does not speak Chinese

FYI...He does not speak Chinese. This lawyer was advertised online as speaking Mandarin Chinese which I needed for my grandmother's will..but he does not. He was very helpful, though. He was able to recommend another attorney in the area for me.

Trust this man with your life!

My divorce got ugly and I did some things that I wasn't proud of...but Mr. John E. Griswold helped me through it. He was a trusted attorney and his advice helped me through the worst of it.

GREAT LAWYER

I was so concerned about my estate. This is my second marriage and I have three grown children. My husband also has two children. I was a difficult situation. Mr. Griswold explained how we could both do wills and leave property to each other and also leave property to our respective children. It wa...s a great relief to both my husband and I and our children. He is both a good lawyer and an very nice person.

LAWYER

He has been my company lawyer for over thirty years. No matter what the legal problem, I could always count on him to do his very best. Whether it was an employee issue or a contract problem he was always there and I could count on him.

Prince of a guy!

Mr. Griswold is not only a good lawyer but a nice person. In my speeding case he reviewed all the information and actually met me on the road where I got the ticket. He did not get the case dismissed but he got it reduced. He did a good job.

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.
