Law Offices of Gregory D. Jordan

I have had several occasions to use Greg as my attorney and each time his professional approach and advice has proven very beneficial. He has helped negotiate contracts, aided me in collecting a disputed debt, and offered advice on expanding my business. His friendly, yet professional approach makes him a asset to my professional career.

I work in the product development industry where signing a non-​compete is the status quo with any new employer. Now, in my 13 years of being a design professional, many employers require that you sign their non-​compete due to the secretive and competitive nature of product development, but many do not enforce it even when an employee leaves and goes to a competitor. I thought that would be the case when I moved to Austin to work at a local consultancy. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Recently, I was offered a job at that I was concerned would violate the non-​compete that I signed many years ago. Knowing that my current employer would seek legal action if I were to leave, I contacted several law firms in the Austin area that specialized in employment law. Many of the company’s took days to respond and when they finally did, they were either prohibitively expensive (even for just the hour-​long consultation) or were not interested in taking on my case. After several frustrating days, I called Greg Jordan’s office and left a voicemail. Mr. Jordan, not one of his legal aids, returned my phone call and, after speaking with him for 5 minutes, I had my consultation set up for next business day. He provided a more than fair rate for the consultation (almost half of what another firm quoted me) and even made himself available early so that I wouldn’t be late getting to work! On the Monday morning that I met with him, Mr. Jordan was great. He took the time to ask me questions to understand the intricacies on my particular situation — my job, the new job, the non-​compete, and my current employer. I greatly appreciated that he spoke in plain English while explaining Texas employment law as it pertained to non-​competes, the potential legal process that I would go through, and when answering my questions. Never once did I feel rushed or confused during my consultation or that he was anything less than an expert at the matter. Ultimately, I declined the new job for personal reasons, but I would definitely employ Mr. Jordan for any employment law matters in the future. Highly recommended!
