To Lauren Grimaldi, law is a helping profession.
She’s proud to be part of a team that provides exceptional legal representation without big city attitude, giving clients who have been seriously injured hope for a brighter future. By taking care of the practical aspects of the file, explaining the process and lending a sympathetic ear, she feels she’s making a real difference. “Helping people is inspiring,” she says.
Lauren is a talented researcher who relishes the opportunity to contribute to big files, drafting materials and putting them in an easy-to-navigate format. As a relatively young lawyer, she brings a fresh perspective to the file. “That’s the benefit of practicing in teams,” she says. “Two people working on something is better than one.”
