Guardianship for Father

I live in Utah and my father lives in Nevada, unfortunately his wife died who was also his guardian. I needed to find an attorney that could help me with the guardianship process so that I could help him. Luckily for me, I found Greta and she was such a great help to me. Her knowledge of the proces...s and experience with guardianships proved to be invaluable. She went above and beyond what I expected of her and her associations with the local court system quickened the process. Therefore, the costs associated with the case were decreased due to less time spent on her part. I can't say enough positive things to describe her: she was professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and most importantly, I know by her actions that she cares about my father and I. If you are looking for a great attorney, she's the one!

I highly recommend Greta!

Greta handled my divorce/child custody case efficiently and professionally, yet with a personal touch. She cares about her clients and what is right. She gave me some excellent specific legal advice that I chose not to follow in the emotional heat of the divorce and have regretted ever since. I la...ter had to have her help me fix the mess I made by not following her advice in the first place. She is very intelligent, responsive and patient, well-versed and up-to-date on the law. I highly recommend her, and advise you to follow her advice.

"#1 Go to Girl"

I met with Greta over 8 years ago about my child support/custody case. This year I was challenged by my child’s father and his attorney and I knew I needed someone powerful on my side to end the ongoing fiasco and quick. I had to call Greta! She took my case and did exactly what I needed her to do. S...he is hard-hitting and very educated in her field. I never had a doubt in my mind that after retaining Greta I wasn’t in the best hands I could be in. When it comes to your children and support/custody issues, Greta is absolutely the “GO TO GIRL” to have by your side.

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."
