I contacted Greg Hill & Associates about a legal issue that turned out to be a case that only a prosecutor (district attorney or government attorney) can properly handle -- it wasn't something a private defense firm like theirs could take on at all. Even though it was clearly not a case they could accept, Greg responded to my message right away and didn't just ignore it or give a generic reply. He was completely upfront and professional: he explained exactly why this type of matter falls under the prosecutor's jurisdiction/responsibility and isn't something private criminal defense attorneys handle. He didn't try to stretch it or take my money anyway -- instead, he gave me honest, practical guidance on what I should do next, who I might need to contact (like the DA's office or relevant authorities), and some realistic expectations. In a field where some lawyers might have tried to sign me up regardless, his straightforward integrity and willingness to help even when he couldn't represent me really impressed me. No BS, no pressure -- just solid, ethical advice from someone who clearly knows the system inside out. If you're dealing with any criminal or related legal question in Southern California, reach out to Greg Hill. You'll get real talk and respect, whether it's a case he can take or one he has to refer elsewhere. Highly recommend -- 5 stars for honesty and professionalism. read more

EXCELLENT LAWER SERVICE VERRY PROFESSIONAL VERY LAWER This law firm exceeded alll expectations and also some expectations I did not know I had. Communication was frequent inbefore they were written, sometimes after they were promised, and sometimes in a bold new state. My attorney demonstrate deep mastery of legal theory, When asked for confirmation that a letter was sent, I was reassured with confidence, vibes, and supporting artifacts, which really shows seniority. Anyone can provide receipts, but it takes real experience to decline to do so with such verve. Define A+ service would reccomend. This is not a paid review this is 100% authentic thanks again have good day. read more

I contacted Greg Hill after a long-standing post-conviction matter left me stuck, and he delivered exceptional guidance that finally moved things forward. Greg is incredibly sharp and knowledgeable--he dove right into the specifics, referenced the precise legal sections, and provided a straightforward, actionable plan without wasting time. I paid for his consultation and follow-up review (very fair pricing for the level of expertise--definitely worth every penny), and he handled it professionally and efficiently. No upselling, just clear, expert advice that saved me headaches down the line. His generosity in explaining everything thoroughly made it feel like great value, not just a quick chat. Multiple people in the legal community had recommended him as one of the best for these types of issues in the South Bay/Torrance area, and the hype is well-deserved. If you're dealing with a complex rights or criminal history matter, don't try to DIY or hunt for free opinions--Greg Hill & Associates is the real deal: smart, responsive, and effective. Highly recommend paying for his time; you won't regret it. Thank you, Greg! read more

I contacted Mr Hill regarding an early termination of probation. The request was granted with well over a year remaining. I also retained Mr Hill shortly after regarding an expungement for a misdemeanor. Based on my experience I will say Mr Hill is more than qualified to help you and his fees are fair given his expertise in relation to your pending circumstances. Just be honest and patient and he will absolutely do his best to ensure the best possible outcome.I highly recommend you call him. He's a solid Attorney! read more

Don't be deceived by five star reviews. Reviews are fake and bought by him. I fired him since was not doing anything for me, and when I asked him my money he got upset and called me Criminal and said no American will talk to me like this, and he hanged up. Only thing did, I asked my money back. read more

I've been looking into hiring a lawyer for something I thought was going to be really difficult and time consuming to go through the whole process. I had called a different law firm earlier in the day and they told me it would cost me FIVE THOUSAND dollars (yes, in 2023 Bidenflation dollars, so basically 10 grand), so I looked up more law firms online and found Greg's site. I decided to give them a call and ask directly for a second opinion. The receptionist spoke with me for not even 10 seconds before Greg himself got on the line and chatted with me. He gave me every single answer in a very professional and polite manner in under 5 minutes. He told me the other place was a money grab and that I could do this petition myself, and proceeded to tell me exactly how to go about it without an attorney. Very impressive. If I wasn't in a different county, I would have this man on retainer 24/7. He charged me nothing for his time and expertise, and I feel like I owe him at least a Benjamin, so I figured I would leave him this review and the recognition he deserves for taking time out of his day to help out a regular guy like me. Thanks Greg! read more

**UPDATE AS OF 5/8/2024 ON PREVIOUS REVIEW FROM JR. A few months ago I left the review above explaining my opinion towards how great of an attorney Mr Hill is and was at the time of the review. I explained that my case was pending at the time in effort for you to understand how sincere the review was towards Mr. Greg Hill. Months later, and a court hearing after, I am pleased to inform you all that I was correct in my analysis towards his work and ability in resolving my case. The case that I dealt with and had such an extreme impact in my life in a negative way for over 25 years has now been resolved. Mr Hill filed a motion to vacate under 1473.7 in effort to overturn the decision that the court granted back in 1998. What is so funny to me, and at the same time amusing, is how well his motion was drafted and how well prepared he was in court that he had the DDA and the judge both confused and both with Case law in front of them while a bench approach trying to figure out what this GUY was talking about!!! HAHAHA! It was GREAT TO SEE!! I wish I I could had taken a picture so I can post it here.! I have never seen both a DA and a Judge in my years in law or on TELEVISION trying to understand how to address or how to rule. This all goes to show you how great of a mind he is. As i mentioned before, all cases are different but if Mr Greg Hill practices in your area of need then you need to understand that he is the man you need for the job. If there is a way out or a way to help then this attorney is who you need. I am very pleased with his persona. Aside from being great counsel, he is also a great man which is why he is extremely successful. I think I have now said enough between both reviews. If you are in need for an Attorney then this is the man you need and would want. As I mentioned before, and i now reiterate on, I tried to prepare this review as a neutral as could be in reviewing the man and his work and not for a positive outcome which in this case turned out to be so. READ and TAKE my ADVICE and retain Mr Hill or DON'T and run with whatever you have in your wallet and hope for the best! (Meaning hire someone else). I think I have said enough. Thank You again Mr. Greg Hill. read more

I have to give it to Greg; he helped me with my situation. I first came to Greg about a year ago, but I was not yet eligible for the services I was requesting at the time. He said he would put my name and information on his calendar and reach out a year later when I would be eligible. To my surprise, he actually reached out. I was shocked, to say the least, but needless to say, we got started on the case, and he informed me of the status the entire way. I got the results I was looking for, and man, I am a happy client. I hope I never need another lawyer, but if I do, I will be looking towards his services for anything else I may need. Thanks again, Greg. read more

Saw an article online about Mr. Hill and some things he's accomplished so I figured I'd give him a call just in case I needed to retain him in the future . He's awesome ! Took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel much better about the situation . I'd highly recommend him if you ever need his services . I'll keep ya updated on what happens Greg ! Thanks again ! read more

December 15, 2020 at about 1am I was arrested for a DUI. I fell asleep at a light down the street from my house. I would give the whole story but just know I was targeted/felt targeted by the police. I was online trying to hurry up and find an attorney. Then I remembered that my family has their attorney. Which is Greg Hill! I cannot thank him enough because I was able to drive my car most of my wait time for my case. Not only that but Greg always kept me updated, the communication between his assistant Sandra is amazing. I did not have to go to any of my hearings because he handled everything for me. I'm just really blessed. I ended up beating two charges, walking away with a wet reckless and a few fines that is better and far lower than anything I would have paid at the end of the day. I blew a .14.... When I first got this DUI , I was so stressed out because I went to school justice. My record is completely clean and I've never been in trouble so I felt like everything was just crumbling down. Which it was but Greg and Sandra was by my side the entire time. My court date was pushed back multiple months but my final date was August 7 ....we did it! God bless GERD, the education of it & God bless Greg & Sandra. Thank you so much. read more

Attorney Greg Hill really impressed me with his willingness to help my situation even when he would not benefit from the guidance he gave me. He also knew the court system very well and knew exactly what I individually needed to do to get back my rights. Very ethical, knowledgeable attorney. read more

Mr. Hill got my rights back! I cannot recommend Greg Hill enough. He is thorough, considerate, and extremely detail oriented. He managed my expectations from the jump, and I went in with a realistic mindset. Mr. Hill takes the time to personally discuss, review, and game plan your case. He was updating me consistently throughout the process. I always felt informed. I felt seen and heard with Mr. Hill & Associates. Lastly, the value for services rendered are SUPERB. You'd be hard pressed to find a better value with this caliber of an attorney. I implore you to give Mr. Hill a call to begin your legal process. You will not regret it! read more

I cannot recommend Greg Hill enough, if you are facing a tough criminal matter there is no one else you should trust. Greg is an expert, very professional, and understanding; he asked me my goals and achieved them through systematic hard work and preparedness. Greg and Sandra both are top notch professionals who have experience and expertise; their work is beyond reproach. Fair pricing, accommodating availability, and an unceasing work ethic make Greg Hill and Sandra your best possible choice for legal defense. My overall review of Greg Hill & Associates is five stars based on two cases he helped me have dismissed over a period of nine months. The first one was a trespassing case that started when I attended classes at Cal State Long Beach while being behind on my tuition payments, but after being told by the school to go see certain faculty to be approved for reinstatement. Complicating matters at the time, I had broken up with my then-girlfriend and she thought I was "stalking" her by being on the campus. This led to a second case - she then filed a request for a civil restraining order. I was then arrested for criminal trespassing at the school and served with the civil restraining order. I knew I could use professional help navigating these two cases, so I called Greg Hill & Associates. I remember the very first call - it was before 7:00 a.m. and Greg answered the phone (hard to come by with most lawyers). He gave me clear, solid advice on what to do and what not to do. About two weeks later I hired him for both cases. Both cases were dismissed, which was and remains a great relief because I am applying for my teaching credential after having taught on an emergency credential and my school's heavy-handed approach toward me, as well as my vengeful ex's lies in the civil restraining order would have ruined this. In a way, Greg restored things to what I had worked so hard for and for that, I am very grateful. He sympathized with me and worked hard in both courthouses. I really appreciated everything. I did not want a criminal history I did not deserve or a restraining order against me based on lies. If you're unsure about whether or not to hire Greg, let this be the sign pushing you to. I am forever indebted to Greg and Sandra and I happily wrote this review. Hire them only if you want to win your case and restore your life's normalcy. read more

Straightforward, capable, and an experienced professional. Did what he said what he was going to do and resolved the situation which worked out the way he said it probably would. Would reccomend. read more

Greg Hills is my lawyer..He helped me get my felony drop to a misdemeanor then dismiss. I live out here in North Carolina now. Raised in California, any how I hired him to help clean my record so I can get my civil rights back. It took a lot of time to be patient. Even after I got my case dismiss it took a year to finally get it remove of my records. I had to go through a lot of obstacles to get my rights back. Greg Hill and associates was always responsive to anything I needed..paper work I needed to show the sheriff department of my dismissal. They are the best..they help me feel free..thank Greg Hills and associates.. read more

Mr. Hill and his team did exactly what they were hired to do. Mr. Hill appeared in court for me 5 times in the last year. Each time he delivered the outcome he said he would try to achieve. As a fellow veteran I would not hesitate to put your case in Mr. Hills hands. Remember he is there to work for you and find the best solution between you and the law. I am blessed to have had the case dismissed and behind me. Keep up the great work! read more

Greg is a fantastic attorney. Super knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and a clear communicator. Dealing with legal troubles is stressful, and for those of us not used to it, the unknown is scary. Greg's methodological and competent approach to working on the case gave me a great sense of calm. You will be in good hands with Greg! read more

This review is well over due! Mr. Hill is the most compassionate and detail oriented attorney I have ever dealt with. I had a complicated matter out of SB California from back in 2003 that I had to have vacated that I was given up on as I had been told before it would be an uphill battle, but then by luck I found this Mr. Greg Hill and associates who was able to hit the ball out of the park! Everything went better than I expected. I will forever be thankful to Mr. Hill whom I believe is a genius in his practice! Look no further if you are looking for representation! read more

Wow looks like I'll join a group of satisfied consumers. I sent An email through the website. The reply came quickly. And although he was not able to help me with, I appreciated the time and information received. The need for an attorney downs not have to be a bad thing. Sometimes professional consultation in the area of law is needed and Greg Hill's willingness to give his time to answer Questions was again, greatly appreciated read more

I interviewed at least 4 attorneys over the phone to handle a matter I needed assistance with. Talking to several attorneys gave me an idea of what the options were, average rates, and also insight into each one's knowledge on the matter. Greg contacted me right away and we reviewed the matter. He was knowledgeable, gave me a good idea where we were heading and explained the risk in each strategy. It was an easy decision to retain him. That matter was handled exactly how we planned it. A year later he contact me to let me know that we could proceed with a final step to close out the matter and this was also successful. I have contacted Greg a few times since our first communication about different matters and he was happy to help. One call was for assistance with a potential new matter. Again, we reviewed the situation and possible outcomes and he helped me with this potential matter even before it actually materialized. If a situation does unfold, he is ready to jump on it and handle it. Great guy. I would recommend him and would use him again. Thanks Greg! read more

The most knowledgeable attorney period. As a third time offender I was looking at certain serious prison time, but Mr. Greg Hill was unrelenting when he fought for me. He was able to present a compelling case that focused on my addiction as it related to my offense to both the D.A and the judge. I was fortunate to avoid jail or prison time, but it would not have been possible without the support of a great lawyer. Mr. Hill understood that I needed to be able to keep my job so I can continue to help my mother financially. I am very fortunate Mr. Hill was willing to take my incredibly difficult case, I don't believe anyone else would have fought this hard for me. Mr. Hill was always professional and kept me informed. His compassion is what makes him a unique person and is what I needed at this lowest point in my life. I am eternally in debt to you. Highly recommended! read more

The attorney is a straight shooter honest and you can't say that about to many attorneys ! He could of robbed me for alot of money and I was willing to pay anything however he didn't he let me he was honest about the situation! I have a severe disability de didn't know that he refuse to take my money and send me the in send me in the right direction! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney that is honest ! read more

I've never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer before, but this last couple months I did. I found Greg Hill & Associates and gave them a call. I didn't know what to expect, but the experience I had with them was a great one. I spoke to Mr. Hill himself and found him to be very professional and sympathetic. He patiently heard my whole story and told me what my options were and where I stand. Mr. Hill seemed to have experienced many cases similar to mine, and his knowledge on how to tackle my case made me confident to have him as my lawyer. The last couple months though I was a little wary of our arrangement because I had never met him in person, but Mr. Hill and his associate, Sandra, were both very responsive to my emails and calls (this kept my mind at ease). Although I had only spoken to him via phone or email, they never left me out of the loop and had great communication with me throughout my case. In the end I was very happy with the result of my case and I highly recommend Mr. Hill to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer. Thank you again Mr. Hill! read more

I had a case of child custody case that went bad. I was also charged with battery and domestic violence. I got out on bail and I immediately contacted Mr.Hill. I signed a retainer via email only, never met him. He never took the time to listen to my case of false accusations, nor bother to get more evidense from the court to prove my innocence but instead only showed up for my hearings didn't give me an option to show up and face the Judge or others. Ultimately my only way was to take it to trial or accept a plea offer. He never took the time to sit with me, here my story, and try to plea my innocence. I ended up hiring another Criminal Attorney 'Christopher Darden' who sat down with me, heardmy case and took it to trial. The proof and evidence was there In the reports, officer's recording and the 911 call. Conclusively I was found Not guilty in 4 counts. When an individual says I didn't do it. LISTEN because you are saving an innocent person... in my case I got cleared and avoided Family Court to see me as an unfit mother and avoided losing my daugher and getting a criminal record. The emotional and mental stress I was under he would not know of but Mr. Darden heard and took the time anytime I had a question to answer me and at times calm me down. I am so grateful to him and to god for allowing me to be a free woman that is able to continue fighting to keep my daughter by my side. read more

I felt that Greg didn't spent too much time on my case because he would forget things I would tell him when I would talk to him about them each time we would speak. Luckily my officer that arrested me didn't show up to court so all my charges had been dropped. However Something that got me also very disappointed is that Greg charged me Double because my court date had changed and I didn't know I was supposed to inform him. Im never in trouble with the law so I assumed he gets notified that my court date changed just like I do. Anyways, I felt that he shouldn't have charged me TWICE as much which totaled 4,500 thats just going over board plus I'm a busy college student so this Literally took me a whole year to pay off. After the miscommunication with Greg he seemed angry since he went to court on the wrong date and I got charged $4,500 & he didn't even defend me in court because my Officer didn't appear. What a waste of money and an inconsiderate person. Just wanted to take my money because he was mad he drove to court on the wrong date. He should just charged me $40 for gas but he's SELFISH. charged me another $2000 SMH!! UPDATE: Lawyer thinks I'm lying so I attached a Screenshot of the email of him DOUBLE Charging me. & no I was not fighting a public urination case nor did I ever "ask for $700" back because u charged me another $2000+ not $700... and I Never asked for it back. Therefore, Your review is FALSE so stop lying & charging people Double. read more

MUST READ REVIEW: I would give Greg and his staff as many stars as possible. If you are in legal trouble PLEASE READ this as I truly wish I had not opted for a public defender in my previous cases. Thanks to Greg Hill and his team I was able to stay working between hearings, be there when my son was born after my conviction, and continue to work to support my family. One year ago, I found myself charged with 3 dui's in the time of one month. This was a dark time in my life to say the least. I began to work at getting sober and at resolving the 2nd and 3rd offence, as the 1st had not filed charges. Some time around Thanksgiving of 2018 I also learned I was to be a father, as the woman I had become involved with in my sobriety was pregnant. I was still attending hearings for the other two cases, working, and trying make all of my classes. Eventually I did resolve the 2nd and 3rd offence with help of a public defender in early 2019. Though the entire process was terrifying as I was constantly either in fear of being remanded til my next hearing, or actually being remanded despite my attendance of support groups and letters from my employer. And the offer remained the max jail sentence for each case, until I was finally able to resolve them for a lesser sentence after so much time in sobriety and support groups. Here's where Greg Hill & Associates come in. No sooner had I finally resolved these two cases, when the D.A. decided this would be a good time to file charges for the very first offence. This was troubling to me as the court would undoubtedly see this first arrest as a 3rd dui, with the mandatory minimum sentence and all that comes with it. After my previous experience without private counsel I decided I could not and would not walk in to court and throw myself to the wolves on something this serious. During my initial consultation, I really came to feel as though Greg actually believed I was doing the best I could to turn my life around. I sensed a genuine concern for how these charges filed almost 9 months after the arrest could affect the new life I was trying to build in my recovery. He didn't promise to win without hearing the details of my case like all the other attorneys I had called. He just listened to my story, how it was... and how it was now. And we we worked out a plan. Sandra and Kelly were also very helpful. They answered my repeated calls and questions with re-assurance and confidence in what needed to be done, and what they could do to assist me. They sent confirmations and reminder of court dates and were always polite and courteous. I did have several calls and questions as I was a nervous wreck after finding these charges had been filed and that I had a warrant. I will always appreciate the assistance they gave me and will continue to recommend this office to anyone. Greg appeared in court to have my warrant recalled and set an arraignment date. I appeared, and the Judge did not set bail as I had some very good representation, and could demonstrate I had no intention of getting into trouble. After a few pre-trial hearings... Greg, with the mitigation packet Sandra and Kelly had helped put together, was able to convince the court to resolve this case for terms that were not only agreeable, but better than I could have ever expected for a "3rd" dui. I'm still shocked I was able to be here to witness the birth of my son and spend the first few weeks of his life with him, and continue to work and rebuild. Greg Hill is an excellent attorney and I can not say enough good about the entire staff. If you are in trouble, please consider the benefits of hiring private counsel, as they really saved me alot of time and heartache. Thanks again to everyone. read more

I hired Greg Hill & Associates to reduce three felony convictions in three different courthouses to misdemeanors.  I had called around and spoken to five or six attorneys before speaking with Greg.  All the previous attorneys agreed that reducing two of the felony convictions would be easy, but the third one involved my being sentenced to and then serving time in prison.  All the attorneys I spoke to before Greg said that no judge would reduce a felony to a misdemeanor if I served time in prison for it.  Greg said that was not necessarily so and that if the judge found good cause and the facts were misdemeanor in nature, I had a good chance.  So I hired Greg and he delivered on his word.  Greg filed motions in all three courthouses and the judges granted all three  In fact, in two of the three cases, Greg had those convictions, once misdemeanors, expunged.  He overdelivered and I underpaid, as his fees were less than a lot of other attorneys, who turned out to be inferior to Greg. read more

My wife had an issue where her identity was stolen and used for driving violations. Greg Hill honestly noted that it would be too expensive for him to help us due to the distance and that we would be better suited with a lawyer more familiar with the local court. Despite only consulting with us, he advised us thoroughly on what the situation was and the best course of action to help us get on the path to resolving the problem. He took the time to patiently work with us even though he was recommending another lawyer. Highly recommended! read more

Greg Hill and associates, Outstanding! Don't look anywhere else for an exceptional attorney to represent you in a criminal matter. I had an extremely complex issue to navigate, and Greg took the time and made the effort required to fully understand the circumstances, my position, and all of the underlying details. He was very straightforward with our agreement, billing, and I knew exactly what to expect. Let's face it - none of us want to have to retain an attorney... but if you do, I can't recommend a better one - Greg Hill.... He exceeded my expectations in all respects - very well done. I can't say enough about the fantastic work on my case. Without giving too much information about my unique situation I give this guy an A+ rating and would recommend him to anyone who has any type of legal matter. read more

Several years ago, I needed an attorney to help me with a very complex case involving the federal government. I asked a colleague for a referral and she recommended Greg Hill.

Me Greg is a sharp shooter straight to the point. He represented me and I was very happy with the results!

Claimed he did my case and that it was all taken care of 2 years later I was arrested due to him not appearing in court. After i was booked and i bailed myself out I was given a new court date he also could not successfully appear at. In the end he advised me to just pay my ticket instead of him fighting it which is what i paid him to do..... Blamed the court system for not being able to show up in court twice for me. What a waste of time and money and he did not even say sorry for failing to appear, because of HIM i was in jail for 2 days. I would stay away from Greg at all costs. I would give him 0 stars if I could. BEWARE THIS GUY HAS NO CLUE WHAT HE IS DOING. read more
