"We handle the most important case in the world - YOURS!"
I am a trial lawyer. I help people who are injured (and families of people killed) because of the carelessness of another or a defective consumer product. Every case I take, I prepare it for trial.
Our philosophy is to work every case as if it is going to trial. If an offer is made that you believe is fair, then a settlement is possible. But if not, prepare to go the distance with your case. Preparing cases like this takes more time and attention than the case mills can afford. But we find the earlier preparation leads to better results, including settlements. "If you want peace, prepare for war."
Our staff is dedicated to personal attention to your case. Wendy has been with me more than eleven years and is the most courteous person you would ever want to meet. She and I are committed to courteously helping each client.

I can never than you enough for all my claims you won
The only lie I have ever had from Joel is his high school picture on the web-site. When it comes too law there are very few as good as he is.He took care of a million dollar lawsuit and my disability claim for me and won both.

The Best Lawyer I've Ever Worked With
Mr. Grist is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. Every case I had against clients, Mr. Grist has helped me win. When it was time for my will to be drawn up, Mr. Grist took care of my wife and myself and he has been just a wonderful resource for general law questions that pop up. On several o...
"I have worked on many cases over the years with Joel. We have had many extraordinary exchanges of information and research over the years in helping our clients. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse Joel. I have known him for over twenty years and he is very knowledgeable and skilled in the various aspects of personal injury law including premises liability cases, trucking cases and lien resolution."
"I fully endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Joel in several different matters and have always found him to be an exceptional attorney. Joel has an extensive background handling personal injury cases and has obtained impressive results for his clients over the years. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury claim."
"I endorse this lawyer. Joel is a very sharp lawyer. His creative ability allows him to add significant value to his clients' cases. Additionally, Joel is a good man that treats his clients well."
"I have worked with Joel on a number of cases involving personal injury and medical malpractice. I have also been on the other side of Joel in several similar suits. In all cases, I have found that Joel is always very attentive to the details of the matter at hand. I remember one particular case when we were on opposite sides where his investigation uncovered a fact detrimental to my client. This led to a much more beneficial settlement for his client. Part of his preparation for his cases involves his use and understanding of technology. I remember one very document ladened action where he was able to use his technology know-how to save a client from making a critical mistake in a deposition. Whether I am co-cousel or opposing Joel, I can always expect him to be well prepared on the facts and the law in case."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Joel since we graduated from law school in 1995. Joel is not afraid of a challenge and is willing to help anyone. I would not hesitate to call Joel Grist for legal advice."
"Joel is a very intelligent lawyer who works tirelessly for his clients. I do not hesitate to endorse his work."
"Joel and I have colloborated on a couple of cases, as well as bouncing ideas off of one another. I will also refer clients to him in areas of practice that I do not typically handle. He is bright, cares deeply about his clients, and works more than dilligently on his cases. Obviously, since I refer clients to him,, that should speak volumes about my opinion about his talents and demeanor. He is a fine attorney and I heartily endorse him."
