Above and beyond

Mrs. Griffiths handled my case in a very professional manner and achieved a result that I was happy with. More than that however, she took the time to listen to all of my concerns and really put my mind at ease in a very stressful situation.

Mrs.

We hired Ms Griffiths under a difficult situation for my son. She was very professional. She clearly explained all of our options. She kept us updated by email, phone, and letters. She resolved our case with the best possible outcome. We are thankful for her expertise. Will absolutely call her a...gain if needed.

I visited 4 Law Firms including Deming Parker Law and when explaining and detailing my defense step by step and I could see Lawyer Katherine Griffiths very identified with my case. Without talking about money. And just explaining step by step to continue in my defense demonstrating an experience a...nd professionalism. This convinced me without thinking about the collection since it gave me the confidence I needed to move on and work to pay him in peace. Today was the end of my case. Sirs, I can guarantee you this Lawyer is the best. and make the best decision to trust her. Lawyer Trina Griffiths Thank you That you continue to reap much success in your career. You are the best.....

Best Attorney ever!

I was blessed to have been introduced to Trina when I had been given a raw deal with my first lawyer who basically threw me under the bus. ,Still in shock by what happened, someone recommended Trina,. She met me at the courthouse and immediately agreed to help me after hearing the results of my case.... Within 4 hrs that same day, yes 4 hrs. Trina got a meeting with the prosecutor and judge and convinced them both to throw out the verdict and to retry my case. I still had to plead guilty, but the consequences were nothing like what had been handed down the first time! I love, yes love Trina Griffiths. She not only truly cares and pours herself fully into your case, she is a woman of impeccable integrity and charachter. Those qualities are not used to describe to many people in her field. I can guarantee without reservation that if you hire Trina, you will be glad you did. I know I am forever grateful. RM

Awesome 2 times!

I was smart enough to get myself into a DUI situation twice within a 6 month period of time in Cobb county. I was referred to Trina by another lawyer. Trina used to a prosecutor for 10 years in Cobb county. She carefully explained the process to me and helped me through one of the toughest times in m...y life. She was caring and compassionate about my situation. Trina came to court prepared and ready to fight for my freedom every day. I had two jury trails and they both came back innocent. After both trails we spoke to the jurors and they all commented on how great of a job Trina did. Everyone's situation is different and she never promised me anything but she came ready to fight for me every day. I hope I NEVER need her to represent me again, but if you need representation, she was awesome and highly recommended.

"I had the honor and pleasure of working with Trina at the Cobb County Solicitor General office for approximately two years. She was a prosecutor that zealously represented the State within the ethical bounds of the law. For the past eight years, Trina and I have been fellow DUI defense attorneys in the metro Atlanta. Trina works diligently on her cases and has gotten outstanding results for her clients in the metro Atlanta area. She has a great rapport with clients, judges, prosecutors and fellow defense attorneys. She has recently opened her own practice in Cobb County. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking representation on a difficult DUI case."
