As a teenager growing up in the housing projects of Detroit, Greg Mathis was well on his way to a life of crime.

But, as a promise to his dying mother, Mathis vowed to change his ways. At age 18, he turned his life around - earning his GED (high school equivalency), continuing on to college and earning a Juris Doctorate degree. Despite insurmountable obstacles and odds, Mathis was elected a Superior Court Judge for Michigan's 36th District, becoming the youngest judge in Michigan history.

Judge Mathis brings an entirely unique perspective to his dealings with people. He's compassionate, yet street smart, and not about to tolerate disregard for the law. He runs his courtroom with a very no-nonsense style, often using himself as an example to those who appear before him.
