Paul Greco Great Service and an Attorney that cares

To say that Paul Greco and his staff are great is an understatement. Paul cares about his clients and people period! He clearly understands the law and what it takes to have successful results on behalf of his clients. Paul worked with me on his retainer, made it flexible for me to afford and will... soon be working on removing any blemishes off my personal history. I recommend Paul to anyone looking for an honest attorney that acts with integrity and does not hold back. My family and I are eternally grateful to Paul and his staff. Thank you Paul

Full-service Attorney

If you ever find yourself in the situation of needing an attorney, Paul Greco is the one to hire. He explained the entire process, walked me through step by step, was available to answer all questions, and most importantly, put my mind at ease. The case was handled swiftly, with the absolute best pos...sible outcome. I am extremely impressed by his skills in the legal realm, as well as with handling clients. I felt like I was his top priority at all times. Mr. Greco is truly a full-service attorney.

Gave Us Peace of Mind

Mr. Greco represented my son in a misdemeanor hit and run case. When we initially looked for representation, we were a bit discouraged because we have limited means and could not afford to retain counsel. We thought that our only alternative was to go with a public defender or accept whatever deal ...was presented to us. We contacted Mr. Greco and he was gracious enough to work out a payment plan with us. My son was facing possible jail time, suspension of his license, points on his record, and most likely large monetary fees. We were afraid of how this would affect my son's education and his future being marred with a misdemeanor. Mr. Greco fought for my son and was able to reduce the misdemeanor charge to an infraction (ticket) and a small court fine. We are very happy with Mr. Greco's representation. He made us feel at ease and confident that he would fight for a positive outcome.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Mr. Greco. During his time in the Prosecutor's office I had many battles with him. He is a knowledgeable, aggressive advocate. Mr. Greco knows more about the inner workings and weak spots of the Santa Barbara District Attorneys Santa Maria Division than any defense lawyer practicing today."
