Gregory Mottla

Greg’s avid commitment to pro bono work involves working with various veterans advocacy groups as well as at-risk high school students. Most recently, Greg prevailed in obtaining a discharge upgrade for a decorated veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and was dishonorably discharged due to his mental state. This favorable result upgraded the veteran’s Dishonorable discharge to that of General (Under Honorable Conditions), allowing the veteran to obtain military death honors posthumously as well as receive combat and service medals for his prior service record.

Greg also plays an active role in the firm’s summer recruiting program and served as a summer associate recruiting manager for the Washington office.
