Posted by Jo | March 10, 2014 | Social Security Disability

Thanks, Greg, for your professional and friendly assistance during my daughter's dealings with Social Securith Administration .

Greg was very helpful and attentive to my daughter's problems with obtaining Social Security Disability. He always answered my calls promptly and with solid suggestions. He interviewed my daughter, who has agoraphobia, on skype so she wouldn't have to go out. He offered to accompany us to the Soci...al Security office. He was very patient and answered all my questions thoroughly and with good advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
