Reviews
Gregg has handled my wife's and my estate plan trusts and living will requirements since 2006 and has done a great job keeping us abreast of changes in the laws and making recommendations to modify our plans. It is comforting to know someone is looking out for our best interests years after the original plans were drafted and put in place.
Gregg defended me in an estate dispute. From our first phone conversation all the way through to the end, he was respectful and supportive and thoroughly explained the process and what to expect both in time and cost. He was patient and encouraging; particularly through the discovery and deposition phase. My questions and concerns were answered quickly and his advice was always in my best interest and helpful. I highly recommend him and his team.
