"Hiring Paul from the very beginning was easily the best decision I could have made for my case. His knowledge in every aspect gave me the utmost confidence that I had the best person on my team. His empathy and careful consideration of me as a person, as well as an athlete, is sincerely appreciated. He helped me overcome the most difficult process of my athletic career, and for that I am eternally grateful. If not for him, I would not be in the position to continue living out my dream."
-Madilyn Nickles, USA Softball
Having Paul represent my son was absolutely the best decision we could have made in this very challenging and complex world of sport sanctions. His knowledge of case precedent, applicable artifacts, and overall guidance on the whole process was second to none. He was always available and extremely professional in his words and actions. Over and above his immense sports law knowledge, what set Paul apart was his empathy and the efforts that he took to really get to know my son and our family through the process - he felt like part of the family. I just couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Paul.
-Bruce McDonald (Father of Grant McDonald, University of Calgary Football Player)
"Paul is brilliant, dedicated and honest . . . and a triple threat to anyone that goes up against him. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Paul again and again."
- Asafa Powell, Olympic gold medalist and former 100 meter world record holder
"Mr. Greene’s experience regarding sports organizations and USOC, proved invaluable. All issues were resolved to great satisfaction, without any law suits, saving the ATJA many dollars."
- Peter Contardo, President ATJA Judo
"Paul helped make an incredibly difficult time, as smooth as it could possibly be. His strong passion and commitment to my case was consistent throughout the entire process. And at times when I struggled to keep tenaciously pushing forward, Paul led the way and was my champion.
I am forever thankful!"
- Ajee' Wilson, current 800 meter American record holder
"Matthew was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed . . . impossible. . . . I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Matthew without reservation or hesitation."
