I was born and raised in and around New Haven, Connecticut. I earned my bachelor's degree from Boston College and my juris doctor from Marquette. After working as an associate attorney for Jazlowiecki  & Jazlowiecki in Bristol, I opened my own office in New Haven in December 2012.

I represent individuals, businesses, state and municipal entities, owners, developers, tenants and lenders in a variety of business and commercial real estate transactions, including land acquisition, development, leasing, and project finance. I have closed transactions involving a broad range of real estate development structures and financing vehicles, including mezzanine financing, equity investment, and securitized loan defeasance. I also represent owners, sponsors and lenders of affordable housing developments utilizing a myriad of financing sources including federal, state and local funding programs, tax credit equity syndication and institutional loan financing.

I provide alternative legal services that most attorneys do not provide. Legal coaching is an affordable, cost effective approach to the traditional legal services model. I provide "pay as you go" legal advice and support so that everyone can feel comfortable in retaining an attorney.. Whether you can afford an attorney or not, legal coaching may be attractive to you because you are either budget conscious or have limited financial resources. Maybe you believe you can do a lot of the work yourself and just need some guidance.  Nevertheless, I take you step by step and walk you through the process. You pay for what you need. And if you decide somewhere down the road that you want me to take over your case, we can discuss that option as well. I believe everyone should have options when hiring legal counsel. It's stressful enough when facing divorce let alone the thought of hiring a lawyer.

I practice primarily in the areas of medical malpractice defense, legal malpractice, products liability and premises liability defending hospitals, physicians, mid-level practitioners and nursing staff against claims of medical negligence.

I help people like you protect your rights.. Getting charged with a crime can be a scary experience. Not knowing how your future will be affected can be paralyzing.  That's why you want an attorney who not only has experience, but understands what you're going through.  My firm was built on the principle: Innocent until proven guilty.  Being charged with a crime doesn't always mean you did something wrong -- good people make mistakes, and everyone deserves a proper defense.. I'm a criminal defense lawyer because it's more than just a job - it's who I am. I give each case the careful attention it deserves, and work closely with clients to ensure their best interests are carefully served.  I create and maintain open communication with clients through all stages of their case.  My job is to establish an atmosphere of trust and respect, and understand the challenges my clients are facing.. As your attorney, I'll do the same for you because you are more than a client: You are a person who matters.

I have a broad commercial civil litigation practice including ERISA, environmental, zoning, directors and officers, products liability, financial and employment litigation.  I also represent clients in state and federal court, at the trial level and on appeal, in arbitrations, and before various administrative agencies including the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.. I serve as general and labor and employment counsel for many clients, providing both counseling and litigation services. I regularly counsel and represent clients on various liability and regulatory issues as well as a wide range of labor and employment issues such as traditional labor relations, discrimination, harassment, terminations, layoffs, reasonable accommodations for disabled employees, the investigation of employee complaints, application of the state and federal family and medical leave acts, and interpretation of the wage and hour laws. Also in employment law, I draft and provide advice on employment contracts, restrictive covenants, severance agreements, and the implementation of employment manuals, policies and procedures.

I Focus on clients and their issues in a practical and goal oriented way. I aim for a particular outcome based on what the client requires. Sometimes that’s money. Sometimes it’s “other”, like a town approval or a tenant out of their unit.. My goal is always to resolve matters to my client's full satisfaction in a timely manner, within the bounds of what the law allows. Whether that is through negotiation, or litgation, or some other alternative, I have the experience to guide my clients to successful resolutions of their matters, or to connect them with other professionals who can do so. As a (relatively) young and social lawyer, I am active in the community and have developed a network of trusted, qualified legal professionals (lawyers, outside paralegals, legal advisors) who handle matters that I do not. I also have a deep network of other professionals like realtors, banks, accountants, investment advisors, non traditional funders, mortgage originators, inspectors, surveyors and environmental consultants that I work with on a regular basis who treat my clients respectfully. These personal relationships make a big difference in cost, quality, and outcome.. I also have the wonderful asset of working with my father and his 50 plus years of experience, so when I have a question, I can always consult with him. I hope to continue the tradition of excelence that my father has delivered for over half a century.. Lastly, I am deeply committed to my City, New Haven. (I love Connecticut and all it’s towns and cities too but New Haven is my #1) I have lived here for 38 years and have no intention of ever leaving. Through the zoning work I do I want to shape the physical future of New Haven for the better. Particularly, I support responsible development without unnecessary oversight or interference by anyone or anything that shouldn’t get the opportunity to erect barriers in the way of someone trying to better this City. I support the vested rights of land owners and the logical extension of those deeply important rights; development, full use, minimal interference, and so much more.. I have learned that much of being good at a job, any job, is having the personal connections with all the people that influence the outcome of a matter.  At this point in my career, I think I have those relationships in place and have earned the trust from the people I interact with regularly. I aim to grow these relationships every time I meet someone new and I think it’s working. I have contact with true decision makers in government and politics and use those relationships to the benefit of my clients without apology. I maintain these relationships in a deeply honorable and appropriate way in full compliance with legal requirements and ethical standards. But I think my honesty and openness with those in “power” makes me a credible and believable partner and I expect the same honesty and integrity from my clients.

His experience in the healthcare market, its accompanying regulatory constructs and related business matters, spans decades and provides his clients the understanding necessary to navigate the changing healthcare landscape.. Healthcare issues that Greg often addresses includes how providers can successfully negotiate new market ventures and grow their business strategically while operating within policies and legal regulations.

The business issues that hospitals, doctors, lab companies, and other healthcare providers face are extremely complex. Greg works with clients to establish business relationships such as partnership agreements, corporation agreements, noncompetition agreements, compensation arrangements, and provider contracts. The agreements and contracts are crafted to provide the legal structure for the entity to operate effectively, and constructed with the objective of avoiding future disputes.. There are numerous types of disputes that might arise within the healthcare industry; between providers and payors, doctors and hospitals, senior and junior doctors, and partnerships. Within the arena of dispute resolution and mediation Greg assumes the patient/provider perspective and works as an advocate for the patient or provider. In a recent arbitration, a national ancillary healthcare service provider claimed that a national payor entity had wrongfully denied over 30,000 claims for reimbursement. The provider contract between the parties called for the parties to attempt a resolution of the dispute by unstructured negotiations, but when those negotiations failed, both parties submitted the dispute to a panel of three arbitrators. Attorney Pepe, appointed by the national healthcare provider as one of the arbitrators, together with the other arbitrators, worked with both parties to achieve resolution. The emergence of large healthcare provider groups and networks presages large and complex arbitrations when the parties have disputes.. Attorney Pepe has been an advisor to a number of state medical societies, including the Connecticut State Medical Society, regarding physician practice management issues within the context of organized medicine and initiation of litigation by medical societies against managed care companies.  Greg also represents numerous physician groups, including large integrated practices, IPAs, PHOs, and others involved in healthcare law issues.
