5 Stars is not enough

Greyson came into my case to help prepare me for what was a very long haul with the courts. He is a fearless advocate, and extraordinary at details, preparing me and working with me tirelessly. His attention to detail is incredible, and in the process became not only one of the finest lawyers you c...ould ever hope for, but a true friend as well. No detail is missed, no challenge too great. You simply cannot find a finer attorney, or a finer person. ThisJjustice Team is all that and more.I simply cannot express the excellent job Greyson did, and highly recommend him to all.

Hire Greyson - he’s an amazing lawyer!

Where do I begin? Greyson exceeded my expectations! From the first day I met him - he took a genuine interest in my life, my injuries & getting to know me. He made me feel very comfortable and assured me he would fight for me. And fight for me he did! I was injured in a slip and fall nearly 5 yea...rs ago, it was an independent cleaning company that was mopping. They denied any liability and actually tried to place the blame on me. I sustained a spinal cord injury, nerve damage and was also diagnosed with a tricky hard to explain pain syndrome CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). So when we went to trial Greyson had his work cut out for him. He had to prove that the cleaning company should be found liable and then fight for my damages. Greyson was incredibly thorough and very knowledgeable of the law. He made very clear & concise points, was very well spoken and was truly a pleasure to work with. He checked in on me during the whole process and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. As my trial concluded, Greyson gave me the biggest hug and said the reason he became a lawyer is to help wrongfully injured people like me. Due to his skill as a lawyer WE WON! He proved that the cleaning company was 100% liable and I received a multi-million dollar ruling. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney who will make you a priority and truly go above and beyond - hire Greyson. I could not have asked for a better lawyer and would highly recommend him and his team. Thank you so much Greyson.

BEST OF THE BEST

In August 2012, I suffered several major injuries after falling from a third story window that had not been properly kept up to current safety code regulations. I had gone to dinner with a guy I had just started dating a few weeks prior and decided to sleep at this house instead of driving home after... drinking a couple glasses of wine. Some time after we had gone to sleep, I woke up in a daze on the ground - my hands were dangling from my wrists, I couldn't remember where I was, and I was trying to get help. It wasn't until later in the ER that I found out I had fractured several vertebrae that resulted in me needing a large spinal fusion, I had fractured my sacrum and sternum, and severely fractured both wrists which needed to be repaired through the insertion of hardware. I had fallen from a window that could be pushed open with less than three pounds of pressure and that had a windowsill 19 inches in height (which fell right at my kneecap). My entire world had changed overnight--I felt like I was 22 going on 90 and knew my life would never really be the same again. Two years later, I was in contact with Greyson at the Simon Law Group to help me prove that the building owners' negligence was the direct cause of my injuries. I'm not going to sugarcoat this--going into litigation after suffering a traumatic injury through a traumatic event is like signing yourself up for voluntary PTSD. You're constantly forced to relive and retell and recall bits and pieces of information that you've shoved down into the depths of your mind because we're humans and thats what we do in order to self-preserve. If you're going to have to relive and and retell and recall bits and pieces of information that you find difficult to talk about, Greyson is your guy! He was one of a few attorneys working on my case, but I worked with Greyson the closest for the first two years to get all of our evidence together. There were days when I tried to give up and really felt like the battle wasn't worth fighting anymore, but Greyson never let me give up. He believed in me and there's nothing that is more important when hiring an attorney than hiring one that truly believes in you and only has your best interest at heart. Greyson feels like family to me now--I confided a lot in him and never felt unsafe doing so. I could go on and on and on all day about how awesome it was to have Greyson by my side during this whole experience, but I guess the most important part is that after all that time, all those tears, all the times I wanted to give up--I'm glad I didn't. Last month, the case went to trial for nearly four weeks and after many ups and downs (but mostly ups), we won this case with an INCREDIBLE verdict in our favor. I am forever grateful to Greyson for his optimism and perseverance. If you have a list of attorneys to consult with, do yourself a favor--make Greyson number one. You won't regret it.

Attorney Review

My father hired Mr. Goody to handle an injury lawsuit that was being mishandled by another attorney. Mr. Goody was very professional throughout the entire process. The case went to trial, was handled very well, my father won his case, and was awarded money for damages. I feel that I am able to giv...e a good assessment of Mr. Goody because I was involve very closely with the case but not attached to it and could observe objectively. I have also had to hire several different attorney's over the years myself and Mr. Goody was by far my favorite. He is an honest, personable, and very smart attorney who genuinely cared about his client. When you go to court you need someone who will fight for you and care about the outcome.
