Rounding-up a client’s money. Greg has practiced throughout the state of Arizona. He has appeared in and litigated cases in 13 of Arizona's 15 county superior courts. In one particular case, Greg's client was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars by a rural Arizona cattle rancher who refused to pay. So Greg rode into town (in his car), obtained a court order, and got the sheriff and wranglers to ride the range (on horseback) for three days, rounding up over 300 head of cattle roaming over 70 sections of Arizona rangeland. The cattle were taken to market and sold to partially pay Greg’s client.

Winning a complex construction lawsuit. Greg’s client in this case was one of two framers and several other contractors involved in a multi-million dollar, 201-homeowner construction-defect lawsuit. Despite the complicated nature of the case and the multiple lawyers involved, Greg prevailed after a six-week jury trial, with the jury awarding no damages whatsoever against his client.

“I assist my construction clients in completing their construction projects on time, helping them solve any problems that arise during construction. And I help them collect amounts due on construction projects when payment or performance issues arise by using lien and payment bond remedies. Additionally, I assist construction clients in Registrar of Contractors, state, and federal court litigation. I also help business clients manage their accounts receivable by recovering money or property they’re owed.”

“Many people say that if they had another chance, they’d choose another profession. Not me! I love helping clients solve their problems and get a special thrill when I successfully assist clients in recovering money or property they’re owed. It’s especially satisfying when the other side’s taken steps that they believe places their assets beyond the reach of my clients.”
