Most Efficient Attorney

I have worked in the legal field for 22 years and had a family member that needed a criminal defense attorney. After meeting with Mr. Grimes our family felt more comfortable with Mr. Grimes than any of the 5 attorneys we met with...To make a long story short Mr. Grimes is the BEST, most efficient a...nd professional attorney. WE would highly recommend Mr. Grimes to anyone with out any reservations.

I wouldn't recommend this attorney!

I would never recommend this attorney! It has been said, the more money you have, the beeter he is. I don't know if this is true, but he was highly ineffective in my family members case, and I would never recommend him to anyone! If the judge had not stepped up, my family member would be on death r...ow because he did not put up even the most minimum defense! He should have attacked the prosecutions case instead of playin the 'race' card! Now our family has to pay another investigator and competent attorney to do what should have been done in the first place so that we can at the very least, get my family member a new trial! Every attorney and/or investigator that looks at this case cannot understand how this case was so poorly defended. (This is a fact, not an opinion.) The timelines were never compared and exposed, the witnesses and witness identifications were never challenged. Critical police evidence that was highly suspect was never throughly challenged. And after my family member was found guilty, and jury misconduct, as well as information was revealed to have been withheld by the DA and police department, and the judge also forced the trial to continue before a critical police witness was available to testify, Mister Grimes did not submit the proper motion to get the verdict overturned. Since the trial, we have called him on numerous occasions but have received no responses. Our new attorneys and investigators have also tried to call Mister Grimes and received no response from him. One of our investigators finally got tried of him not returning calls or e-mails and went to his office and waited for him to return. Upon his return, he informed him that all case information for this capitol case was misplaced. These are the facts and my experience with this particular attorney.
