Greg cares about the facts of the cases. As an activist the police in Nassau County have made a target of me. TWICE I have been the victim and had to fight TWO bad cases we won at one trial and now another is being dismissed. Greg handled my warrant when I missed a date while on the West Coast and has been fighting for me while out here I have not had to return. He always calls back and goes out of his way for his clients. Grizopolous & Portz puts a huge dent in the pathetic DAs conviction rate where they will carry on cases knowing the person is innocent. Pricing is very reasonable and well earned. I can't recommend Greg enough! A lawyer that actually listens and looks at the case with diligence.

I just wanted to take the time and speak on my experience with Greg Grizopoulos. I was extremely impressed by the way greg and his team handled my case (s). I have used greg in the past for a Aggrivated DWI, which of course got dismissed after a couple months. My most recent and definitely most severe case which included 2 felonies and a misdemeanor I knew without a doubt I needed Greg to represent me. From day 1 greg always kept me informed on what was going on, what I needed to do, and ALWAYS told me what was the best option for us to take. Anytime I called, Greg was always there! Weekdays, weekends, late in the evening, it didn't matter he always answered his phone, and if he didn't he always got back to me within the half hour. He definitely had me remain calm throughout the process. The outcome was more then expected, 2 felonies dropped to a violation--- can't beat that!! Anyways greg is a amazing lawyer and I highly recommend greg for any legal issues you might encounter. You are not just another client, he goes above and beyond for any legal issue big or small!

I cannot express my gratitude to Greg and his wonderful team for his outstanding work and support on my case. My charge was a DWI and I honestly did not think I would see a good outcome. However, due to Mr. Grizopoulis who always showed up to every hearing prepared and confident my outcome was more than I hoped for. During my trial and watching him in the courtroom...he is truly an amazing lawyer. This is the attorney you want sitting beside you. I would highly recommend him.

I was just on a jury where Greg Grizopoulos was the defense attorney, and I was so impressed with his skills and his presence in general, that I looked him up so I could write a reference. If I ever need a defense attorney, I would, without doubt, give him a shout.

For my DUI case I shopped a few lawyers and felt comfortable with the experience, confidence, and price of the firm Grizopoulos works for. Him and his firm were able to work with the DA and come up with a creative solution that prevented a criminal offense from going on my record and just left me with a traffic violation. Subsequently I also used him for a couple small cases involving tickets to employees of my business. Overall I would feel comfortable using him again.

Gregory grizopolos was a outstanding lawyer. I was wrongfully accused of 16 charges including reckless endangerment of a Nassau Police officer all because I lost my NYS drivers license & who ever found it handed it to the cops and fled the scene which led to chaos. The way he went about my case was strong an proved all the missing facts. Even tho my situation was sketchy to others he took the time to do his homework, listen & completely understand where the law went wrong on their behalf. One of the toughest cases he mentioned he ever had that actually got him nervous an for that I am VERY VERY greatful to have had him by my side 100%.

Greg was amazing, he kept me informed on what was going on with my case and was on time to everything. He really put the truth out there for me. I would recommend Greg for any criminal defense service.

I was so worried about my case but Greg kept me informed and always answered my calls. He even returned my calls in the evening hours and on weekends! In the end he was able to negotiate a plea with the DA to a non criminal conviction. I am so thankful that I was referred to Greg. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help.

After sitting in court for five hours, this man lost my paper work. I waited a month and a half for this court date, and took off work that day.. Just for this man could make a fool out of me in front of the judge and loose my paper work. He did not care about the out come of my case clearly; I wouldn't recommend him even to my worst enemy.. Save your money and hire a real lawyer!
