Gerald A Griggs, LLC

Hypocrite! You are a disgusting attorney and need to reevaluate your decisions! To make a call against free speech but defend someone who calls for hate and death saying it’s protected free speech. You are a horrible attorney with no integrity!

Mr Griggs is a subpar attorney with an inadequate working knowledge of the law. In my case, Griggs recommend a plea when my one charge was less the Georgia code. Eight weeks prior to my trial, the Georgia Court of Appeals had changed the applicable law requiring additional elements that were absent in my particular case. Griggs was unaware of the change. Why? Griggs did not prepare for my criminal trial. Griggs came to my criminal trial empty handed having no defense evidence or defense witnesses. He had a year to prepare for this trial and he did NOTHING. He did not even know the basic elements of the law. What kind of work did Griggs do for my $ 2800 retainer to prepare for trial? Did he contact witnesses? NO Did he investigate? NO… He filed 13 continuances.
Griggs claims to fight for his clients but knowing the law is paramount to winning any legal case. A lawyer who does not know the elements of the law will not prevail in court or recieve the most favorable plea. Potential clients should consider that Griggs own website lists numbers asserting 3000 clients in 8 years or 7.2 clients per week. Griggs may represent himself as a defender of his clients who frequently goes to trial… but these numbers shows that he is a plea attorney who occasionally is forced to trial. Most of his trials are not successful because Griggs has too many clients to prepare adequately for individual trials. Trials involve more work than he can afford to spend with any particular client and maintain his case load of 7.2 clients per week. He will try in every way to acquire a plea so he can keep your money and focus on the next client.
Hire at your own risk. Be aware that many bad reviews exist on this site and others regarding Mr Griggs. I am not the first client with this experience and I will not be the last. Since these opinion sites notify lawyers of bad reviews, any lawyer can have other «clients» post favorable reviews in an attempt to nullify the negative reviews. I am a real client who learned the hard way about the tactics of this lawyer.

Many of the positive reviews are bogus… they are being created by family and friends… note the dates??? Note the generalness of he reviews? Don’t be fooled.
