Helped educate clients and give them confidence in understanding the law

When our church needed an analysis of employment law as it affected one of our ministries, we turned to Mr. Wolk on the recommendation of a mutual friend. Mr. Wolk's analysis was thorough and took into account both federal law and our state's system of employment law. His analysis, written very clear...ly and to the point, helped inform our church's lead attorney, producing a plan of action that saved us money and brought us a greater understanding of the law. Mr. Wolk patiently explained deeper principles of the law to our Corporate Secretary and helped educate her so that she could better work with the church's lead attorney and Trustees. He always returned calls promptly and delivered his work on time. We look forward to working with him again.

Would recommend Greg Wolk

Greg Wolk has been representing me in a Class Action lawsuit since 2013. During this time, he has acted in the most courteous and professional manner. He always returns my phone calls promptly and is almost always available to answer questions when I have called his office. He has also called me jus...t to update me on my case. I have had several in person meetings with Greg and they have always started on time. I would highly recommend Greg Wolk for your legal needs

Greg Wolk, Professional and Outstanding

Greg Wolk has been representing me since 2011. He is a man of integrity. He is very honest, and an excellent attorney. Greg shows up on time, knows my case inside out, and keeps me informed of progress. I will recommend Greg to anyone who is looking for an attorney that cares about their clients, an...d cares about justice to their clients. What I like about Greg is that he always answers the phone when I call, he answers all my questions, and he is very patient. I am fortunate to have Greg as my attorney.

Unprofessional and Disrespectful

Gregory Wolk completely blew off our scheduled meeting due to having higher priority deadlines. The appointment was not canceled, I was informed of this at the time of our appointment. I was offered an appointment for the following Friday as he *should* have time for me then. NO THANKS. When I commen...ted how extremely rude and unprofessional this was to the receptionist he promptly hung up on me. His staff operates to his level on integrity it seems.

Replied last September 15, 2014

This is Greg Wolk writing in response to this review. First, if this were an actual client, s/he would not refer to me as “Gregory.” I looked into the representations set forth in this review, as I did not recall ever canceling such a meeting, especially with a client. My paralegal confirmed that the statements in this review simply never happened. I disputed this review with Avvo, which has failed to confirm whether this reviewer was an actual client based on any evidence. This is a situation where someone has falsely claimed to be a former client and has made the other false representations about me. In my defense, I maintain that I provide only the most professional service to each and every single client I represent. Indeed, I have never had a client express dissatisfaction with my responsiveness. If you are visiting this site and reading this review and response, you probably know right now exactly what it means to be treated unfairly with little or no obvious recourse. Well, although Avvo will not allow me to prove this person was not a client, etc., I promise that if I take your case, I will work hard with you to give you a voice and make sure that you are heard. Throughout the process, you will feel proud of your attorney. This is my promise. Thank you for your attention.

Employment and labor lawyer | Apr 13

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Mr. Wolk for four years as co-workers and presently I work with Mr. Wolk on a continuing basis as colleagues in the community. I have personally observed Mr. Wolk to be thoughtful, thorough, and tenacious. I have observed him to listen carefully to the client's needs and act responsively. Based on my experience, he genuinely cares about the well-bring of his clients from both a legal and a life perspective. He remains respectful to other lawyers and judges even as he acts zealously in the client's interest. He is well-versed in the latest developments in employment law. He is a valuable partner to me as a lawyer in brainstorming solutions. He is even-tempered and makes decisions based on logic and strategy."
