperwork on (claiming she couldn't find it), G.W. said it wasn't important, but, it turns out, she was in the process of putting it into her name. I told him that she had to have undisclosed accounts (for example none of the disclosed accounts showed the $30,000), but his examination of her on the stand was so inept the judge told him to stop wasting time, so her undisclosed assets were never revealed. During the trial I was to write down any questions I wanted him to ask, but he didn't ask most of the ones I wrote down. I don't think he could have done a worse job for me even if she was paying him to do so!

This is a recitation of events of 9 years ago, and its accuracy and veracity are immediately suspect. Virtually is incorrect. This client received 56% of the assets and his wife 44%. Her inheritance, as he was told, was not, and is not, considered marital property in Utah and not subject to division between the two spouses. That property was her sole and separate property, regardless of the amount. The remaining property will generally be divided roughly 50/50, but he in fact ended up more than 50/50. The amount of her inheritance would have been a consideration in awarding alimony but this client wasn't required to pay alimony, so once again he received another victory in the case. The wife appealed the case to the Court of Appeals, claiming the property division was unfair, but the appellate court made no change in the award, finding it fair and reasonable. This client also did not choose to file a cross-appeal to claim he also had been wronged at trial, but then again, that would be difficult when you end up not having to pay any alimony and getting more than half of the property. This client's recitation of the trial proceedings is entirely wrong, some of his questions were asked, and others were not of any value, and therefore were not asked. On the appeal he was not ordered to pay any of her attorney fees because the appellate court found he was the prevailing party on appeal. This is hardly a picture of a situation where the client has been wronged or had a poor result. Just the opposite. And a complaint 9 years after the case ended is based on very questionable motives.

Superb, smart, knowledgeable, and communicative

Attorney Gregory B. Wall, represented me in a complicated divorce case. He is a very smart and compassionate family attorney, who knows his stuff. He was always available on the phone/ email and responded to my queries promptly. Above all, he is a great human being who genuinely cares for his clients.... I not only found an excellent attorney, but a great friend as well.

Reasonbab le fees coupled with broad knowledge and experience

I was really pleased with the services provided by Mr. Wall. He actually spent a fair amount of time providing me with information about my case and helping me to understand the law behind the case as well as procedures and other things going on with the case. It was obviously that his considerabl...e experience served me well. I was also pleased with his rates, which tend to be lower than many other attorneys, so his rates coupled with the extra extensive experience made the whole experience a big plus.

A strong recommendation

I really appreciated the help I received during a very difficult divorce case. I was well represented by someone who obviously knows his stuff. Very personable and I find out now is well respected and known in the legal community. I would definitely use Mr. Wall again.

Greg Wall deserves an A+ by me!

I walked in crying one day to Gregs office from being treated unfairly by my daughters father. Greg patiently listened to all of my troubles, offered advice, and ultimately helped me get exactly what I felt was fair. What I liked most about him was that he had a way of calming me down and kept me fe...eling hopeful during a very stressful time in my life. He stood by me every step of the way in my painful patternity suit and I will forever be greatful! Give him a call today! You wont be dissapointed!
