also known as Greg W. Schwesinger
Virtual Consultation Available
Following a successful career as a Judge Advocate and subsequently as a Prosecuting Attorney for the City of Seattle, I chose to enter the private sector and represent those who unfortunately find themselves charged with a crime or injured or violated by someone else’s negligence or criminal behavior. I have successfully handled thousands of cases throughout my career. I represent my clients zealously and with an abundance of compassion and care, and I continue to look forward to the challenge of serving those who find themselves in need of my professional services. I operate a small, boutique law firm, and I am dedicated to a small group of clients at a time. You will be the big fish in a small sea rather than a small fish in a huge sea of clients vying for my attention.

Greg was incredible and human. He genuinely cared about me as a human being and at every step went above and beyond to help me.

Efficiency
Greg was exceptional in handling my case. As it was my first ticket, I was uncertain about the process and unsure of my options.
