Since 2016, his recoveries against drug and medical device manufacturers alone have amounted to over $100,000,000. As a result of his success, Greg was listed in The Best Lawyers in America in 2022 and again as 2024 as a Lawyer of the Year.

Greg is licensed in Kentucky and Indiana, as well as multiple federal courts. He is a member of the Kentucky Justice Association (“KJA”) where he serves on the board of governors, and is an member of the American Association for Justice (“AAJ”). Although he has a reputation as a fierce advocate for plaintiffs, Greg actually started his career on the other side of the courtroom. He was a medical malpractice defense attorney for years. That experience has proven invaluable in his work today, where he applies what he knows about defensive strategies.
Greg and his firms are active in charitable pursuits in Kentucky. For instance, Becker Law serves as the as a Community Champion partner for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in Kentucky. Governor Andy Beshear has appointed him as the Chairman of the Board for the Kentucky Performing Arts which administers the Kentucky Center for the Arts and other performance venues. These are only a few examples of the commitment that Becker Law has to give back to the communities it serves.
