My Hero

This attorney was definitely a God-send to me. In my moment of facing a situation that I had no idea how to handle, I began reaching out to attorneys. One, then another, and another I believe it might have been 15 total. I learned of this attorney just as I was retaining another. When things seemed l...ike representation from the one I retained were beginning to become difficult, I thought it best to excuse him. I thank heaven above for the opportunity to retain Attorney Grossman. The degree of professionalism I received from this attorney and his firm was on level I had not experienced before. This highly skilled attorney along with his excellent staff made every effort to keep me updated, to review strategies, and make it know that it was always about what I wanted. No one has to tell me; I know that I was very lucky they agreed to take my case. I came to this attorney with little to no documentation supporting my claim. A clam that should have made almost 2 decades ago. That did not matter. They truly empathized with me and told me not to worry and leave everything to them. These now friends of mine treated me like nobody has ever treated me. If you want to come out victorious then retain this man. RETAIN HIM. I practically guarantee you'll be more tha happy with the decision and eternally sorry if you dont.

"Superlative Attorney w/1st class firm"

This Attorney far exceeded my expectations by truly empathizing with my situation and proving to me that he (they) do. My needs and wishes were always put first above everyone else's including the firms.

The Grossman-law-firm is the right choice for your probate case. A professional and experienced team.

I have hired Mr. Grossman to handle a Probate case of my diseased wife estate. Mr. Grossman and his team provided me with the proper guidance throughout the process and explained what to expect and the time needed to reach a judgement on the matter. The team understand their client emotional ups and ...downs throughout the case and they are always their to address any concerns or questions. I am pleased that I have chosen a professional and knowledgeable team to handle my case.

Scott was an excellent lawyer in my probate case. The case started simple but turned complicated and Scott was there all the way. In the courtroom Scott is extremely confident and made me feel very comfortable during very difficult time. I would recommend Scott to anyone needing assistance in prob...ate

Providing hope where there was none.

Mr Grossman believed in me when I refused to believe that justice would prevail. Having only the word of a homeless stranger, no money to offer, he accepted my case and believes my story of a greedy brother wanting it all. Now gone the documents proving my claim stolden. Along with legal trickery ...and manipultion what is rightfully mine being sold and me being dismissed by my older brother, whom is already well off, I had all but given up after the death of my mother. We were very close and besides my brother the only family I had. I was a step away from ending my life. After a matter of days I found myself homeless, with out transportation, phone, even food. Overnight what my mom planned for years to make sure exactly this situation would never happen ,happened. All because we both trusted my older brother not to take advantage and split all belongings 50/50. He wanted 100. Had me kicked outta my moms home the next day. Told me the wrong funeral date, though I managed to make it anyway. Throws away everything he couldn't sell without even asking me anything. Ignore my multipul attempts to leave me a contact number, address, anyway of reaching him. Mr Grossmen gave me a reason to live when all I wanted to do was die. Now over 400 days have passed since my mom died. Finally my brother has been ordered to produce the trust documents, I once had, and an accounting of the accents. First time in a long time my brother contacted me on Facebook. He wants to make me a deal!! I want him to go to jail for what he has put me through. And my moms ashes. The money isn't my goal, though it would be nice not being cold, hungry and tired, I just want things to be as my mom wanted the to be. That and justice! I'll leave that to the expertise of Mr. Grossman! Oh yeah, I still haven't returned my brothers texted yet. See how he likes waiting for the empty ring of my phone. But I'm still cold.
