Bo represented me in pursuing a modification to an inadequate visitation schedule with my children and I would not hesitate to call upon him again. If you're looking for an experienced attorney with integrity, one who will be well prepared and is surrounded by an excellent supporting cast, you should definitely consider giving him a call.

I retained Mr. Gregg in late Spring of 2015 and have just now, in February of 2017, concluded the difficult divorce case he has handled for me. "Bo" is the kind of attorney that you don't hear enough about; the kind of professional that would give lawyers a sterling reputation were they all able to consistently demonstrate the integrity, the demeanor, and the ability to clearly communicate the sometimes difficult truths about family law in the manner that he does. The team he works with at the Wright Law Firm have the expertise, the depth of knowledge and experience, the manpower, and the class it takes to handle extremely tough issues while retaining the decorum you should expect and deserve from a law firm. I highly recommend that you consider Williard "Bo" Gregg should you be seeking counsel in matters of family law.

Bo Gregg is without a doubt, the best overall divorce lawyer. He is the most thorough, professional, and knowledgeable person I have had the privilege to meet. Bo can make you feel like you are his brother and will advise you like you are his own son. If you ever find yourself needing a family law professional to trust, he is without question the person to call. There is not enough characters to express my gratitude, nor scale to measure him on. Excellent person, professional, and family man. He will do what is right in the most difficult of situations. His staff is outstanding as well!!!

I second all the positive things said by others. Bo is professional, knowledgeable, meticulous, accessible, and genuinely concerned about his clients' welfare. He will not waste your money, but if forced to take a case to trial, he will be thoroughly prepared.

Mr. Gregg is the most professional and caring attorney I have ever had the pleasure to retain as my counsel. He and his staff are responsive and first-rate in every aspect. His dedication to ensuring his clients concerns and desires for their case is impeccable. Due to his diligence and attention to detail in my divorce settlement; I have not had the problems and worries that others have had with their ex-spouses. I have every confidence in his abilities and highly recommend him to anyone.

Bo helped me through a very difficult experience with patience and respect. He paid attention to the level of help I needed and guided me through the whole process. He has continued to advise me years down the road, and I am proud to call him a friend.

Bo represented me in my divorce a couple of years ago. He did a great job with the paperwork and documenting the provisions of the decree, and in otherwise dealing with opposing counsel. He was also very creative and insightful on the tax ramifications of 401k withdrawal, and provided excellent insight and documentation on that.

I hired Mr. Gregg to handle my divorce in late 2014 and I couldn't be more pleased with the services he provided. Not only is he a very experienced and knowledgeable attorney, he possesses the rare ability to explain the legal jargon and process in such a way that it was easily understood. Mr. Gregg went out of his way to lessen the stress of the situation and craft a "win-win" situation for everyone involved. Not once, did I feel like he viewed my case as an "income stream". He always took whatever time was needed to listen to my goals with the process and to achieve them. He continually delivered on his commitments in a timely manner and made me feel as if I were his most important client. I wouldn't hesitate for one second to recommend Mr. Gregg to my closest friends and family.
