When I faced a dispute with a company for the first time in my life over damages that I had not caused, I was unsure of what to do when my best efforts to resolve the dispute were ignored by the company in question. I was in a situation where a collection agency was calling me and claiming I owed money when I knew I had not done anything wrong, so I pursued a legal solution. Monick Grenier was very professional and helpful when I contacted her, and she gave me a free consultation to discuss my options in dealing with the issue and was honest about the potential costs. I took her advice, and as a result I was able to defend against the false allegations against me. The collection agency stopped calling and my credit rating was protected. I knew the evidence was on my side, but I needed legal help to make the company I had a dispute with listen to me. If I ever have another legal dispute I know I will be contacting Monick, and I would gladly recommend her to anyone facing a legal dispute. She was able to help me get justice, and I couldn’t be happier with her work.”
I wish to express my total satisfaction in this unsolicited testimonial of the services rendered by Grenier Law. Though I am restricted in disclosing the details of the complicated and difficult case, suffice it to say, the settlement agreement reached surpassed all expectations and according to all my wishes. Ms Grenier’s personable and calm approach quickly instilled a confidence during a stressful and challenging time that kept me reassured, lessened the stress and grateful that Monick was my advocate. Monick’s professionalism in all aspects of this 14 month ordeal, demonstrated her knowledge and legal expertise, coupled with wisdom and discernment in a very compassionate and kind manner. Uncertain as to how this legal challenge was to play out, I couldn’t have been supported or served in a more professional and personable manner than I was in the person of Monick Grenier, Lawyer and Notary Public. Because of what I have experienced I can highly recommend Grenier Law to any potential client seeking professional, compassionate, legal representation.
I would like to recommend Monick L. Grenier to everyone looking for trust and truth. She is a great lawyer. I wasn’t sure which lawyer to hire for my case and I even changed my lawyer twice because they never gave me another option or did what I needed but Mrs. Monick answered all my questions and helped me to do what I wanted. I liked that she listened to my concerns and she asked me to update her on what happened with my case. Finally I got a discharge with no criminal record. She was my miracle. She also helped me with my application for a work permit and advised me. I’m very grateful and I appreciate what she did for me. She is the best choice and I feel very confident in her hands. Thanks a lot for everything. You are unforgettable.
