A Premium Representative

I hired Mr. Grimes 5 years ago or so to help me with a custody case. Although my other half was very difficult to work with, to say the least LOL, he did an excellent job & the court found in my favor. I keep the custody paperwork in a fireproof safe, since we are still together, hopefully it will co...ntinue gathering dust there. I should have posted this review long ago but I'm a procrastinator. I would highly recommend Mr. Grimes, he took care of everything involved in my case with extreme professionalism. I'm eternally grateful for his assistance with my family court dealings. UPDATE: Apparently it's a good thing I kept that paperwork in the safe......I had to drag it out again in 2023 and hire Mr Grimes once again! Once again truth prevailed and we won. I rest my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
