Jim Grimaldi, Attorney at Law, Inc. - Lincoln (IL)

5 /5 Tommy Langbein: Jim stuck by me for 18 months and coached me through the entire court system and even went to bat for me in trial. He wiped the floor with them and Im a free man with money coming back to me because of him.

1 /5 Lindsey Chamberlain: Corrupt!!! Ignores conflicts of intrest,he represented my boyfriend years ago on a case,then 5 years later is representing someone testifying and snitching on him. Its not about doing good business,it about making his money. Hes represented 75% of lincoln,and ignores whether hes sending people hes freed back to prison,and at thevend of the day my boyfriend and Jim have mutiple mutual friends,Jim knew WAY to much about my boyfriend to be able to represent someone telling on him,plus its just a bad look as a criminal defense lawyer,hes not what he was 5 years ago,he used to stand on buisness,the Jim we knew couldnt be swayed with a little money to just backstabb his client,the moneys got to his head.

2 /5 Ashley Johnson: My sister lost her rights of parenthood to 3 kids to dcfs,our mother gained custody ,the father of the children tried to break in and kidnap the 3 children in the middle of the night and my 55 year old mother defended herself,Jim represented the State and managed to take the 3 kids out of our families custody entirely,Jim had represented 2 of my family members in previous matters,I felt like betrayed me and my family and out trust to even be invoved in the case ,he was fundementally wrong for what he did and now 3 kids are lost to the system. And never see there mother, father, uncles aunts nieces or grandmothers.

5 /5 amanda johnson: I have been fighting state of Illinois for 12 years and I finally decided to get a lawyer and hired Jim Grimaldi. I was beat down by the state but having Jim by my side made feel very confident. Getting the phone call with the good news I honestly cried. I definitely recommend him. And I didnt feel like he was judging me.

5 /5 Stace Young: Jim has represented both me and my daughter in numerous cases, and has never let me down. The presence he commands when entering the courtroom is effortless- just a natural charisma. His negation skills are exceptional, and his ability to leverage his relationships within the area is unsurpassed by any other lawyer. His efficiency and timeliness allow for a quick turnaround with the arrangements he makes, I am never left waiting for weeks on end to determine a course of action for a case. Jim always keeps the best interest of the client at hand, and never agrees to a deal that he feels is not favorable. His enthusiasm for the legal process is bar-none and he will defend the law and what is just, no matter how much time it takes. I will continue to use Jim to appear on behalf of me in all legal representation, and will recommend him as a top-flight lawyer to all of my colleagues. I am going to leave you with a little story to illustrate the negotiation tactics that Jim “the lighthouse” Grimaldi uses when striking a deal with the DA, he basically stops them in their tracks, and they divert their course: Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees South to avoid collision. Americans: This is the captain of a US navy ship; I say again divert your course. Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THATS ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: We are a lighthouse; your call.
