Highly recommend

Greg is a fantastic guy and an excellent lawyer. I was unfairly fired from my job and offered a small severance. I ultimately decided not to proceed with a lawsuit which was my choice, but with Greg’s representation I was able to settle for 4x what they originally offered. I highly recommend Greg and... the rest of the team at Teller & Associates.

Experienced - Professional - Highly Recommended

Greg is a very smart, professional, and experienced attorney. He was able to get a very favorable outcome for me, quickly, in what could have been a long drawn out legal matter. He was highly recommended to me, and now I highly recommend Greg and his firm.

Consultation Success

I was terminated from my employment wrongfully, I thought, and was ready to fight. Greg helped me understand that as an "At will" employee, I really didn't have much of a case. He felt a personal letter from me to the employer would be better received rather than a letter from an attorney (and less e...xpensive). He agreed to edit and make a few suggestions to my letter and as a result, I received a better severance than the company's first offer.

Truly the best, knowledgeable, caring, professional.

Hiring an attorney is not like hiring a plumber. If you hire the wrong plumber you can usually reverse it. If you hire the wrong attorney, you may never be able to recover. Hiring Greg, and Teller and Associates was clearly the right choice for me to handle my wrongful termination case. This w...as not an easy case, and for me, quite emotional. Both Greg and Stephen really went to bat for me. When I didn't understand, they explained. With any attorney, the proof is in the end, what was the outcome. In my case, they did a really amazing job. Where it counted, we won. I would highly recommend Greg, and Teller and Associates.

Resolved my complicated and difficult lawsuit with kindness and integrity! Savvy legal powerhouse with a heart of gold.

My harassment/retaliation lawsuit was incredibly complicated and difficult for me both personally and professionally. I chose to retain Teller and Associates based on both their experience and conservative approach to helping me obtain a positive resolution. Greg worked tirelessly going through thous...ands of documents on my behalf. His kindness and patience throughout the process helped me a great deal in dealing with the many losses associated with my situation. He took the time to listen and follow up with me and guided me in the right direction without fail. Greg Hitzel and the Team at Teller and Associates were the perfect choice for a great resolution!
