Greg Hill

Greg Hill, a former Marine, is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate (Annapolis) and has been practicing criminal law for over 15 years as a criminal defense lawyer. He has been recognized by the National Advocacy of DUI Defense (NAFDD) as one of the top 100 DUI Defense Attorneys in California as well as one of the 15 Best Criminal Defense Attorneys in the United States for 2014 as featured in Newsweek.com.

A large number of his cases involve the most common offenses, such as DUI, domestic violence and petty theft in Torrance, Long Beach, Compton and the LAX courthouse, however, he has defended others in less commonly seen offenses such as animal cruelty, embezzlement, prostitution (male and female), attempted murder, child abuse, sex offenses and check kiting in more distant courthouses. He approaches each case with gusto, as if he is defending a member of his family. He greatly enjoys his work.

Greg is one of only a few U.S. Naval Academy graduates to pursue a career in law following his service to our country. While in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1987 to 1994 following his graduation from the Naval Academy, Greg served as a Second Lieutenant, then First Lieutenant and Captain. He served in Operation Desert Storm, where he flew 35 combat missions over Iraq in the EA-6B Prowler, a jet. Greg had over 1,000 hours of flight time. Greg travelled all over the world while in the Marines.

Greg believes it was this time in his life, as a leader of young men, that gives him an ability to understand his clients better than most other attorneys. In college, Greg ran on the varsity cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track teams for all four years. He graduated with honors and later went on to earn a Master’s in Business Administration from Boston University and a law degree from Loyola Law School, where he was Senior Articles Editor on the International Law Journal.
