Review John Griswold

does not speak Chinese

Posted by

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.

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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

John E. Griswold, know as "Ted," is a prince of a fellow, who is generous in sharing his practice wisdom with area attorneys, and a kind and generous man, to boot. I highly recommend him.
