Justice Served

With his many years of experience as a defense attorney in King County I got very solid representation and Mr. Girard succeeded in getting my felony case dismissed before trial. This is a goal he set from the outset, believing that the State's burden of proof could not be surmounted. Locally educat...ed, he is very competent in this state's areas of law. I was out of the country when charges were filed against me. A rush to judgement by the prosecution together with their reckless accusations resulted in a warrant being issued for my arrest. Greg got the arrest warrant quashed so I could walk off the plane and go home, and at arraignment he successfully argued in getting me released on personal recognizance and the bail money released. It is my belief that Greg Girard's standing and reputation among attorneys and judges in the community and in the prosecutors office was instrumental in me getting the result that I did. Knowledgeable with considerable experience first, and then with a cool and smooth and calming demeanor, I would recommend this attorney to anyone needing competent defense representation. His fees are very reasonable so any future client of his can know their money is being well used. Am very pleased and recommend this attorney without any hesitations. Mr. Girard well uses his practice in order to keep the system fair and honest, and I couldn't be more pleased.

Medical Marijuana Lawyer

I would highly recommend Greg Girard. He defended me in a felony marijuana case and he did an a great job. He was very attentive to detail and answered any and all questions I had. He really knows his stuff. We fought the case for a year and a half and I was satisfied with the outcome.

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.
