Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney
Words cannot describe how great of an attorney Charles Grose is. I would recommend Charles to anyone that ever finds themselves needing a criminal attorney. I was facing some very serious criminal charges (something that I was fasley accused of) charges that had a sentencing of 25 years to life. Charles is committed to his job as an attorney, which in return means he is committed to his clients. Charles is upfront, serious and straightforward with his clients, he takes his calling as an attorney very serious. Charles listens to what his clients has to say and takes down very detailed notes when you meet with him. Charles is very knowledgeable and has the experience to represent his clients throughly. Charles knows the laws and was always prepared when we went to court. Charles did diligent research of other cases very similar to mine to get examples that supported his arguments that he was presenting to the jurors in order to use those examples as exhibits in my case. Charles was easily accessible: via texts, phone calls and emails with proficient turn around time in getting back in touch with me. I am so thankful that Charles Grose represented my case.

Highly Recommend Mr. Grose
Mr. Grose was able to spend time on the phone and as well during the weekend to meet with me in his office. Mr. Grose was as thorough and helpful. Mr. Grose didn't have to help me like he has done. But he did. In a time when lawyers take a lot of flack / promote about their fees and their job it is refreshing to see Mr. Grose who did a great job and care for his clients also give thanked to his staff.
