After Iraq Practice, Veteran Fights for Consumer Justice at Home
After being shot at and mortared while serving in the U.S. Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps in Iraq several years ago, the daily difficulties of fighting for consumer justice back home in South Florida don’t seem daunting to Gregory Weiss. He says his biggest challenge was dealing with a medical issue his daughter faced as a newborn.
Nor does he complain about his service in Iraq between early 2004 and 2005. “We got to help the commander fulfill their mission of military justice, and my soldiers all made it through. While we got shot at and mortared, no one that I was responsible for was injured or killed,” the 35-year-old tells the Palm Beach Post.
The Army, adds Weiss, who joined the Army’s R.O.T.C. program while still an undergrad at the University of Florida, has “been very good to me.” He earned his law degree at UF in 1998.
A community member’s blog post in the TC Palm provides further details about his background and work as a partner at the Leopold-Kuvin consumer justice law firm.
An article in the Daily Business Review discusses one of his pro bono cases.
