"At a difficult time of your life, you would want an attorney like David Grimaldi. He is top-notch in all aspects that matter in a legal proceeding: formidable legal expertise, thorough and competent off-court preparations, effective and resonantly convincing in-court representation, and high-caliber professionalism. He is not only knowledgeable with the laws, but also well versed with humanity. He understands human nature and human interactions, which in turn helps him quickly grasp the essence of the matter at hand. I consider myself lucky that he was recommended to me by someone I trust and am glad that I did choose him as my attorney after extensive research myself. He always advocates for me and is always personable, attentive and responsive. He always gives his honest opinions and best advice, which is important in situations as serious as legal proceedings. I always thought that I had a good hand, but there was still a lot work to be done before the upper hand is materialized into the favorable result. He listened to me from the very beginning, grasped the keys of the matter quickly and executed the process as effectively as it deserved. The favorable result was then no surprise. I am very grateful for the superb job he has done for me. If you are looking for an attorney at a difficult time of your life, you are lucky that he is hereby recommended to you. As soon as you talk to him once or twice, you will know what I am talking about. It is still your decision, but I cannot recommend Attorney David Grimaldi enough as your representation at the hardest time of your life. He is that good."
