Why Hire a Private Attorney? Why Not the Public Defender?

A large number of his cases involve the most common offenses, such as DUI, domestic violence and petty theft in Torrance, Long Beach, Compton and the LAX courthouse, however, he has defended others in less commonly seen offenses such as animal cruelty, embezzlement, prostitution (male and female), attempted murder, child abuse, sex offenses and check kiting in more distant courthouses. He approaches each case with gusto, as if he is defending a member of his family. He greatly enjoys his work. For a sampling of client testimonials about Greg and our firm, click here.

Greg is one of only a few U.S. Naval Academy graduates to pursue a career in law following his service to our country. While in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1987 to 1994 following his graduation from the Naval Academy (in Annapolis, Maryland), Greg served as a Second Lieutenant, then First Lieutenant and then Captain. He served in Operation Desert Storm, where he flew 35 combat missions over Iraq in the EA-6B Prowler, a jet. Greg had over 1,000 hours of flight time and was awarded three air medals during wartime. Greg traveled all over the world while in the Marines.

Greg believes it was this time in his life, as a leader of young men, that gives him an ability to understand his clients better than most other attorneys. He spent time with such young men, on deployment away from friends and family and came to understand not only them better, but himself quite a bit better. He came to appreciate that such young men, while perhaps not as educated as Greg, were often very intelligent, quite determined and usually, ambitious. They were just like him, but without the luxury of a formal education. Greg takes this respect for others into each case he now handles.

In college, Greg ran on the varsity cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track teams for all four years. He graduated with honors and later went on to earn a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Boston University and a law degree from Loyola Law School, where he was Senior Articles Editor on the International Law Journal.

Greg volunteers his time as a judge pro-tem for the Los Angeles Superior Court and has served on the Los Angeles County Bar Association Legislative Review Committee for several years. He also volunteers time with his son’s Boy Scout troop, Troop 783. Greg himself was an Eagle Scout. He has also enjoyed serving as a baseball, soccer and basketball coach for all three of his kids.

Lastly, Greg has volunteered for over ten years as a Blue and Gold Officer as a member of the U.S. Naval Academy’s Admissions Board.
