Motorcycle Accident Claim
Mr Grimes and his paralegal team did a great job handling my case. They took care of notifying and dealing with all of my medical bills. Always kept in contact with me with updates with my case. He was honest and upfront with my case. Mr Grimes ended up getting my a great settlement.

A very compassionate attorney who was thorough.
A very compassionate attorney who was thorough and explained each step of the way. He and his staff were professional and never rushed me. He was sensitive to my loss and my injuries. I would recommend Mr Grimes to anyone who would ask me.
"I endorse this lawyer. He cares deeply about the quality of his work and about serving his clients."
"I've worked with Mr. Grimes on a number of personal injury cases and he's always done a great job. I highly recommend him."
"There is no doubt in my mind, when I need to refer a case to a Washington lawyer for a serious injury, Chris is my first choice. Chris has an excellent balance of experience and competence while maintaining an approachability that is hard to come by."
"I have known Chris for over 20 years. He is a great advocate for his clients. Very honest and hard working. I would be comfortable sending a friend or family member to him for representation ... that's the highest endorsement I can give."
