What is Greg’s most memorable case?
Greg’s most memorable case is from early in his career. He had a client who had received a trash violation ticket. Greg looked up the city laws and discovered a law that states that a notice must be given before a ticket and a fine. He brought this to the judges and prosecutors attention and they did not know this law existed. The city then had to go back and change its entire procedure for how they give trash violation tickets.
