Origin
Poulos Law Firm Phoenix: From County Prosecutor to Solo Estate and Business Practice
Gregory Poulos earned his B.A. in Economics and Philosophy from New York University, began his legal career as a county prosecutor in 1982, and worked as an associate at Platt & Westby, P.C. before founding his own Phoenix practice roughly three years later — sources place the founding at 1983 to 1985. He has counseled clients on estate planning, probate, and business matters for more than four decades since.
Practice
Estate Planning Paired With Business and Contract Work
Poulos’s practice spans revocable and irrevocable trusts, wills, powers of attorney, special needs trusts and planning, healthcare directives, and probate administration, alongside business formation, succession planning, and commercial contract and lease review. The dual estate-and-business focus reflects a genuinely combined practice rather than an incidental sideline; client reviews specifically cite both trust work and business contract review as areas where he has been engaged directly.
Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not identify an independent, itemized case-results table for this firm, which is typical for a document- and counseling-focused estate and business practice rather than a litigation practice.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every matter is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Reviews on Martindale and attorney directories are largely positive, with clients describing Poulos as thorough, clear in explaining complex trust and international-inheritance issues, and responsive. One Avvo reviewer, however, described a negative experience in which Poulos declined to continue a matter mid-engagement and refunded the client’s payment, citing his own availability — Awesome Attorneys is including this critical review alongside the favorable ones rather than presenting only the positive feedback.
Community
Awesome Attorneys did not identify independently verifiable pro bono service, civic board membership, or policy work in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Recognition
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a Best Lawyers or Super Lawyers selection, an AV rating, or a State Bar of Arizona board certification for Poulos in the sources reviewed. His practice’s strongest evidence of quality is a substantial positive review record spanning multiple platforms alongside four decades of continuous practice.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona’s probate process is governed by Title 14 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, with the trust code codified at A.R.S. § 14-10101 et seq. Special needs trusts, one of Poulos’s named practice areas, must be carefully structured to preserve a beneficiary’s eligibility for means-tested public benefits like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income — a technical area distinct from general trust drafting. Business entity formation in Arizona is governed primarily by the state’s Limited Liability Company Act, A.R.S. § 29-3101 et seq.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Poulos’s clearest differentiator is more than four decades combining estate planning with business law counsel — a genuinely dual practice that serves clients who want one attorney handling both personal and business planning rather than two separate relationships.
The honest trade-off: this is a solo practice without board certification or independent peer-review recognition, and the one identified negative review describes a matter where the attorney’s own availability led to a mid-engagement referral elsewhere — worth factoring in alongside the otherwise strong review record when evaluating fit for time-sensitive matters.
