The most honest and knowledgeable firm you could wish for…read more A year ago, I hired Todd Grace to counsel my son and me on a major university matter that could have been expensive. I paid them a $1000 retainer, and we spent at least an hour discussing the issue and our options. One of the recommendations Todd made was to recruit a faculty representative to assist us, which we did. My son had a series of short phone calls with Todd, and Todd assisted us with the paperwork needed to assure the best possible outcome. Todd's recommendations were, as the Brits say, "spot on" - he really understands both the theory and the practice of OU policy and procedures. The outcome was, as he suggested, "the best possible, under the circumstances." I was aware that we had unlikely used all $1000 of our retainer, but the outcome was so good, and my 40-year business experience with other attorneys was so poor that I didn't expect a refund, and didn't request one. I once paid a New York attorney $20,000 to handle a case where $120,000 was at stake - he blew the service of the papers - and never refunded a dime. However, today, on the one year anniversary of our meeting with Todd, I received a letter with a check for $660, the unused portion of our retainer. You don't find more honorable and knowledgeable people in the law profession than Grace and McGee. If you need an attorney in the Athens area, HIRE THEM!

Todd was so personable and informative. He was able to work out a plan with my son on how they were going to proceed. I truly appreciate his knowledge, honesty and professionalism. Todd is in the final stages of running for Judge. We wish him the best of luck and also wish we could vote in Athens!

Highly recommended. Doug worked on my case ecently and got great results. I couldnt recommend him…read moremore highly. He is very experienced and knows how to navigate all those tight corners and nuances of the law of the land. over years, I have used him several times in my business and personal matters and he has fought hard for me and got me the best possible outcomes. most of the time he is able to get the case dismissed , charges dropped and fines cancelled or reduced. He is very accesible and really listens to your matter. He is quick and efficient. His office staff is very respectul and they ALWAYS pick up the phone. U actually talk to real people and not bots or computerized voices. i have nothing againist technology but its great when a real person answers your call. Honestly if you are looking for good honest and fair representation, you should give them try. This office has always delivered for me and I think they will for you too. i dont think you will regret.

Doug was my third attorney call (first two did not care at all) - Doug let me speak and listened…read more Doug took on my case, as a traffic attorney, for being pulled over for driving without a license (NOT suspend very different) or insurance in Grove City, OH. Long story short I had to do was obtain my license with insurance and the case would be dismissed. This is exactly what happened due to Doug's many connections he has in Grove City. My case was dismissed as I listened to Doug and I had to pay a $65 fine. I HIGHLY recommend Doug and his team! He is the best price (I was shocked! Thank you), responsive, incredibly intelligent, calm and will work hard for you as a client. Thank you to Doug, Anthony, and the entire Riddell Team for getting my case dismissed!
