Mr. Griswold helped me to resolve a divorce that had been ongoing for more than three years. Up until that point I spent over $60,000 but almost achieved nothing. Mr. Griswold has the ability to quickly grasp the key points that needed to be resolved. He remembered event the small details of my ca...se. He is also honest with his billing and sincerely wants to help clients. In short, he is just a honest, caring, and competent attorney.

The thing that most impressed me…….

Timothy Griswold handled my divorce. It was difficult and sensitive. He had such a handle on the big picture, weaving in and out of possibilities and outcomes!! I was astounded at his memory and ability to track what was going on at every turn. This was without prompting. What a gift!! Of course... it was emotional for me. He tapped right into that and could see the way forward. While I was edgy, and at the time distraught , he was fluid, open to different possibilities, and at the same time strategic, and judicious. I highly recommend him.
