Christopher M. Grimes

I can’t recommend Attorney Chris Grimes highly enough. From my very first consultation, he and Heather, were very professional and compassionate. They explained every step of the process, and made sure I felt supported throughout my case. He fought hard for me and achieved a result that exceeded m...y expectations. If you are looking for an attorney who is responsive and genuinely cares, Chris the right one.

I found Chris through my EAP at work after my husband suffered a serious back injury in a rollover accident as a backseat passenger. The day after the crash, while my husband was still hospitalized and on pain medication at Harborview, the auto insurance company began calling him to sign papers. It f...elt wrong — rushed, manipulative, and deeply unsettling. Thankfully, I called Chris. From the very beginning, Chris was calm, clear, and fiercely protective of our rights. He stepped in immediately, shielding my husband from pressure and guiding us through the legal maze with empathy and expertise. This injury has changed our lives — even a year later, my husband is still far from where he was physically. But I truly believe things could have been much worse without Chris’s support. He and his team handled the legal complexities so we could focus on healing. He listened, explained, and advocated — not just as a lawyer, but as someone who genuinely cared. We’re incredibly grateful.

In 2019, I was hit by a car and was seriously injured. I got an ambulance ride and spent 6 hours in the ER and the next day I contacted Grimes Law Group. From the beginning, Chris was empathetic and informative about my rights and the legal process in Washington. I chose to sign his on-contingency... retainer (so I paid nothing upfront), which was a single page written in plain English, and immediately Heather (the paralegal) began the process of coordinating payment of my medical bills and damage to my bicycle. I spent 6 months recovering from surgery and going to physical therapy, and Heather made sure the at-fault driver's insurance paid those bills. Then I suffered another shoulder dislocation which was caused by the car crash, and I had two more surgeries plus a longer and more painful recovery/rehabilitation period. Once again Heather and Chris were invaluable in ensuring the bills got paid and not out of my pocket. Along the way there were numerous delays by everyone involved --- the insurance companies and the medical providers --- but Heather and Chris kept me informed on the process, and more importantly they handled everything so I didn't have to worry about a thing! In the end, we settled the claim for very nearly the insurance policies' liability limits and in addition to covering almost six figures in medical bills, I received a healthy payout for my pain and suffering, time off work, etc. Heather and Chris insulated me from all the (rather extensive) bureaucracy, and knowing that burden was in good hands really helped my mental health throughout the very challenging two-and-a-half year process. My experience with Chris and Heather has led me to tell all my friends that they should *always* get a lawyer if they're injured and need to deal with insurance companies.

Chris and Heather did amazing work on my case! I sustained injury's from helping out a local government employee in 2019. Not knowing where to go and how to proceed with getting reimbursed for medial costs and lost wages my employer recommended Chris Grimes at Grimes Law Group so I made initial co...ntact with his firm. Going into the process of filing a claim against a government entity I had no idea how this would go. From the on-set Chris could tell that I had a strong case against this local government entity. Chris was happy to help me through the process of setting up a case and proceeding, even though the case could take a long time. All the while encouraging me to try and relax and just heal my injuries. Chris took the time to explain, in detail, how my case could go, what could and could not happen. With all details in hand Chris filed first claim and my initial case was automatically denied with no explanation as to why it was denied. The whole case was "radio silence" from the beginning! A little discouraged at the initial case denial Chris worked with me for next steps to file a new lawsuit and after many weeks and attempts at communicating Chris was finally given consideration from the government entity. The case dragged on for several months without a word from the governments legal group, however, Chris did have a line of communication. Chris would get me involved when needed and also stuck with me and encouraged me to "hang in there" while we let the processes play out. After 2 some years of working and waiting patiently and going through the government entity's processes we were finally able to settle my claim at a level I never thought would be possible. When the case settled Chris was very compassionate as to the weight of this case and the stressful and emotional journey this case had taken me on. When all was said done Chris put it best "from complete denial, through litigation and then a great result!" I would highly recommend Chris and Heather as your legal team to get you through an injury case. They are both patient and explain every legal matter in detail so you know whats happening and the wont give up on you!

I am so grateful for Chris’s passion, dedication, and professionalism. He made things so much easier, and simpler through one of the toughest battles. Chris was very compassionate in every single thing he did during my case, and really showed that he cared and was with me 100%. If I ever had a questi...on there was no hesitation because I knew he would have no problem discussing whatever may have been going on. He has wonderful staff as well !!! Definitely recommend this awesome and amazing lawyer.
