Great Employment Issue Representation
My husband (and I) were referred to Jeff Hepworth for assistance with an employment contract/wrongful termination issue, and we were fortunate to have Grady Hepworth added to our representation team. Both were a pleasure to work with and very responsive. They thoroughly understood the components of the case and provided excellent recommendations on bringing the issue to a positive conclusion. Their knowledge, expertise and approach were right on target, and we appreciated their guidance and great attitude throughout the process. Their office is very professional as well as comfortable, and we highly recommend them both!

Exceptional lawyer
Grady Hepworth is genuinely one of the nicest people, and on top of that a very great lawyer. I can't thank Grady enough for all his hard work and due diligence on my car accident case. I could not imagine having to go through all of this alone, or without the expertise and help from him. He helped take such a stressful and difficult situation and made it as easy for me to bear as possible. I would highly recommend him to not only my friends and family, but to anyone who is looking for an exceptional lawyer who will support and help you through difficult circumstances.

You can't buy happiness, but you CAN hire Grady.
I had a work related issue with a former Employer here in Twin falls. I spoke with Grady over the phone, sent him all documents and evidence pertaining to the case. Drove up to Boise a week later to have a face to face. Could not have asked for a more fair, upfront, blunt, and to the point individual. One well written letter to my former employers attorney, resulting in a check. As far as pursuing more monies by means of a lawsuit, Grady and I looked at the facts, determined the challenges, weighed our options and made an educated decision. Never once did I feel that Grady had anything other than my best interest at heart. Clearly showing that some lawyers have one. Props, and kudos to Hepworth Law Office.

Very pleased with Gray's assistance
I really appreciate the assistance Grady provided in a very stressful employment situation. He has excellent knowledge of the law, is very pleasant, and very responsive. The staff at his firm is also very warm. And he works very efficiently and I was shocked at how inexpensive my final bill is. I highly recommend Grady.

Grady Hepworth Review
Grady worked for me on a rental dispute. Professionally, Grady was prompt, tough and effective. More importantly, his demeanor and actions showed that he genuinely cared about my case, which is a trait that is hard to find in lawyers. One thing I appreciate about Grady is that he is a young lawyer who can approach problems in inventive and new ways, but he also has the finesse of someone who has been practicing for decades. Anybody looking for quality representation in Idaho should consider Grady and the Hepworth Law Offices.
