Like magic!

Greg's cease and desist letter, and his clear and firm communication with my opponent, brought a swift end to my defamation dispute! I'm so relieved that I didn't have to take my opponent to court for a lengthy and stressful battle. I *highly* recommend Greg to anyone being defamed in whatever medium....

Very Knowledgeable and Communicative

Mr. Michael became very knowledgeable about my specific circumstances in a time-sensitive environment and indicated to me continuously my options in regards to my situation. I appreciated the time that he took to explain the possible consequences at various stages which greatly alleviated my concern ...with the situation coming to a relatively quick resolution. I was very impressed at the options afforded to me with my perspective being paramount within the confines of the law. I would absolutely recommend, and if needed in the future, he will be my first contact.

Very Responsible and Persistent

I appreciate very much Gregory for his help with the class sue of the GFDP case. It lasts for more than two years!

A very responsive and trustworthy attorney

Greg Michael of Dhillon Law Group represented me with an issue on a social media platform where another user was using my photo without my permission. While the social media platform declined to take any action and was not addressing my concerns. Greg achieved a successful outcome on my behalf with t...he social media platform. He was very responsive, professional and took a genuine interest in my case. I felt I was in good hands and would definitely recommend him.

Gregory always goes over the top to solve any issues or clarify any question we may have along the road. He's very clear, timely and professional. He's the kind of lawyer you want to have sitting next to you. A five-star gentleman!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
