This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant Attorney

Greg Cartwright is a brilliant attorney who was able to see the big picture of what needed be done to win my case; while paying astute attention to all of the important details. He was like a guiding light that was always there for us to answer questions and clarify each step toward the goal. Greg ...works with years of experience and incredible knowledge of the law, a firm hand, and kind explanations. He is honest, caring, and sincere. We were able to come to a fair resolution in a relatively short time due to Greg’s amazing efficiency, thus saving us thousands of dollars. We are so happy we found this gifted lawyer!

Outstanding, results-oriented attorney

Greg is a top-notch attorney who gets great results for his clients while keeping his relationships with them on a very personal, interactive level. I have not only referred potential clients to Greg, with spectacular results, I have consulted with him personally on more than one occasion for his exp...ertise and insight into areas of the law he knows far better than I. I give Greg my highest endorsement.

Recommendation of Greg Cartwright

Greg is smart, efficient and thorough. Where some attorneys overcomplicate the issues, Greg provides a clear and straightfoward solution. I have both worked with him as a client, and referred him with confidence to my own clients. He is a delight to work with.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
