Satisfied

Workplace discrimination is a pernicious ordeal and finding a lawyer can feel like another painful step. Greg was receptive, supportive, and forthright from our first conversation. As things progressed, I was impressed by his calm against a particularly powerful and cutthroat corporation. I believe w...e were able to reach the best outcome, and I feel as good about the experience as one can reasonably expect in such a stressful situation. Although I hope to never have occasion to do so, I would not hesitate to seek his advice again.

Greg

I am happy that Gregory represented me in my employment dispute. I believe that he understood exactly what was needed and helped me to get an opportunity for my voice to be heard. Gregory was willing to communicate and have discussions anytime in a sincere humanitarian way; his help made me feel enco...uraged and his legal representation enabled me to look forward and move towards a better future.

A Most Able Attorney

I couldn't have asked for a better guardian than Greg as he guided me and our family through my wrongful termination dispute. He was forthright, logical and fair in estimating the strengths, weaknesses , options and strategies for my case. He kept every commitment, stayed in touch and provided me ca...ndid and compassionate advice on the legal and personal/emotional aspects of my situation. Time and again he was correct in his estimates of outcomes, and what opposing counsel would do. He was an ally and companion in darker moments and was agile in responding the unexpected. He told me the truth. He ably leveraged is previous financial background to serve our sitution. He was a thorough and patient tactician in our mediation. I am pleased with the final outcome of my matter- but it would not alter my admiration for his skill as a lawyer and nor for his authenticity as a human being.

Confidence

The circumstances of my case were very personal and emotional. My ego was bruised and fear about my life and future were heavily on my mind. Greg was an exceptional listener and gave me a sense of calm with his knowledge of the law and how he could best provide assistance and advice. He was extrem...ely responsive to my anxiety about the situation and available whenever I sought him out by phone or email. I have hired lawyers in the past for other life situations but I can't say they were as thoughtful or considerate as I found Greg to be. His style, combined with legal knowledge and concern for his clients is unsurpassed. Don't go anywhere else. And if you visit the law office, try the cupcakes down the street!

Exemplary Attorney

Gregory is the kind of individual, lawyer or not, you can trust. He is innately empathetic and smart. He is well trained in his area of employment law and knows how to apply it to his client's situation. Along the way, during what can be a very stressful situation Greg always ensured that we understo...od the process and timeframe. He answers all questions and is excellent at presenting alternative options and scenarios from a variety of perspectives. He is truly an exemplary attorney.
