About:

I am a criminal defense attorney, mostly handling matters in state court (a small percentage of my work is in federal court). The courts I appear in most often are Torrance, Long Beach, Compton and Airport Courthouse, but I also appear frequently in Bellflower, Westminster, Fullerton, Downtown LA (both at the Clara Shortridge Foltz and Metropolitan courthouses), Downey, Santa Ana and East Los Angeles. I also do appear in Rancho Cucamonga, West Covina, El Monte and Pomona courts, but not too often. I handle all levels of criminal matters, from murder down to public urination, from DUI to domestic violence, from shoplifting to embezzlement, drug sales to prostitution, misuse of a disabled person parking placard to rape and, it seems, every type of crime in between. I have over 20 years of experience and I do make a big effort to stay on top of the latest, newest developments in the law. For example, I have written over 1,000 articles about criminal law and I have summarized over 800 of my case results on my website for potential clients to review.

"Greg Hill is the real deal. I came across an article he wrote about my case, so I reached out with some questions, and he took the time to really listen and help me out. He’s super knowledgeable and didn’t rush me or make me feel like I was wasting his time. Honestly, it’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares like that. He gave me solid advice and helped me figure out my next steps without any pressure. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff and actually takes the time to help, I highly recommend him."

"I hired Greg Hill back in 2021 to represent me in a DUI case, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. From our first meeting, Greg was very professional and responsive, always getting back to me within a reasonable time. What truly stood out was how he treated me. Unlike my previous lawyer, who wanted me to plead guilty without considering my options, Greg saw me as a person rather than a criminal. He guided me through the entire process, showing genuine respect and understanding. As a fellow veteran, it was comforting to know he understood my situation on a deeper level. I would 100% recommend Greg Hill to anyone in need of legal assistance. His dedication and support made a significant difference in my case, and I'm writing this review so that others can see what a great lawyer he is! MOST RECENT UPDATE: It has been three years since my DUI case, and I am planning to hire Greg Hill again to help terminate my probation and expunge my record. He is truly the best at what he does and consistently prioritizes the needs of his clients."
