Client Reviews

  • I received First Degree burns during an elective cosmetic procedure performed by a very careless anesthetist. Even though I signed a “Liability Waiver” before my procedure, Mr. Gray was able to overcome this and I received a very fair settlement. I am very impressed with Mr. Gray and greatly appreciated his professionalism and tenacity. He gets a 5/5 Rating!
    Rochelle I.
    Simply put, Mr. Gray kicked ass! Anyone hurt in a car wreck MUST hire Robert Gray.
    Alex V.
    Great experience with Mr. Gray and his office. Mr. Gray was very attentive to my dog bite case and settled the matter quickly and professionally. I would certainly recommend his legal services for any injury claim.
    Andrea M.
  • Mr. Gray is a lawyer you can really feel comfortable with and trust. He’s a smart, experienced, “regular guy” that resolved my car wreck case quickly and professionally. I strongly recommend his services for any personal injury case.
    Mary H.
    Mr. Gray was able to quickly get policy limits from the at-fault driver. He helped me get needed medical attention as well. I am very pleased.
    Gertha F.
    I have a lot of faith and trust in Mr. Gray. He won my Social Security Disability case years ago and I immediately turned to him when I was hurt in a car wreck. He really knows what he’s doing and I would never call anyone else for my legal problems.
    Ronnie D.
  • I needed an experienced attorney for my slip and fall case. I definitely did not want one of the big, impersonal advertising Firms that treat you like a “number”. Attorney Gray was a perfect fit for me. I loved the small personable boutique feel and I never had trouble speaking to Mr. Gray. He was always available to me and made me very comfortable. He settled my case for more money than I ever thought possible. I would never consider using anyone else for a personal injury case.
    Kim W.
    “There appeared to be no hope for my personal injury case. I was an uninsured motorcyclist hit by an uninsured automobile and was wrongly cited by the police for the accident. Mr. Gray refused to give up and actually discovered “Uninsured Motorist” insurance to pay for my damages. Great settlement. Thank you Mr. Gray for great lawyering.”
    Anthony L.
    I highly recommend Mr. Gray. I had given up on pursuing my auto accident case. Too stressful. Out of the blue, I get a call from Mr. Gray announcing he had gotten me this great settlement. Thank you to Mr. Gray and his staff.
