Jeffery Greco
Attorney Jeffery Greco
Jeffery Greco
Jeff Greco is a former prosecutor who now puts his experience to work for those accused of crimes in New York City state and federal courts. Jeff Greco understands the way prosecutors work, and he uses that knowledge to protect the rights and build the strongest possible defense strategy for his clients.
Jeff has long held an ambition to protect those whose liberty is at stake after being accused of a crime. A defendant has the incredible weight of the government against him or her, with its nearly infinite resources — especially in the case of federal prosecutions. As a former assistant district attorney and narcotics prosecutor, Jeff knows the tactics the other side uses and knows how to fight them.
Further, he has extensive training on how police investigate DWIs. He has been certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to actually conduct standardized field sobriety tests and spot controlled substance use in drivers as a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). He also has been trained at Harvard Law School in DUI Defense tactics.
This training allows him to identify missteps by police, which he can then use to call the prosecution’s evidence into question. Without sufficient solid evidence, the charges against a client get reduced or dismissed entirely.
It is part of the approach of Greco Neyland, PC: To walk into a courtroom prepared to fight, and to wage that fight well. No matter how hopeless or difficult a case may seem, Jeff Greco will make every effort, conducting a thorough investigation into all allegations and all circumstances surrounding those allegations to identify every defense.
Jeff is committed to an open, transparent relationship with clients. He keeps them informed at every step. He is always honest with clients about their chances and the options they have, so they can make the best decisions.

Mehdi never doubted me, and was so personable to work with. He was consistently available to answer my questions, and felt more like a friend than a lawyer. He was extremely thorough, and was able to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend this firm.

They really help me a lot especially Attorney Mehdi Essmidi.... he answered all my questions, informed me all the details that i need to know, encouraged and understand me, and believes me. I had a lawyer before who gave up on me and wanted me to plead guilty on this case. I thank God, He, let me found this law firm and hired them. Now, my case got dismissed!!! ... i could not ask any result better than that. If anybody needs a lawyer, i suggest, do not hesitate to hire them, it is worth every penny.

From the first moment that Jeff answered my call very early on a Monday morning, I knew that I had found the best attorneys for my son. He helped calm my fears and Medhi called me just about every hour to give me updates on the progress of getting my son out of jail. Both Mehdi & Jeff answered calls and texts on weekends, at nights, during holidays. Mehdi worked tirelessly to get the best possible outcome for my son. He patiently answered any questions I had. I'm grateful beyond words that he basically saved my son's future.

From the first consult with Mehdi Essmidi I was put at ease about my situation. Mehdi was confident and professional. He was always easy to reach and explained every step of the process clearly. At the end of several months even the judge said what Mehdi did for me was remarkable, but Mehdi said he would’ve kept fighting it if it wasn’t for my time constraints with work. I place my whole confidence in Mehdi and Greco Neyland, PC and would recommend them every single time.

The attorneys at Greco Neyland NYC are reliable, straight forward, efficient, and incredibly effective. After meeting with me, Jeff believed that he could help me; thanks to him and Mehdi I was cleared of all charges and now I am happy to say that they were able to prove my innocence.

Can't recommend this group highly enough. Jeff was fast, professional, and knowledgeable when responding to my inquiry while I was in an extremely difficult situation. I was working with Mehdi who couldn't have been more caring and clear. He consistently made sure I was understanding each part of the process and that I was comfortable with the actions we were taking. Mehdi went above and beyond for me and because of that I got the outcome I was hoping for. Mehdi even took the time to update my family so they could understand the process as well. I can't thank them enough for how much they helped me through one of the most stressful incidents in my life.

I am very excited that Mehdi and Jeffrey were able to get my entire case dismissed and sealed. They were very attentive to my immigration status, time constraints of my case and my professional needs. Mehdi and Jeffrey were able to pull off a perfect resolution to my case.

I was struggling to find an attorney that could match my needs and I stumbled on Mehdi through the web the week of my court appearance. He got 3 counts of misdemeanors down to just a day of community service and with a 6month period of good behavior to have it sealed away completely as this was my biggest fear of having a record for 1 bad drunk night out. Very down-to-earth guy easy to communicate , and overall a smooth attorney to work with helped made the process easy to understand. I'm still surprised at how he pretty much only had a day to prepare but nailed it in courtroom to have my case pretty much dismissed. A1 attorney ,effecient, and just overall pleasant experience . Highly recommend!!!! Best of luck Mehdi thanks again.

Thank you Greco Neyland, my experience with them was amazing! As a college student who may need student loans in the future and will be looking for jobs in the business sector I ended up getting into some trouble that could have effected me in the future. From start to begging Mehdi gave me reassurance and told me not to stress. I'm thankful that he was there to help me because they were able to get my case dismissed in just one court date.

A lawyer friend referred me to Jeff. He was real with me about expectations and jail time was a real possibility. I expected the worst but hoped for the best. It took no time for him to get me an amazing deal with the judge. Five stars isn't enough to reflect his true value as an attorney.

I found myself in legal trouble during the summer of 2018 - a foreign, unenviable, and emotionally exhausting situation to say the least. Until I met and sat wit Brian that I felt a sense of relief. Consultation was extensively insightful and informative. I'm happy to say, a few months later, the best possible outcomes were attained, my life is on track towards normal again.

Incredible attorney. He accepted my case and explained his strategy. His confidence calmed me down during this stressful situation. He is very well prepared and likes to have things ready ahead of time. When the court day came, he was able to get my charges dropped to a lesser charge. He made the best out of an bad situation. I would definitely recommend him.

I was referred to this firm by a friend who also happens to be their client. Jeff's long time experience, professional connections, and respect he has in the law enforcement community have led to the successful dismissal of my case. Hire him.

They did an extraordinary job with my case that money couldn't buy. The results were the only thing that I cared about because me having anything on my record would caused me to lose my career. The time and consideration they give their clients is outstanding and I truly appreciate the effort that they put in. hey did everything for me and Handled it professionally.

It is not until one is faced with a legal matter that one realizes that our legal system is far from perfect, and that innocence does not necessarily exempt you from legal jeopardy. Once caught in a legal matter, there is an emotional and stressful toll to pay which derives from the uncertainty of the unknown. I am very pleased and grateful that I was able to retain Brian’s services to attend to a most unpleasant experience. Throughout the duration, Brian was supportive and understanding. He explained legal lingo in terms that I could understand and often forwarded links to source where I could further understand the matters at hand. Brian displayed a commanding knowledge of his field while exercising caution in offering advice out of his area of expertise. While it is apparent that Brian is adroit in the courtroom, I was able to ascertain that he is a warm and caring professional. As my case developed and eventually unfolded into a very successful resolution, I was very happy and grateful that I had Brian Valerio in my corner.

I hired Jeff Greco and his colleague Brian Valerio to represent me in a dubious disorderly conduct charge, and I can say with full certainty that if you are in a similar position, they are the guys for you. From beginning to end, they were by far the most professional team I consulted, and as a result they were the ones I chose to represent me in court. At the hearing, the judge initially handed out an ACD, but Brian Valerio cleverly argued against the ruling and got the case completely dismissed within a few minutes. Greco Neyland is on the more expensive side, but if you have the means to bring these guys on board, they are worth the investment. This is your future, after all!

Choosing Brian was THE BEST decision we ever made. Through the entire process, Brian tried his best to fight for the best result, met with the assigned ADA and we were eventually able to get the case dismissed straight away. We could never asked for a better result! Brian has a strong personality in court, and we have complete faith that he would do his best to fight for us. To those who are looking for an attorney --- Brian Valerio is the guy!

When I found myself in trouble I was referred to Jeff Greco as the solution to my problem. The first day I walked into his office and talked with him and his associate Brian Valerio to explain my case. Their level of attention to work and get the best results in my case was beyond my expectations. Both, Jeff and Brian, would provide me with answers every time I had a question regarding my case, without a doubt, they were always available to provide me the best service. Jeff and Brian managed to minimize my charges. To this day, I am very thankful I selected the right team to solve my case. Best attorneys you can have on your side. -Christian S

At first it was hard to find the proper dedicated attorneys in the Westchester Area for my needs but once I came across Greco Neyland attorneys I knew for sure that they would handle my needs with passion and care as they proved to do so. Jeff and Brian are both dedicated, knowledgable and passionate attorneys that alleviated a lot of stress and confusion, for that I am appreciative and I definitely would recommend anyone who is in need of an attorney to reach out to Greco Neyland Attorneys at Law.

Jeffrey Greco is a friend in need! My best friend acquainted this firm with me and I am extremely grateful for having them to assist us with my case. It happened a few months ago, I got a speeding ticket going 90 mph in a 50 zone and caught driving under the influence of liquor. Within only two or three weeks working with this firm, my case was diminished to a negligible fine with 30 day community service. They were exceptionally expert and they made the whole procedure simple and stressful. I exceedingly recommend this firm!

My sister found Greco Neyland through the internet search and we were very impressed with the reviews we read from their previous clients. I contacted this firm and they were able to respond immediately. Set an appointment with them for consultation and came the next two days. As I arrived, the staffs greeted with smiles on their faces and assisted us quickly. Explained to them about my situation, submitted my ticket and paid a small fee. They made the whole process very easy and quick. My case was dismissed after a couple of weeks. Thank you guys! Really appreciate everything!

I recently had to make use of Jeffrey's professional help and he was impressive from start to finish. I was considering of leaving the country to avoid facing consequences after being pulled over and charged with DUI for alcohol but he was brutally honest and not the type to fool around. He doesn't take it lightly. He was very professional and the outcome was better than expected. I would refer anyone who gets into trouble to him and his team they are great!

Bad things happen to good people and proper representation is a hot commodity in modern society. When I met Greco, , I realized this man didn't know what sugar coating meant, because he was very upfront and honest with me, as to what I was needing, even though I kept trying to deny it. If you want the best, look no further because Greco Neyland is second to none!

Don't waste your freedom and fund on money shark attorneys who take no personal pride in your case. Greco Neyland is a great lawyer who is responsible enough to guide and care for you. He understands and is very knowledgeable and confident in what he does, and he delivers excellent results. Now that I'm through it all, he's the only attorney I would refer a friend or family member to. Thank you again.
