Awesome Attorney!
Marc did such an amazing job on our case. He went above and beyond. His staff and him were always available for questions. Never left feeling anxious. When our case went to trial he was very prepared even when the opposing side was throwing curve balls. He was able to switch up his tactic during a quick lunch recess. Ultimately we won more than expected and were extremely satisfied with the results. Thank you Marc, you are appreciated! Would definitely recommend.

Legal Victory
Marc has been by far the most amazing Attorney I could have asked for in my civil case (A Partition Lawsuit). Marc is a super lawyer he is brilliant, knowledgeable, patient, great listener, passionate and trustworthy. Marc guided me every step of the way throughout this entire case. This was a Partition Lawsuit, however opposing counsel was never reasonable and very difficult to work with, but that was never a challenge for him. Marc was always a step ahead of them. Because of the unreasonable and absurd counters from the opposition, the case had to move forward for Trial. The days leading up to Trial I was a nervous wreck because in my relationship with defendant, I had experienced DV in the past. I would call Marc and his team to express the stress I had leading up to the Trial and every time I spoke with Marc and his team I felt a sense of safety, relief, and certainty. Marc had it all under control and was exceedingly prepared for Trial and for my safety. Marc and his team walked me through every step of the way. They were more than just my astonishing legal representation; they were also an amazing emotional and mental support system for me. He is very professional and assertive. In Trial he was spectacular and impressive to say the least. Marc had all evidence and exhibits in order and accessible for opposing counsel and the court. Marc basically destroyed the opposition/defendant. It was a satisfying scene to witness. His arguments were persuasive and strong. We had an incredible legal victory across the board on all matters. All motions filed were granted at its entirety. I am delighted and ecstatic with the outcome of my case and it is all thanks to Marc Grismer and his Legal Team. I admire Marc’s composure, work ethic and most excellent representation throughout this entire case. I feel like I have won my life back! I am beyond grateful for both Marc and his Legal Team. Thank you Marc and Marc’s Team!

Thank you Marc
Marc was well prepared during a friends emotionally draining court case. After years of trying to amicably work with her ex on dividing assets, she was recommended Marc . Marc showed me he prepared well in advance but was also able to redirect his statements when new evidence came into play. He organized his thoughts well and in turn represented her better than i could ever hoped for .

Great Experience , Phenomenal Staff !
I had been a long time client of previous attorney at the firm Mr. Laurence Clark. When I needed legal assistance with my deceased mothers estate, I phoned Mr. Clarks office and was told that he had retired. I was referred to Mar Grismer who had taken over the firm. It turns out that my case was a litigation matter. Marc and his staff were extremely helpful during the entire process. We had to appear in court and I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and expertise in my particular matter. As difficult as the process was for me, Mark made me feel comfortable and confident. It turned out that things did work in my favor which was a plus as well. As a side note, I had Marcs firm prepare my Trust and other legal document needed for my own personal estate. I have recommended the firm to several friends, family members and co-workers. I will continue to retain him for any future legal needs.

Totally Professional, Yet Personable
Marc Grismer understands the importance of relationships, even when dealing with important legal matters. Marc, & his para legal Diana, walked us through the process of obtaining guardianship over our nephew. They were able to make a rough road much smoother for us. Especially since we have a large family, efficiency with time, energy, & other resources is extremely important to us, and that is what Marc & his legal team were able to provide, along with a successful outcome. Thank you Marc & Diana, we truly appreciate everything you have done to help our family. We hope for the continued success of your practice.

Hire Marc Grismer!
Marc Grismer does it again! I reached out to Marc after discussing with my family that my husband needed to adopt my oldest daughter. He walked me through the entire process, and he was honest every step of the way. He calmed my worries and made what is a complicated process seem so simple. Marc and his staff are phenomenal and if you’re looking for an attorney, he’s the one! Thanks again, Marc! We truly appreciate your work.

Fantastic Legal Representation
Marc Grismer, an attorney with Grismer & Patterson LLP demonstrated two aspects I value: A deep breadth of legal expertise and knowledge. When I hired him to represent me in a particularly straight forward Family Law case forcing me to deal with an unscrupulous employee of LACCD who demonstrated, and displayed EVERY loathsome characteristic of a human being, and even discovered a few new ones to steal money from someone posthumously. His concise advice constantly keep me abreast of the “legal course of action we could pursue, the high likelihood of winning the case in court, with the time and costs involved in doing so. Compared to the distaste, yet practicality of settling out of court. If you can appreciate someone unafraid to speak truth to power regardless of fairness of the situation Marc’s representation will serve you well. He will stand for what is right in your defense as your legal representative, but courageously inform you his client what his opinion of your proposed strategy whether it pleases you or not! That is s professional and I greatly appreciated that! His staff is courteous, with great follow up and attention to detail! For potential clients seeking legal representation, I highly recommend Mr. Grismer.

Best experience with an Attorney I've ever had!
Marc was referred to me by a coworker. I was stressed to get my divorce completed so I could retire on time. I had a previous divorce with dragged out more then two years....horrible experience and very costly. That was not my case with Marc. From day one he for the ball rolling. He and his assistant we easy to access and returned calls or correspondence in a timely manner. I can't say enough about my experience. I was officially divorced Six months and one day after filing...and I even received money back from Marc, because he got it all done under the retainer amount! So pleased..

Trust Litigation/ Conservatorship
Atty. Grismer represented me in a very difficult Conservatorship case. He treated me like family; he was compassionate, approachable and his representation of me in the courtroom was very strong. His legal team was also very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of Probate Law. I highly recommend Attorney Grismer.

Awesome guy
At a time of confusion Attorney Grismer was able to bring much clarity to a situation and obtain results beyond my expectation. He was able to assist me in an insurance litigation matter of which could have gone in a horrible direction had I not had the proper representation. I highly recommend Mr. Grismer for any and all legal needs.

Takes the necessary time to explain everything
When my late mother passed away, I didn't know what to do. Mr. Grismer and his office staff took the time to explain everything about probate, assisted in finding a real estate agent to sell the property. He kept me updated on the progress through the court and when the case was finalized. He and his staff were always available to answer questions or concerns.

Personal Injury
I was involved in a automobile accident early last year. Mr. Grismer and staff were able to settle my case in a reasonable period of time and obtained an amazing settlement for myself and my passengers. He and his staff were extremely attentive, kind and respectful. I am extremely grateful for his services.
