Gregory is unique in that his superior intellect and relentless work ethic render him more prepared and formidable than anyone.
Before I met Gregory, I fired five lazy , incompetent lawyers who were good at nothing except sending bills ( and who ended up hurting my case multiple times through ignorance and/or negligence).
After all this I found myself in negative territory.
Unconstitutional and unethical judgement had been passed against my case based on 100 percent fabricated, as in unprovable “evidence”, producing disastrous ramifications.
This was later confirmed by the appellate court.
It seemed day by day the false and very toxic narrative was growing faster and deeper just like a cancer.
At the advice of a friend, I went to see Gregory, and my life quickly changed.
Within a short time, Gregory and his staff came to me with all the details of my life and what had happened related to my case before they took it over just as if they had lived it right there beside me .
They knew the false narrative along with the real truth that was now buried beneath.
In every hearing, deposition, pleading, etc. Gregory and his wonderfully astute staff were so well prepared, they left the other team of lawyers looking foolish.
Gregory did some incredible things as mentioned below .
These accounts illustrate just a few of the absurd conditions Gregory had to rectify.
They serve as a testament to how bizarre the fight became.
For example, without saying too much Greg very politely pointed out … let’s just say….” irregularities “
in some of the in the actions of the opponent’s nine lawyers.
They must have agreed with him because within 24 hours all of them resigned.
In another instance he proved in court in front of everyone that an arm of the court had committed perjury 3 times in statements against me .
One could have heard a pin drop in that court room!
He eliminated other questionable parties in a similar fashion.
Once we had a level playing field the tide dramatically turned.
In short , ( and very understated here) he won a very complicated custody battle ( spiderweb of lawsuits ) and in so doing changed the course our lives forever.
Not only did he expertly mediate all the cases that needed to be settled ( a talent for which he is known),
but in the final trial of the final case by using a very unorthodox approach, he sat back with his ingenious strategy and caused the opposing lawyers to unwittingly make it clear for all to see their dishonest assertions.
He gave them just enough rope ….
and made them regret it.
Gregory possesses an extreme drive that causes him to work tirelessly but in
the courtroom is where he shines
the most with all his talent and brilliance are on full display.
Some type of force comes over
him and he OWNS the court room
with everyone hanging on his every word.
His direct and cross examination questions are expertly fashioned with surgical precision.
Gregory ruthlessly destroys the opposing side by eloquently and craftily questioning the opposing side’s witnesses, beguiling and /or forcing them into admitting facts against their own side (even the EXPERT witnesses).
His carefully chosen staff is perfectly organized ( very talented in their own right ) who deliver not only in the court room but in everything they do.
They are armed with meticulous research to back up everything they say.
Gregory, et al. could sense our feelings and know what it was like to walk in our shoes at every stage in the fight.
Because he changed everything by removing my children from a very unhealthy situation, he is revered and adored by all my family and friends for his excellent judgment and dedication to doing the right thing
( as is all his staff).
It’s not only the brilliance and dedicated hard work , it is his drive, passion and seemingly clairvoyant intuition that deliver the victories.
Gregory is second to none and for that I am eternally grateful.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this attorney and the people who work at his law firm. The S&N team went above and beyond to protect my daughter and me. When everything is on the line, this is who you want in your corner. Shamoun’s experience, legal expertise, strategic and highly aggressive approach are top level in every respect. He is one of the few that does what he says and has the ability to make things happen. His advice is invaluable. I would absolutely recommend him for any legal issue.

This firm contracted me to work as an expert witness. Both sides signed the contract, I worked for about a month, providing only about 5 hours of service reading court documents, having conversations with several S&N attorneys about the positions and strategy for the particular IP case I was hired for. They reported to be satisfied with my work. I submitted my invoice but it was never paid. They told me the case had been transferred to a different law firm. I responded that my contract was with them, and the work was performed with them. They agreed, said they would process my payment. They have not paid and ceased communications with me.
I have all this documented with contracts and emails. The Texas Bar has provided no help, saying it is not in their jurisdiction. I live in San Diego, so it's not cost effective for me to pursue via small claims court, the invoice being only about $1,500.
This firm should be avoided since they have proven to be unethical.
