Will & Durable Power of Attorney
Greg helped my wife and I put together a will and durable power of attorney. We appreciate his knowledge, patience, and experience. He answered our long list of questions. We feel a sense of relief finally completing the documents.
"I worked opposite Greg on a few cases when he was a lawyer for the insurance companies, and I was always impressed with his professionalism and courtesy. He is a true gentleman and a fantastic attorney. He works hard for his client, and he always found time to return my phone calls. I'm glad that he is no representing those people who have been hurt. He will do a lot of good for those clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Greg was very professional to deal with on a case in which my clients where injured on his insured’s premises. He fought for his clients with determination and skill. I enjoyed litigating this case with him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Greg is a consummate professional and skilled attorney. He genuinely cares about his clients - big or small - and works tirelessly to secure positive results for each of them."
