A Hard Hitting Aggressive Attorney That Get You the Win!

I retained Adam after speaking with him, to litigate a law suit to settle a dispute in Washington County Md..... Before it was settled, Adam had the opposing Attorney eating out of his hand, the suit was settled and needless to say, We won overwhelmingly ....without going to Court......Great Law firm... and Super Lawyer! 5 Stars all the way........

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I am very pleased with Mr. Grievell's representation.

Mr. Grievell represented me in my case to retrieve a sum of money that a private person, a high-ranking scientist, had siphoned out of my government pension. My opponent's lawyer was a prestigious, very expensive, experienced attorney, with a strident, confident, commanding demeanor, in and out o...f the Courtroom. She had won many awards and accolades from her peers, had held several prestigious Bar Association positions, and been ranked as one of the top lawyers in her field, in all of Maryland. She tried to intimidate Adam, but was unsuccessful. He has a backbone of steel. My opponent lied up to the very end of the process, but we were so well-prepared that we caught the lies and had the documentation to prove it. We won my case, without deceit, trickery, or smooth talking. My opponent had to pay me back every penny of the money he stole from me. I am very pleased with Adam's representation in my case. He has integrity.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
