Posted by anonymous | February 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Smart. Compasionate. Pit Bull.

This pretty much sums up my experience with Greta. She guided me through my divorce, directing me and explaining each step along the way. She was tough when she needed to be and compassionate and understanding when that is what I needed. But in the end, she had my best interests at heart.

Posted by Karina | November 23, 2015 | Guardianship

Knowledgeable and Honest

I was referred to Greta by a friend for a guardianship case. This was a very stressful situation and Greta had all the information I needed to move forward. She was honest and up front with me right from the begining. She made me feel like a person instead of a dollar sign. I really appreciate that. ...Highly recommended family law attorney.

Excellent

I was referred to Greta by another local attorney, and she handled my guardianship case very promptly and professionally. I couldn't imagine how things could have been handled in a smoother manner.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, GRETA

After my brother passed away, I called upon Greta when I was advised that I needed a Probate Attorney to sell his Condo in Las Vegas. I'M SO GLAD I DID! Greta's legal knowledge regarding Real Estate Probate issues is beyond compare. She did it all, quickly, and with very little communication from... me. I highly recommend Greta to assist with any probate issues you may have. She is the best!

Put up a heck of a fight!

I contacted Greta regarding a child support and custody case with my son. Even, though the judge didn't rule completely in our favor, Greta was knowledgeable, stayed in constant communication with me, and put up a heck of a fight. She was calming in a very stressful situation. I am thankful that I r...etained her to assist me with this issue in family court. I recommend Greta to anyone that has a issue in family cour, she gets the job done!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I represent two minor children who lost their parents in a tragic accident. Greta read about the tragedy in the newspaper and contacted me to volunteer her services, pro bono. What she thought would be a simple guardianship case, turned into something much more. Greta did an excellent job for those kids, without receiving a fraction of what she is worth. She then set up the decedents' probate estates so that we can pursue compensation for their family. Greta was knowledgeable about every facet of the process. She is a fantastic attorney and I would recommend her to any potential client."
