Good advice

Even though Greg was not able to help me, he provided valuable advice. He was always kind enough to reply to my questions and point me in the right direction.

Posted by Thomas H Harris | March 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Great work.

Greg was a great help to me in recovering a judgement owed to me. He listened to my concerns. He made the process clear and answers any questions or concerns I had. He made himself available when I called and if busy he called me back. In two words GREAT attorney. He knows his stuff.

Effective, fair, and excellent in his work

Greg is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. My collections case was difficult. The opposing party used all means at their disposal to make it impossible to collect. First by attempting to ignore me, then by moving money in accounts, and finally by making promises of settlement then violatin...g their written promises. Greg did what I could not. His understanding of process and the nuances of collections make it impossible for opposing council to ignore him. His follow up, negotiation, and ability to execute on collections efforts is unmatched. He is firm, fair, and effective. I consider it a privilege to have Greg as my Lawyer.
