Experience
Greg is a former federal and state prosecutor with over two decades of experience handling white-collar financial offenses, tax evasion, internet crimes, drug trafficking, and violent crime. Greg has served as first chair litigator in over 75 jury trials, and hundreds of grand jury proceedings, suppression hearings, and sentencings.

As supervisor of a team of federal prosecutors, Greg oversaw investigations involving FBI, DEA, ATF, Homeland Security, and numerous other federal law enforcement agencies, and handled several wiretap investigations focused on drug trafficking organizations and street-level gangs engaged in violent crime. He prosecuted individuals for bank fraud, wire fraud, and healthcare fraud, public corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, Hobbs Act violations, federal firearm and narcotic offenses, and matters involving child exploitation.
Prior to that, from 2004 until 2014, Greg served as Assistant District Attorney and Assistant Attorney General in the Public Integrity Unit. In those roles, he established the Insurance Fraud Task Force to combat the rash of staged collisions in northern Essex County and convicted several attorneys, chiropractors and others engaged in the conspiracies. He also prosecuted individuals for murder, armed robbery and other violent crimes, public corruption, embezzlement, financial fraud, drug and firearm trafficking, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Upon graduation from law school, Greg practiced for five years at a major international law firm in Boston, where he represented clients in a wide array of litigation, including corporate compliance and internal investigations, white-collar defense, healthcare fraud, product liability claims, and regulatory matters before numerous federal and state agencies.
