A Lawyer that other lawyers hire

Mr. Granims is a rare, exceptional lawyer that other lawyers call when they get in trouble. My charges in Clayton County jeopardized my entire career. I am intimately familiar with the legal profession, and selected Michael Granims out of a field of otherwise capable and qualified candidates. Do...n't let his low-key demeanor fool you; his reputation in the legal community is one of bulldog tenacity, but he has the exceptional gift of being able to pursue that tenacity with a calm, level voice. As far as my case goes, there were VERY FEW acceptable options that would keep my career viable. We needed major wins, and the prosecutor's initial offer was laughable (career-ruining, lengthy, difficult). Michael and I worked together to evaluate possible strategies and he ultimately filed a motion that compelled the prosecutor to effectively dismiss the charges. This prosecutor knew NOTHING about my case until a week before we were scheduled to go before the judge. Mr. Granims successfully educated the prosecutor on the strengths of his motion and she ultimately was persuaded to make the arrangements that she did. Thanks to Michael Granims, I have a second shot at my life. I owe him a great deal, and given how much I received, I consider his rates to be exceptionally reasonable (though his results were invaluable, as was the peace of mind he provided by effectively communicating with me through every step of the process). I know he handles family law and personal injury cases as well, and as a fellow lawyer, Michael Granims is my choice for representation; you would do well to give him a call.

Excellence in Attorney Representation

Michael Granims not only represented me into criminal cases with expertise, but also with the highest respect from the judge we stood before. Michael Granims not only showed compassion for me as a person, but also his true belief that I could turn my life around, resulted in a satisfactory outcome I ...would not have had without his excellent representation. I give credit where credit is due. Sincerely, Thank You Michael Granims!

Misdemeanor Possession

Michael Granims helped me significantly and is a Excellent Lawyer! He got my Case Dismissed and was extremely thorough as he gave his opinion and took consideration into what I thought and was saying. Every call was answered, every question I had was answered and respected. He has excellent professio...nal etiquette and was confident in his ability to help me the best he can and fight to the end! I recommend Mr. Granims in any case as he has the experience from many different cases and the resume to prove it.

Possession deal

Mr. Granims helped me with a possession charge and was able to get a me deal with the court. He responses to phone calls in a timely manner. He is honest with his answers and takes general interest in helping.

More than just a "lawyer".

Mr. Granims is a lawyer who goes above and beyond for his clients. I was dealing with very serious criminal charges and I hired Mr. Granims to prove my innocence. Against all odds Mr. Granims worked diligently to prove my innocence. In the end - thanks to Mr. Granims ambition, perseverance, and ...time he invested into my case - a jury of my peers were also able to see my innocence. Mr. Granims did what I feel no other lawyer could do. He really put his all into my case and that's something I feel he does for all his clients. I thank God for Mr. Granims and the ambition, conscientiousness, and zeal he had for my case. He became not only my lawyer but my friend.
