    Comfortable and Easy Process
    The experience I had with Gracia & Mintz was a very comfortable and easy process. They were very informed on my case and they moved at a very up-tempo pace on the matter. I came to them for assistance with a traffic/criminal violation case. I was able to receive the best possible outcome for my case, and I wouldn’t have chosen another firm. They kept me informed on the case and I had very few questions after speaking to them. I wish them nothing but the best.
    Sherrita Hall
    Saved my life
    I really can't say enough to give them the credit they deserve. I came from out of state and got myself into some trouble. A lot of lawyers didn't even return my phone call. But even though, living 400 miles away, and the chances of me being a repeat customer are pretty much zero, Erick especially worked very hard to get me a better outcome than I could've imagined. Absolutely saved my life from being forever altered. I even waited a while after the outcome because I couldn't figure out something to say that would do it justice, but I was reminded this week of how much their hard work will have a positive effect on the rest of my life. Thank you

    The best law firm
    This law firm is the best, and I would recommend them to everyone. I was in a very bad car accident with my grandson. The attorneys and paralegals worked with me to make sure we got the care we needed so that we could make a full recovery. They are very patient and worked hard to ensure I received a very fair compensation. I am so glad I discovered this law firm. Thank you for everything!
