The most honest and knowledgeable firm you could wish for…read more A year ago, I hired Todd Grace to counsel my son and me on a major university matter that could have been expensive. I paid them a $1000 retainer, and we spent at least an hour discussing the issue and our options. One of the recommendations Todd made was to recruit a faculty representative to assist us, which we did. My son had a series of short phone calls with Todd, and Todd assisted us with the paperwork needed to assure the best possible outcome. Todd's recommendations were, as the Brits say, "spot on" - he really understands both the theory and the practice of OU policy and procedures. The outcome was, as he suggested, "the best possible, under the circumstances." I was aware that we had unlikely used all $1000 of our retainer, but the outcome was so good, and my 40-year business experience with other attorneys was so poor that I didn't expect a refund, and didn't request one. I once paid a New York attorney $20,000 to handle a case where $120,000 was at stake - he blew the service of the papers - and never refunded a dime. However, today, on the one year anniversary of our meeting with Todd, I received a letter with a check for $660, the unused portion of our retainer. You don't find more honorable and knowledgeable people in the law profession than Grace and McGee. If you need an attorney in the Athens area, HIRE THEM!
