Areas of Practice
It is our belief that individuals and small business owners should not have to pay top dollar to a large law firm for legal services or transactions that could be easily and more cost-effectively handled by a small yet highly experienced law office. We offer our clients the opportunity to avoid the over-lawyering of a transaction that often arises in a large firm setting when a partner, junior associate and paralegal are all employed, at the client's expense, to review the same document or work on the same matter. At the Law Offices of Lisa C. Grimes we possess the expertise to advise individuals and small businesses in connection with a wide variety of complex legal and business matters, including:
