Kenneth Lawrence Grover

Good evening, I hardly write reviews, but after reading so many positive reviews. I've decided to give Mr. Groover a chance. Mr. Groover would be my second attorney for this citation. In the beginning everything seemed promising and their communication was fantastic compared to my first lawyer where ...I would not get a response for days and even a whole week. My first lawyer told me he would take care of everything and look into my case. Offered to help with a citation. Come to find out nothing was done and gave some bogus advice stating I can only appeal this citation. I ended driving back to court 10 minutes after he stated that and I recieved another contested hearing for may 12. I decided to look for a new lawyer after filing my grievance with the state bar for his conduct. that's when 1 decided to look for a new lawyer and came across K. Groover and his reviews. Spoked to Mr. Groover or his assistant, mid April. I Informed him as to what happened to my first attorney which I filed a grievance against for the fact that he stated he would help with the citation, would look into it, ended up he didn't do anything. But still have the nerves to offer his service to help with my insurance claim. 05/08 I got a call while I was at work and was told to either take the plea bargain or Kenneth will not be representing me. Stating with how federal way court works, they had 2 lawyers look at the case they don't want to take on the case. I asked why and their was responses was we don't want to ruin our relation with the prosecutors. Refuse to even take this to trial even after I told them they will be compensated for their time. So far the only thing they did was prolong my court date. Filed a continuance since Mr. Groover was busy with other cases. When it came down to my case, pressuring me to take a plea bargain. Not just once but on multiple occasion. They are more worried about their relations with the prosecutor. Instead of actually representing their client. What relation are they referring to? Are they just trying to avoid putting this officer on the stand? Now I got an email stating the officer can't attend my new hearing date and it got pushed back to July. Where's the justice in that? If you think this is all about money it is not. I can easily pay off this citation, I'm only fighting this because 1ST, I did nothing wrong and if they want to give me that citation they can give it on record based on hearsay. Nothing on the police report was admissible in court until I see everyone involved testify under oath. The person who cause the accident did not have insurance, nor did she get a citation. The best part is the police report was 1 paragraph long they considered that evidence. At the end of the day I rather pay thousands in legal fees than pay this greedy city. I wonder how serious Mr Groove would take this case If I did offered $1,500. Win or lose I'll happily pay my insurance premiums. 5/11, called today and found out the lawyer withdrew Officer Sales from being subpoenaed. I responded "with why" with no response then Stated prosecutor offered a plea bargain and we don't want to take on this case because we don't want to ruin our relation with the prosecutor. Also stating I won't get my partial refund back unless I sign some paperwork. But all was done was my court date getting prolonged. I told them I'm not signing anything until my new lawyer sees the document they are requiring me to sign before my portion of the payment. 1/3 goes to lawyer fee since they took on my case and filed a continuance. my refund are being held until the paperwork they are requesting are signed. Update: want to give me a full refund but wants me to sign some paperwork before the fund are release back to me!

I hired Ken for a 1998 divorce case and had satifactory results.When I used him again in 2010 for the criminal defense case it was less than expected, he was not worth the prices I was paying. I had qualified for a public defender but I wanted to make sure this conviction stayed off my record, so I ...hired Ken based upon friends refferals. I received a referral to this attorney from friends who used him for traffic violations. They said he was great at that. As for the Criminal Defense, he dragged on the case too long, longer than needed. I havent received any results yet, and I dont know when I will. He didnt always tell me what was going on.
