I just finished up working with Joseph Grippe on my case. It took nearly a year but he was there with me the entire time making sure everything was together and even made a lot of efforts without me mentioning a thing. Always gave me good advice based on what he thought would be good and always left it up to me no matter the decision. He also lived up to his promise of making sure that I would have to do as little as possible going into the case. A great attorney and very easy to work with so thank you Joe for your help and giving me a good first experience with an attorney -Nigene Green

I was hit by a DUI and had significant back injuries that resulted in my having surgery on my lumbar spine. Jason Gamsby was our attorney with Bartlett and Grippe and he and his team were amazing. He not only helped us get a great settlement but was incredibly kind, had a great sense of humor, and was wonderful whenever we had questions. Thank you so much for all of your help and for making the process easier for us!

Bartlett & Grippe exceeded my best expectations. I was getting no response from the insurance company on the promise to cover my medical bills after a car accident, and at the point of utter frustration, I decided to reach out to Frank Bartlett to see if working with him could help. I knew I didn't want a lawyer from a billboard -- I had plenty to handle and wasn't interested in a slick sales approach or being juggled by entry-level staff -- and was very impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and approachability of Frank and everyone I dealt with at Bartlett & Gripe. They were great to work with and delivered a payment that exceeded my highest expectations. I recommend them without hesitation.

As a male survivor, navigating this process has been incredibly challenging. When I first reached out to Frank Bartlett at Bartlett & Grippe, it was on a random day at a random time, yet he stopped everything to truly listen to me. Despite the complexity of my situation, he was willing to help and advised me to call again if I couldn’t find proper representation. When I did call back, Frank personally guided me, not only helping me with the Office of the Victim Advocate but also speaking up for my rights as a victim. Unfortunately, I later chose to move forward with another law firm—only to discover they were lazy, unmotivated, and clearly did not have my best interests at heart the way Frank Bartlett did. After realizing my mistake, I reached back out to Frank, and he responded in under 30 minutes with exactly what I needed. That speaks volumes about his professionalism and genuine care for clients. Without a doubt, I would return to Mr. Bartlett and fully trust him and his firm to handle my case with the dedication and integrity they’ve already shown me. Thank you, Mr. Bartlett, for everything you’ve done.
