About Henry

For 35 years, Grimes Teich Anderson LLP has protected the rights & interests of thousands of people.

I am a North Carolina Board Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist and have been an attorney in North Carolina for 35 years.   My partner, S. Janson Grimes and I founded the law firm Grimes and Teich in 1979.   With the addition of attorney Scott M. Anderson a few years ago, we became Grimes Teich Anderson LLP.   Our firm now serves clients in 8 offices in North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.  Our main priority has always been to help protect the rights of the injured whether they have been hurt on the job or in other types of accidents or injured because of bad drugs and defect products.  We represent clients with social security disability claims and we represent clients with employment law issues including, but not limited to, discrimination and FMLA concerns.  Grimes Teich Anderson also represents veterans with veterans' law issues.

Worker's Comp settlement

Posted by

Mr. Teich was extremely thorough and spent a great deal of time making sure I understood everything that was going on. My very first visit he spent literally hours going over things with me, and that was before he even excepted the case. We were going against a giant entity in the community and he stood up for me every step of the way. He is a kind man, and truly believes in what he does and wants to help people who don't have a voice or the ability to go up against Goliath. I would recommend him to anyone and my only regret is that I won't get to spend time with him any longer. He is a true genuine soul.

Great lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Teich took control of my case and got results quick. He kept me informed and up to date on every aspect of my case and explained every detail in a way I could understand. He along with his awesome staff got the surgery I needed approved and got me out of pain and back to work. I would and already have recommended him to other folks that have found themselves in a state of what do I do now? Best decision I ever made.

Mr. Teich is the one to call!! :)

I was seriously injured in a work related incident in June, 2012. After trying to deal with Workman's Comp on my own for several months, which was futile, I contacted Grimes, Teich, Anderson for legal representation. Mr Henry Teich explained the process to me and started handling my case immediately. What a great relief to finally have the medical treatments I needed and I no longer had to deal with Workman's Comp. I would highly recommend Mr. Henry Teich to anyone who has suffered a workplace injury. Although my medical treatments are still ongoing, and will be for a long time, Mr. Henry Teich, his Personal Assistant and Office staff were always helpful and courteous whenever I had any questions or concerns. Without Henry, I could not have done this alone.

Excellent attorney

I had the pleasure of being a client of Mr. Henry Teich. After being injured on the job, I became exhausted trying to deal with worker comp while going back n forth to doctors and physical thearpy. I met another lady that was using Mr. Teich on Her WC case and highly recommended him to me and I am so glad she did. Mr. Teich and his staff are very knowledgable and will fight for your best interest. I would not have gotten the proper medical care and treatment had it not been for him. Mr. Teich was on vacation outside the country, but still called to check on me and go over a concern I had....what attorney would take the time to do that? Mr. Teich and his staff treats you with respect and always keeps you informed of your case. I highly recommend Mr. Teich and I would not hesitate to use him again if the need arises. Thanks again for getting me through a very difficult time in my life!

Excellent Customer Service

Posted by

I hired Mr. Teich to handle a workers comp claim for me after getting the run around trying to do it for myself. He had been referred to me by a friend. His knowledge, experience and his "taking charge" of my case made things a lot less stressful on me. He treated me with great respect and made me feel I was being represented to the best ability. He has a great office staff. Everyone kept me well informed during the entire process. Mr. Teich was the best choice for me.
