Excellent lawyer

Tanya is a extremely excellent lawyer. She’s my go to attorney whenever I need one, I will not go to anyone else but her. She goes above and beyond for you. She’s not scared to go up against anything or anyone. She’s been my attorney since 2011 for a incident and she worked to get me the best outcome... in that situation.Than again just recently I needed her again so I made a appointment told her the problem she was on it right away. She got my case dropped a few months ago. Tanya is a well known respected attorney inside the courts and outside the courts. With Tanya you’ll feel calm she will take care of everything. I highly recommend her. Next time you need a attorney hire Tanya, thank me later she’s honestly the best you will NOT find another attorney like her.

Hunter needed legal

Ms. Grillo defended me when the Michigan DNR had me in their sights. She saved me a ton of time/hassle/money. She also kept my record clean. Very satisfied.

DUI AND SEEKING RECOVERY

I feel Tanya Grillo did an excellent job representing my son, He had a DUI among other charges and helped him use the system to be fair for his charges and helped him use the tools available thru the courts to seek recovery. He is doing very well right now and I believe her direction helped him gr...eatly. Although it has been a painful lesson for him to learn there was always hope and her desire to see him focus on his recovery was so important. Thank you very much. It took over a year, but he is clean and sober. Alcoholism is a disease and family members need to educate themselves as well.

Thorough and confident

Tanya is professional and a pleasure to have in your corner when facing those difficult legal matters. She's not afraid to go up against the charges and leave no stone unturned. She cares about the client and can communicate with the prosecution and judge like a pro.
