I sent one of our clients to him randomly and he was honest with the guy. He recommended an option for him that he could use to take care of the small issue himself and not have to pay anyone. These days, this is huge to me when it seems like everyone is out for themselves. I would recommend David's services and will be sending him more of our clients in the future.

Attorney Russell Gregory has proven to be a dedicated, compassionate attorney who truly follows his philosophy with attention and care. He listens to each individual, giving them the time they deserve, without feeling rushed. He works directly with people to find the absolute best course of action for every individual. He truly is an outstanding and amazing professional.
Many months ago I contacted him in regard to a medical malpractice case. Because of the unique nature of our case, he felt we would be best served if we used another attorney, who focused on our special type of medical situation; he did not abandon the case. Instead, he began to reach out to his network of attorneys to help us find an attorney who could find justice for us. He always remained available to consult with us and personally contacted us back, always in an extremely timely manner. Mr. Gregory has proven that he is one of the fiercest advocates for his clients and those who have been wronged and left damaged by medical professionals.
The professionalism, wisdom, compassion and dedication Mr. Gregory has shown us is truly something I have never experienced before and will never forget. Not only is his knowledge of medical issues and the law extremely impressive. There is also the human factor and his gift of compassion, resourcefulness and thoughtfulness about every person or potential client who is fortunate enough to contact him. He demonstrates outstanding strength of character. I cannot stress enough what a phenomenal attorney and person Russell Gregory is. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled attorney, that specializes in many areas including, medical malpractice, birth trauma and personal trauma. Your search is over; you’ve found the best in him!

About 4 years ago my wife had made the call to ABC law centers after researching various attorneys. We had actually been give an attorney’s phone number from a friend which we called. He talked to me for about two minutes and had no interest in trying to help. He wanted us to ask the doctors what happened to our son and then get back with him.
Jesse Reiter was FAR more concerned with trying to help us find out what had caused Matthew’s condition. He and his team took over an hour talking with my wife over the phone gathering information and then sent out the necessary paperwork so they could start looking into what had happened to Matthew. Since we had twin boys, Matthew and Andrew, they assured us that this was their specialty and they would get us answers.
The process then began with more paperwork and meetings as well as creating a video documentary for the care and condition of our son Matthew. All of this was done very professionally and within our hectic schedule. At no time did we ever feel like we were being pressured and everyone was very sympathetic to our needs.
Jesse Reiter and Rebecca Walsh worked very hard for us in this 4 year process. Jesse Reiter even commented on this being one of his longest cases that he has handled, but at no time did they waiver from the end goal of finding out what had caused Matthew’s condition.
Jesse and Rebecca did an AWESOME job of being sympathetic, patient, understanding and caring in their handling of our son’s case. Because of their hard work and persistence we are now assured of Matthew’s future care. This is a HUGE weight off of our minds because, as many parents, we were concerned of Matthew’s future for when we would no longer be around.
A very big THANK YOU to Jesse, Rebecca and their team who have helped us with Matthew.
Phil, Jamie, Matthew and Andrew.

This attorney comes accross very well. However, her knowledge of the law is lacking. I found her in many lies and most of the time in an attempt to make herself look good. You would be better off defending yourself than using this attorney.
