Professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with

We hired Grifan to help us negotiate a dispute regarding the withholding of a deposit on a rental property. She was efficient and knowledgeable. She communicated every step of the way and provided adequate and professional advice to us as we navigated through this incredibly stressful and emotional...ly draining process. We could not have chosen a better attorney. She has become a true asset to our family and we couldn't be more thankful. I would highly recommend Grifan. Finding a better attorney would be difficult as I truly believe she is the best at what she does.

Review for Grifan Cayce-Heathers

I have a very dynamic set of business's from food service to real estate partnerships and I trust Grifan to handle pretty much all of my legal issues with regards to my different business's. She has proven herself to be a top performer in terms of knowing how to get to the real issues and when neede...d, has proven herself to be a naturally skilled litigator as well. I have never had a reason to question a billing invoice or any other "office issues" that used to plague me with my previous attorney. She's honest, full of integrity and eager to please her clients. She's also kind of a pistol when my legal needs require a more aggressive approach. I plan on enjoying a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Grifan and the firm and gladly give her my highest recommendation.

Outstanding.

Last spring when we decided to update my grandmother's estate plan Grifan was my very first call. I attended law school with Grifan and, while I tend to keep my personal & professional lives separate, I had no doubt that Grifan (and Cayce Grove) would provide incredible legal service. We were able to... meet with a few times to discuss the circumstances of the estate & review the best issues. Grifan was thorough & very well-versed on the applicable issues & law. We were able to update my grandmother's estate documents with ease & are confident that her wishes will be fulfilled based on the work completed by Grifan. I would highly recommend Grifan (and Cayce Grove).

  • 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.
