Showing 1 - 1 of 1 review | Domestic Violence

Posted by Susan | August 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Knowledgeable and Dependable

Mr. Green was a great attorney when I found myself blindsided by a contentious exboyfriend who was trying to use the legal system to continue to try and torment me even after we had broken up. Mr. Green took the time to listen to my situation, and explain what legal action I needed to take which was ...to file a Temporary Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence. Mr. Green also helped guide me in obtaining the lengthy rap sheet on my exboyfriend which included a history of domestic violence against other women. A legal history I was unaware of, but had experienced during our short relationship. Because of his numerous arrests, convictions, and an incarceration, this guy was very knowledgeable in how the legal system operated as well as how it could be manipulated. Mr. Green was truly my savior. He explained everything in great detail and answered any and all questions I had. When we went to court he was able to find a resolution that kept the exboyfriend away from me, and kept my reputation intact. I would use Mr. Green again without hesitation. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a knowledgeable and attentive attorney who exhibits great integrity. I am truly grateful for what he did for me.
