Donald W Grimes Atty

Dishonest. They quoted me $ 525 over the phone and they charged me $ 575 at closing. Unprofessional. They expect me to know everything about buying a house. Their lack of communication led to problems at closing. I don’t do closings for a living. THEY DO! Their job is to guide me through it! Jerks. When I asked for copies of the closing documents, they spent 20 minutes pushing back to try to avoid the 5 minutes of work to actually do it. And they still didn’t provide ALL of the closing docs!

I have conducted several legal transactions with this attorney and all have been handled in the most professional and proficient manner possible. Mrs. Grimes has always been very personable, polite and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the law and has worked hard to assure everything goes well at the table. As in many legal transactions, mistakes were sometimes made and paperwork was mishandled. But without Mrs. Grimes’ meticulous attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile, I would have had to reschedule and delay affairs that were extremely important to me. I applaud the way she compliments Donald’s more passive style and makes things happen!

I close several real estate transactions each week, so I spend a lot of time in law offices around the Triangle area. My experiences at this particular office, have been the worst in my 9 years as a licensed real estate broker. Mrs. Grimes is the attorney’s wife/​office manager and she is incredibly rude. Most recently, I forgot to send her an invoice that was supposed to be paid on the settlement statement and she flipped out, literally screaming at me. She then refused to make the correction after I gave her the invoice in question. It was an honest mistake on my part and the verbal abuse I had to endure because of it is unacceptable. Poor Mr. Grimes is a nice man and he just sits quietly while she goes on and on. There are several good attorneys in the area, so go somewhere else where you can get decent customer service. I only gave one star because the system wouldn’t let me give zero.
