God blessed me hiring Mr. Grisham…read more Former Military, City Fireman, Defense contractor with secret clearance, and now aircraft mechanic at a major airline. Never been in trouble in my life. I had some issues in Canton, Ga. Police have a very tough job and make mistakes and thus, found myself in the back of a police car on the way to jail. Everything I spent a lifetime working for was in jeopardy. Initially, I hired an attorney for 5K with good reviews and misleading online image. However, I felt my attorney was more interested in a Plea Bargain than clearing my good name. I spoke with friends in the police department back home in Indiana and they advised me to seek other counsel. I prayed to God about it and asked around and Grisham & Poole constantly came recommended. I terminated my first attorney and Hired Ross Grisham. The first time I met him was at the courtroom calendar call. As I sat waiting, Numerous sloppily dressed defendants and attorneys with bad suits filed in and out of the courtroom. Note, It might seem trivial how your attorney is dressed but it can make a world of difference. It acknowledges respect for the judge, court, and projects creditability to the Jury. People are more inclined to listen. And then God delivered! Ross came in looking sharp dressed with a good rapport with the Judge, Prosecutor, and fellow attorneys. Ross is a straight shooter and he will work to understand your story and get you the best outcome possible. Nothing left to chance and Well prepared for court. Outstanding job in my immunity hearing! These guys like winning! I was all in going to jury trial! Ross wanted to change tactics on the prosecution and tagged Scott Poole to jump in during the trial. Scott, Well prepared, studied my case, knew the law, dressed sharp and also had a good rapport with everyone. Did his homework after a day in court! Great Job picking my jury! Mr. Poole took the prosecution's case apart step by step. Mr. Grisham and Mr. Poole have different styles but they have incredible synergy! The jury came back, Victory! Unanimous Not Guilty on all counts. All said and done, an outstanding job and whatever I paid them just wasn't enough. I left the office a huge tip with no regrets! The office staff and investigator did a great job also! God had his mighty hand on all of them for me. In all sincerity, Thank You Jesus I have my life back! There just isn't enough adjectives to describe how Highly I think of and recommend the Grisham and Poole law firm. God Bless,

I would highly recommend Mr. Poole and his team!…read more I recently had a case that Mr. Poole took on, he went over his plan for the case in detail and told me my options. We made the decision to supress evidence in the case and Mr. Poole won the argurement and evidence against me was dismissed. Before each court hearing Mr. Poole's office would call and remind of me of the time and day of the hearing. Mr. Poole would follow up on any email or phone calls I made.

Attorney Sean Ditzel took care of my situation. I was referred to him by a family friend who is a…read moreJudge. Sean handled not only a custody case but also assisted in collecting back child support. It's straightforward- you tell him what's going on, pay the retainer, and he quickly gets to work. It's not more complicated than that. I would definitely use him again if the need ever came up.

Pros: He was able to get me in contact with a good guardian…read moread litem for my custody case. Cons: Did not inform me about developments in the case. Examples: The guardian engaged a psychologist for my alienated children. I found out through the guardian's invoice. I found out that mediation talks were progressing through my invoice. I found out that a second mediation was in the works through an invoice 3 months later, even though another is not required. Mediated agreement was never submitted as an order of the court. When the mother refused to follow the agreement we signed, she could not be held in contempt of court. I had to get a temporary hearing with a new lawyer, where I was finally able to get temporary custody and have this submitted as an order. 5 months of violations were not acted upon, and no longer qualified as an emergency. I had to wait for additional violations to get a temporary hearing. When I changed lawyers, I also discovered that most of the new evidence was never added to my case file. The discovery period expired without filing for records, so the opposing counsel was able to block all attempts to get official school and medical records. There was no movement in this case for months, but once I changed attorneys, I got a lot of traction, was able to get in front of a judge, and gain temporary custody until a final hearing could be set.

I worked with them on a personal family law matter, and I'm incredibly grateful I did. Even as a fellow attorney, it's very different when you're the client. Andee and Elizabeth made a difficult and emotional process feel steady and manageable. They were calm, thoughtful, and practical at every turn. I always felt like they were focused not just on "winning," but on reaching the right outcome in the most strategic way possible. What stood out most to me was their balance -- they are measured and professional in negotiations, but clearly strong and confident in the courtroom. Knowing they were fully prepared to advocate for me if needed gave me tremendous peace of mind. They were also consistently responsive and communicative. I never felt left in the dark, and every question I had was answered with clarity and patience. Family law matters are deeply personal, and having someone you trust makes all the difference. I would recommend Hastings Shadmehry without hesitation to anyone who wants capable, ethical, and genuinely thoughtful representation.
