Client

I hired Greg to review a severance agreement. His advice was practical, thorough, and to the point. He is also very responsive so I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Huge Help

I hired Greg to advise me during a stormy severance negotiation with an employer. He provided direct feedback on the content of my communications, overall tone, and legal pitfalls to avoid. Additionally, his advice on tactics and pacing at each round were critical to my success. Throughout the wh...ole process, he heard my needs clearly, gave direct, effective advice, and always kept me focused on the goal of a successful compromise. The final compensation was 50% more than I expected, but beyond that it really gave me back a sense of agency in the process. Highly recommended!

Excelled lawyer, truly cares about workers and outcomes

Greg negotiated a severance for me and did a great job - I was made whole after being let go. He is transparent about the particulars of your issues and more than fair with cost.

Phenomenal attorney with a kind heart

Greg saw value in my case where no other lawyer/firm did. From the consultation to the ending of my case he was always attentive to any and all questions that I had. He was always pragmatic in what our next approach should be, and I got a result I never would have been able to achieve without him.

Ethical, compassionate, hardworking

Greg took care of my wrongful termination case. He was compassionate while I was still a mess from the shock of being wrongfully terminated, hardworking as my legal advocate, and helped me have a voice when I felt voiceless. I would highly recommend Greg. He was knowledgeable, experienced, ethical, a...nd trustworthy and I always felt like he had my best interests at heart.
