About Richard

Have you been charged with a serious criminal offense? Richard Grossman will protect your rights.

For more than 25 years I have vigorously fought for the accused facing federal and state criminal charges. By focusing exclusively on defending people charged with serious crimes I am able to provide clients with knowledgeable and experienced representation.

Over the years I have acquitted clients of murder, rape, armed robbery, gang conspiracy, racketeering, aggravated assault, firearm offenses, drug trafficking, distribution and possession, medicaid fraud, mortgage fraud, theft and property offenses.

Similarly, through investigation and research, I have had cases dismissed by being fully prepared. When going to trial is not in the client's best interest I have achieved creative solutions and in many cases successfully argued for probation.

My goal is to achieve the best possible result for my clients. I recognize that the outcome of the case may have a lasting impact on the client's life.

Review Richard Grossman

On Point and Professional

Posted by

I was facing some serious charges such as assault and kidnapping however Richard Grossman was on point and professional while representing me in court with the results of the most serious charges being dropped and a misdemeanor being the final outcome. If you are facing any kind of criminal charges rather it be a serious or a misdemeanor I recommend Richard Grossman to represent you for positive results.

Very caring lawyer!

Posted by

Mr. Grossman recently represented me after I was arrested for drug charges. And unlike a lot of other lawyers that I observed, he did exactly everything he said he would do. There was no dishonesty or stringing along like I expected and he was very knowledgeable about everything I was experiencing. My fiance was also arrested with me and he had a not so great public defender so I got to experience lawyers from both ends of the spectrum and Mr. Grossman is definitely the best of the best. And even though he didn't have to, he would often give me advice and insight in my fiance's case as well since his lawyer wasn't always so helpful. Although having a good lawyer is very, very expensive Mr. Grossman worked with us as much as he could and it was worth every penny. He also just always seemed like he cared about my well being. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal services.

highly professional and understanding

Mr. Grossman is an excellent lawyer and we cannot recommend him highly ENOUGH! He answered our plea for a lawyer on a Sunday afternoon and helped us navigate the legal system smoothly. We had never had need for a lawyer before and Mr. Grossman worked several months on our behalf, keeping us informed the whole way, and got the case dismissed. His knowledge, concern and experience were greatly appreciated!!

Best drug trafficking attorney in Atlanta

Posted by

I hired Mr.grossman after previously having hired another attorney to represent me in a drug trafficking case . My previous lawyer didn't not give much effort to my case and made me feel very hopeless about my future . after many sleepless night of constantly second guessing my decision of keeping that lawyer to represent me I decided to get a second opinion and started to search for the best attorneys of Atlanta , in my search I came across Mr. Grossman's law firm I read many reviews and saw cases similar to mine and decided to give him a call only having three days until I had to present myself in court. Mr. Grossman met with me outside of business hours on a Sunday to review my case. From the beginning I knew he was someone who really did care about my future and how A minimum sentence of 10 years to serve could affect my life. He asked many questions and answered many of my questions as we reviewed my options and spoke about the details of my case. He reassured me many times that he would do all that he could to get me the best result possible. Mr. Grossman was very patient and took my case very serious . He listened closely to every detail of my case to help prove my innocence and on July 7, 2016 I was found not guilty thanks to Mr. Grossmans knowledge and expert advise during my trail . Mr. Grossman dedicated much time and effort into my case , which I will appreciate him for the rest of my Life .

Knowledgeable and Personable

Attorney Grossman recently represented my son in a criminal case. He made the proceedings easy to understand and advised us every step of the way. We listened and followed his advice and my son managed to keep his record clean and charges were dropped. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

A true God send!

Thank you for making my wife and I feel special. You exceeded my expectations of an attorney. You were always there for us no matter the time of day. Your Christian values were constantly demonstrated, you never judged us or looked down on us. You made a bad situation easy to deal with. You will always be apart of our family. Thanks again for a job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An Angel in a White Hat

Posted by

When my son was arrested on drug charges, he faced ten years in jail. I researched attorneys on the internet, and Mr. Grossman stood out as competent and affordable. And I liked his name. He spent almost an hour with me during that first phone call (the first sign), asking the right questions and advising me on a course of action. Something in his voice was reassuring (the second sign), and I never looked for another attorney. I was afraid, afraid for my son, afraid of mis-investing my money, but when my family and I met Mr. Grossman, there were so many things about him that spoke to us, assuring us he was the one - things only we would know to take as signs. And on the day we went to court, Mr. Grossman walked in wearing a white hat (the best sign of all), and we lost any doubt we might have had that things wouldn't go in our favor. There was no jury trial; we faced the judge directly. Mr. Grossman's rapport with the judge amazed me, especially since we were outside of his usual jurisdiction. He was eloquent and sincere in his defense of my son, and he moved this hardened judge to mercy; my son received probation. No attorney can work miracles, but he came awfully close that day. It's not an understatement to say, I owe my son's life to Mr. Grossman. He is a remarkable man, and I recommend him as one of the most compassionate professionals I've ever met.

Mr. Grossman was very helpful. I was in a situation where I didn't have a lot of time to surrender myself. I hired mr. Grossman to set up a time and day to turn myself in and get a bond. I had to clear up my warrant as soon as possible. Two days after hiring mr. Grossman he called me with a date and time to surrender myself. I surrender myself and was released on a signature bond that same day. I put everything in mr. Grossman hands and he handled everything very well. He kept me update on everything. I feel like he was really working for me.

Professional, Compassionate, Capable

I was in need of representation for a legal matter. As I live out of state, this did pose a vexing problem. I began by searching for attorney's online in Georgia. I contacted several of them....but was not comfortable with their energy. I called Mr. Grossman's number at approximately 6pm one night and he answered the phone. I was pleasantly surprised (with not having to talk to a secretary or leave a message). His presentation (via the telephone) left me feeling he was the right choice for me. He was patient..not trying to rush me off the phone in spite of the hour. I was stressed related to some life events and related to this legal matter and it was imperative for me to put my life in hands that would genuinely advocate on my behalf. Attorney Grossman was the right professional for me. It is one of the best decisions I have made. Attorney Grossman was empathic, he was clear about his professional opinion about my options. In dealing with the federal court attorney, he was capable, competent and balanced. There was no ego or arrogance. I have nothing but great things to say about Attorney Grossman. If you need a great attorney, call Attorney Richard A. Grossman!

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Posted by

I employed Richard Grossman to defend me as I had been charged with Insurance Fraud in the State of Georgia. The downside is that I live outside the state of Georgia. I had called several attorneys in the State of Georgia to handle my case and was denied by many and/or if they did accept my case, the cost to represent me was enormous. A good friend of the family recommended Mr. Grossman and when I called him, he took the time to listen to my case, offered some reasonable solutions, especially since I did not live in Georgia, and agreed to represent me at a very reasonable cost. Once Mr. Grossman and I agreed upon the terms, he IMMEDIATELY went to work THAT DAY to file a motion that would protect me in my state of residence and prevent me from being expedited. If I had been presented with a warrant in my state of residence, this would have severely upset my home, job and family. Once everything was set-up in Georgia and the court date was scheduled, I safely traveled to Georgia to handle this legal issue, which was handled in a matter of two-weeks!!!! There was no time lost being away from my home and family and I safely traveled back to my home state knowing that this legal issue was properly handled. Mr. Grossman has been readily available throughout the process and he kept me up-to-date on all the issues and is very knowledgeable in his field. He worked hard to represent me and make me feel comfortable, especially since this was my first time dealing with any legal problems. Please note that I am a woman of God, and throughout this process I prayed that God would direct and guide me in the right way. I was given a bad hand due to a situation that was out of my control, but God took care of it and I believe he utilized Mr. Grossman and his expertise to work this matter through. Mr. Grossman comes highly recommended by me.

I have known Richard for 20 years and have had the opportunity to work with him as co counsel on many cases over those years. Richard is an incredibly skilled trial lawyer and is intimately familiar with the law as well as the State and Federal rules of criminal procedure. He is an asset to every joint defense agreement I have ever entered into with him and I would choose him to help in any matter where one of my family members was in need of experienced and more than competent counsel. I endorse him with the highest regard. LDWolfe
