Gregory Light
Trial Lawyer
BACKGROUND
Greg joined The Sam Bernstein Law Firm in 2020.
Greg knew from an early age that he wanted to be an attorney. After earning a football scholarship as a walk-on for Northern Michigan University, Greg finished his degree with a major in Political science, a minor in Criminal Justice and set his eyes on law school. He completed his Juris Doctorate from the Michigan State University College of Law (FKA Detroit College of Law) in 1994.
Over the course of Greg’s career, he has successfully settled thousands of cases and tried numerous cases for his clients. His number one goal is achieving the best result possible, whether that be by settlement, arbitration, or having to take the case to trial. His practice has been focused primarily on personal injury, 10 years of which was medical malpractice.
Outside of work, Greg is blessed with his wife, Dawn, and two children, Madison and Justin. In addition to spending time with his family outside of work, Greg enjoys to golf, travel, attend movies, eat good food and spend time with the family pets.
