Criminal Attorney for Unemployment Fraud

I was referred to Karl Green by another attorney as someone that may be able to help me with an old unemployment fraud case from back in 2009. After a phone call with him, I quickly retained him and had great results in a short amount of time. Within 10 days of the date of retainer, my case had... been dismissed. Karl was friendly, knowledgeable, ON THE BALL and contacted me immediately with any and all movement with my case. He was also very helpful in making sure that I understood everything and that I had copies and a paper-trail for everything pertinent. Overall, I had a very positive experience and got the results I had hoped for. I would highly recommend his services.

Amazing

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Karl Green for all the care and concern he showed me during my divorce. Mr. Green worked tirelessly to ensure that everything worked in my favor. When I was served with the divorce papers, everything seemed hopeless to me and my children. I had no... one to turn to until I was referred to Mr. Green. He took my case without resistance and ensured me that everything was going to be okay. From the moment I met him up until my case was closed, I had peace of mind because he took care of everything concerning my children and me. If it weren’t for Mr. Green’s analytical skills and compassionate heart, I don’t know what could have happened to me. I am very thankful for his legal advice, time, and effort he put in to assist me. I will definitely recommend Mr. Green to anyone who is in need of a legal assistance.

We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of great representation and a genuinely kind, caring man to help in their legal needs.

Amazing

Mr. Green was amazing. He jumped right into figuring out how to handle and take care of my case. He was nice, patient, extremely helpful, & guided me in the right direction to get everything taken care of appropriately. He returned my phone calls within 2 hours and kept me updated every step of th...e way. I definitely refer him and suggest if you EVER need a lawyer, then Mr. Green is your guy. I would/will use him again in the future if need be.

  • 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.
