Greg Salyards
Your Personal Attorney for Private and Business Matters.
Law Firm Of J. Gregory Salyards, Attorney At Law, LLC
I am your personal attorney for private and business needs. I run a small office so that I am affordable for the people who need me the most. If you need help and don’t want to pay for a large team of lawyers to work on your matter, then call me to see if I can help you. My business is based on the old family doctor model. I am dedicated to treating the legal needs of the whole person by developing an ongoing, personal client-attorney relationship focused on integrated care. Most problems I can take care of quickly. For those unique problems that you may have, I may call in a specialist and consult with other lawyers having unique skill sets. I work this way with you, consulting with other lawyers on specialized matters, so that I may deliver a high degree of expertise and advice at an affordable price.
The personal lawyer model has been around for many years but has been typically only available to the very wealthy and large businesses. The “family lawyer” or “firm lawyer” was placed on retainer to represent a wealthy family in all of their legal issues. It was common for such a relationship to span multiple generations within a family.
In unique matters, a personal lawyer serves you by consulting with other attorneys who specialize in unique areas of the law. In very complicated cases, a personal lawyer may retain other attorneys to work on a portion of your case and the personal lawyer serves as a legal manager for you to make certain the work is done efficiently and economically.
My desire is to place the concept of a personal lawyer within reach of individuals, families, and businesses. I represent individuals and the businesses that they work hard to build.
This firm is built upon the ideals of honesty, excellence, and hard work. We’re committed to performing our best for our clients and for ourselves. We believe in giving back to our community, and this principle is brought to life through the active and enthusiastic support we provide local business, cultural and social service groups. We like what we do and we like who we work with.
