I didn't even get a chance to really talk to Mr. Grace. His attitude towards me from the beginning of the conversation was rude. He pretty much convicted me of my charge without really listening to what I was saying as a potential client. Straight off the bat told me.. what he was charging to pick up a pen.. and even higher if we go to trial like my family and I couldn't pay. The case I have is easy to defend but he was not the lawyer I would recommend for anyone.. he doesn't have your best interests at hand in my opinion

I honestly can not say enough good things about this law firm. This was my first time needing an attorney and a lawyer friend of mine recommended this firm. I am very glad I listened to her recommendation. I will not get into my details, but a situation arose that required Ken to go WAY above and beyond. He not only rose to the challenge but did everything extra that wouldn't have even been expected. Let me make sure I am being perfectly clear, Ken Tisdale, himself, not delegating it to his team (as amazing as they are), personally took care of me and my unique situation.

I could write so much and go on and on about this law firm. But like Tammy Jones said, it will probably be best not to. Word of mouth goes further anyways and with myself being pretty well known in Forsyth County with my businesses, I will be SURE that the word gets around and make sure no one gets lied to for their money ever again. Calling and trying to get a hold of GRACE is a pain. And waiting for a call back? Forget it. What kind of attorney doesn't want to fight for you? But instead, just insists that you plead guilty even though there was a 50/50 chance. There is always a chance if you just

Find a different attorney!
Would not recommend Chris Clifton whatsoever. Would not return phone calls, would not call detectives, was an absolute nightmare to deal with. On top of that, he was very rude when he did manage to call you back and was very condescending, despite his own incompetence. I had to end up getting this resolved myself through the court system with little to no assistance from Clifton, despite having paid him over $6,000. How he manages to get clients will continue to baffle me for years to come. Find another attorney.
