Hear from our clients

Julia Westley did a great job on my case. I had a fairly involved and high profile case ... and I wasn't the easiest client to work with. But Julia did a great job and when it came to trial she curated all of her resources at the firm to help. Another attorney, Benjamin Becker, was also involved in the trial and was very knowledgeable and a great compliment to Julia. My outcome was exactly what it should have been thanks to their hard work and dedication to justice.

I'm an attorney from Oklahoma, and I called Julia Westly to seek help with a client of mine in Wisconsin. Julia was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about WI DUI law. A kind and competent attorney who extended a helping hand to someone in need. Highly recommended. She knows her stuff. Thank you!

Tom is an expert when it comes to firearms related charges. If you have a firearm related charge don't go to an attorney that doesn't have this expertise. Tom has ability and know how to fight your case like no other attorney will. Grieve law will treat you like family. You cant ask for a better team to be fighting for your lively hood. Thank you for being a stand up guy Tom.

Grieve Law has the best Criminal Defense team ever! I just can't express how thankful I am to Tom, and his team, for truly taking the edge off of an extremely stressful situation. This is due to the quality time spent with me and excellent (truly non judgmental) listening skills. I was really taken care of and so happy with the outcome. I would hire them again in a heart beat!
