An Attorney that makes you money!

I have used Greg over the past 10 years and have loved working with him. Greg has helped me move my insurance practice to different large financial industry organizations. Greg is smart and not only does he point out the pit falls of any deal, he also uses creative ideas to get more compensation fo...r his clients. Greg recently helped me obtain an extra six figures on a new employment agreement. This is after the employer said no to my initial ask. Greg used an innovative strategy to get me more money!! THANK YOU GREGORY!!!

EVP & General Manager

Gregory is simply a “trusted adviser.” Most special about Gregory is his cool demeanor, his ability to see the world from all angles, to offer advice that is personal, professional, well thought out, and logical. He comes at problems focused on your success. Gregory consulted on many issues, trad...emark registration, intellectual property, general business, HR, corporate strategy, legal services tied to fundraising, taxes, etc. Gregory is a masterful dealmaker, unusually candid, and very smart. I sat on the business development side of our business, and Gregory was always helpful in structuring deals and laying out a strategy, and the appropriate contracts. In the beginning, Gregory was in place when our company launched; he is a fantastic startup lawyer who helped put legal documentation in place and file with the appropriate authorities. His gift is his vision and good solid council. His perspective, logic, and counsel helped us reach the right conclusions many times. When you need serious council, Gregory has the ability to see beyond the horizon and to guide you where you need to be. He never let me down. A few thoughts to describe Gregory: • Responsive and analytical • Thoroughly discusses options and concerns • Professional in contract correspondence • Has a good business sense and good common sense • He always behaves professionally • He has the unique ability to cool-down explosive situations • Goes above and beyond what could be reasonably expected from a lawyer • I am honored to have the opportunity to describe what a good person he is, and a good lawyer

CFO

I have been working with Gregory regularly for over 3 years now. We engaged Gregory before our company launched and he helped us set the company up and put the required legal documentation in place. He has also helped us with legal services tied to fundraising, trademarks, taxes, etc. Gregory is a... top notch attorney but also has great business sense and has helped guide our small company through some challenging times. He genuinely cares about his clients and has become a good friend and trusted confident. I would highly recommend Gregory.

"I have consulted Gregory on issues ranging from trademark registration and intellectual property protection to general business litigation and corporate strategy. Gregory is experienced in a variety of important practice areas, and is well connected in the professional community. I have also referred two clients to Gregory.

"Gregory is my go-to attorney whenever issues regarding business transactions and potential litigation arise in my clients' family law matters. He has a great "bedside manner" with my clients, and helps them understand the risks and benefits of litigation -- which usually leads them to take his advice regarding potential settlement strategies. I have also sent him several clients who needed help negotiating and setting up limited liability partnerships. He is an 'all star' attorney."

  • 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.
