Experienced Attorney

Anthony M. Grostyan, Esq. of Grostyan Law, PLC provided outstanding representation in my DWI case. His professionalism, clear communication, and dedication ensured I was informed at every stage of the process. Mr. Grostyan achieved the best possible outcome regarding the consequences of my offense, a...nd I am grateful for his expertise. I highly recommend his counsel to anyone in need of skilled legal assistance.

A Lifesaver

Tony helped me out with my DUI case. To say the outcome was favorable is a huge understatement as he was able to get me an amazing deal. He kept me in the loop on my case throughout and helped me take the steps needed to get the deal.

Poor Advice, Dismissive of Concerns

Mr. Grostyan provided me with poor advice and counsol on how to handle my case. When I informed Mr. Grostyan about the details of my case, with questions and concerns I had, he immediately advised l admit my guilt. Not only did my lawyer not listen to the wishes of his client, he underminned my confi...dance slowly, to the point where I gave up. Now I am 4 years post DUI conviction, diligently following the beauractic slog, still without a license, and more than $10,000 in the hole. If you have questions about your innocence, and you want advice about how to beat your case contact a Criminal Attorney.

Efficient, Personable, and Judicious

Just to say that I found Anthony to be incredibly supportive throughout the criminal process, having never before traversed this world. He was always in contact, explained everything in detail, answered all questions, and was available night or day. Cannot say enough about how much I would recommend/...refer Anthony for his legal services.

So Happy, Thank You!!

Thank you so much for all your help, knowledge and patience during my difficult legal situation. I am sure there were times my phone calls, texts and emails were overwhelming. However you took the time to answer every one of them and kept me at ease, as much as possible anyway. His years of exper...ience, types of cases, knowledge of them and his expertise were so appreciated. He fought for the best outcome possible and am very happy with my results. I am so thankful I had Anthony on my side. I would not ask for a more supportive person in my corner. I have referred him on to others and will continue to do so. He is a great resource to have. Thanks again!!
