Got my case dissmissed!

Greg was a very professional and a very calming attorney. From the start Greg listened and was attentive to my case. Greg did not jump to any conclusions. Greg took down notes listened to my side of the argument and presented me with the best and worst case scenarios to my case. He was not the type o...f attorney that was pompous or arrogant and pretended that he would win. He simply stated that he would provide the best outcome in my specific case. Throughout the case he kept me informed of the facts and always assured me he was protecting my interests. Greg worked on my case and got it dismissed based on a strategy and apparent experience. I was not expecting the outcome of a dismissal, but I was confident that we would have a favorable outcome. I would recommend anyone to Greg he was professional, competent and straightforward exactly what you would expect from your attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
