In 1992, Greg successfully completed the United States Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Virginia, and was commissioned as a 1st Lieutenant.

As a City of Seattle Prosecutor, Greg was appointed to a position in the "High Impact Offender Project," where he was responsible for the prosecution of the most serious repeat offenders. He gained invaluable experience negotiating, resolving, and trying cases.
As both a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney, Greg has handled literally thousands of cases, including successfully litigating hundreds of cases up to and through trial. His significant training and experience on both sides of the judicial aisle have allowed him to emerge as a seasoned advocate for his clients.
