Mr. Grimes is by far the best lawyer I have ever encountered in my life. I found him by luck, a close friend referred me to her lawyer who in turn referred me to Mr. Grimes when he realized he wasn’t the right fit for my case. I ran into concerning times with my Grandmother, her not allowing the medical help she required. With family members moving with lack of integrity I knew what I was taking on was a big feat. Jack reassured me that there would be a positive outcome no matter what and that he wouldn’t allow anything other of the sorts. He fought for the safety and well being of my Grandmother

Grimes Legal Services is great - Jack is knowlegeable, professional, and incredibly responsive. He knows federal contracting and has extensive experience working with large and small businesses, inside and outside of the federal government, and offers practical, implementable advice. He takes the time to explain the "why" and distills legalese to straightforward, easy-to- understand language. We always feel we receive tremendous value from his reviews and counsel. He has been a great partner for our team and we can't recommend Grimes Legal Services highly enough.

Jack Grimes is a knowledgeable and skilled attorney with considerable passion for assisting others. He particularly enjoys helping former military and law enforcement folks (like me) create and maintain small businesses. He has helped me develop a legally sound private practice, and he is always prepared to guide me across whatever legal landscape I may be facing. He is responsive and fair, and he has offered invaluable advice - not only my current endeavors, but with my future growth in mind. He is a lawyer with experience and integrity, and I'm grateful to have him in my corner.

Jack Grimes is an exceptional lawyer and human being. He enjoys sharing his expertise in a way that makes the client understand exactly what they are dealing with, and how to move forward. He is empathetic and sincere to your needs. He gets that not only are you feeling overwhelmed, but also dealing with the grief of loss that has to get put on the back burner until complex financial matters are worked out.

Mr. Grimes was a pleasure to work with! He took the time to explain things in great detail and was extremely patient with my many questions. I never felt rushed and was always treated with the utmost respect. He is extremely knowledgable and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. His honesty and integrity were refreshing. He was very helpful in navigating the legal nuances of starting a new business. I would highly recommend him.

Jack Grimes was amazing! We waited far too long to get a plan together and it was making me anxious. We met with Jack over multiple sessions where he walked us through each step and all of our options for our will & estate planning so that we could make educated decisions. He patiently answered (and at times, re-answered - I tend to overthink and confuse myself) our questions. We now have a complete, detailed plan and I feel infinitely better. I enthusiastically endorse and recommend Jack Grimes for his expertise, patience, thoroughness, and commitment to helping his clients get things right.
