Thank you!

I was charged with a felony for a small amount of marijuana. At first, I went to one of the bigger law firms around the Triad and was told I had no shot and would be lucky to take a plea deal that would include a low tier felony conviction. This result was not acceptable to me given the small amount ...of marijuana (less than a gram). Steven and his colleague Emily awarding were able to negotiate a plea of a misdemeanor of less than a half oz of marijuana which was the exact goal I was shooting for. Based on my reading, I knew I would have to plea to something, but a felony plea would have cost my my job and my family’s livelihood. Steven and Emily were caring, throrough and accommodative. On top of it all they had a very competitive rate and have been kind enough to work with me on payment. I would highly recommend Steven and Emily to anyone who gets in a similar situation. Thank you and bless you guys!

Family Law case? Make him your first choice!!!

Over a year ago, I found Attorney Grainger. I lived in another state and needed someone to represent me in my Child Support case. Finding an attorney intimate in NC Family Law was VERY important to me. Financial limitations were an issue. Attending all of the NC Court hearings were nearly impossible...!!! He communicated with me over the phone and through emails. He listened to me!! He found out what my fears were and what I wanted to accomplish. Attorney Grainger was informative, compassionate and he worked hard for me!! He became my confidant, sounding board, adviser, mediator, my LEGAL VOICE!!! In the end my fears were silenced, my interests were addressed and my rights were protected!!! He made sure that court deadlines were met and my pockets weren't left emptied!!! Thank you, Attorney Grainger!!! My biggest regret was that I didn't find him during the early stages of my court case!! if I had, I think things may have turned out quite different for me! Don't make the same mistake that I did!! If you have legal issues, have him on your side from the start!!!

BEST Divorce - Child Custody - ED Attorney in Town!

When I found myself in the worst of situations I needed an experienced knowledgeable attorney to help me navigate the tough road ahead. Steven helped me file for a legal separation, get a temporary custody arrangement in place, file a child support order, file for divorce, go through equitable distri...bution mediation, and finally get a final custody order set up. Getting a divorce in NC is no easy task there are many different parts. I was lucky enough to have made the right call - Grainger Law PLLC. I highly recommend you do the same.

Good lawyer, very good character, highly recommended

Steve represented me very well. He had in his mind how the charge should be adjusted based on mitigating factors. He got a continuance when the first DA was uncooperative and unwilling to meet what Steve thought was reasonable. In the second appearance he got everything he asked for and I was pleased... with the outcome. His rates were very reasonable and I would recommend him without reservation.
