If you want to lose and waist your money, this is your guy!

Replied last April 07, 2022Not sure how to address an Anonymous Review where the facts are not familiar. If this is the case I think it is... I truly believe the Judge was wrong and I did discuss the appeal with you... that said I am not sure this is the same case.

A true leader and role model in his field!
From accepting my initial after hours call, to the conclusion of my case, Mr. Grimes displayed great knowledge, and treated me with tremendous respect. Thank you.

Quality Lawyer
Could' not be more pleased with Mel's service, attitude, and professionalism. Always keeps me up to date with a sophisticated electronic communication service of letters and documents. Took my personal case against a billion dollar company when others would not. VERY pleased. Thanx, Mel

Mr. Grimes forethought enabled my case to be offensive in nature which made the difference and ultimate decision in my favor. I believe Mr. Grimes is and will be effective in any field of law he is embarked in. Don't hesitate retaining Mr. Grimes as he is tireless in his work.
