TRULY THE BEST ATTORNEY IN TOWN

Attorney Gregory Watford is truly the best Attorney in town. If I could give 10 stars I would. He is Professional, caring, good listener, passionate about his work, always available etc. I hired him a few years ago to litigate; wrongful charges against me by my employer (The City of New York). ... He won my case and I am so grateful. The amount stress and humiliation was very hard but Attorney Watford is an excellent Attorney in litigation. I am truly grateful!

Domestic Dispute

It was a privilege to have Mr. Watford as my attorney. He was not just my attorney, he was one caring person; for my wife and myself. He was never that person to not return a phone call. Any question I had he was a phone call away. I highly recommend him to anyone. Good Job well done!

Review

Mr. Watford was an excellent lawyer. A couple of years ago I was faced with a very serious charge that was fabricated by an ex. Mr. Watford not only got me off but my record was wiped clean of the incident. He was reliable, dependable, and very knowledgeable
