By Staff
A man accused of deliberately backing his SUV toward a trooper following a high-speed chase in November 2008 has been found not guilty of aggravated and simple assault.
A Cumberland County jury returned its unanimous verdicts on Joshua Michael Grimes, 27, of the 500 block of Opossum Lake Road, Lower Frankford Township, after several hours of deliberation this afternoon.
However, the jury did find Grimes guilty of two counts of recklessly endangering a law enforcement officer and one each of fleeing and eluding law enforcement and resisting arrest.

Testimonials
Justin, I believe, is the best bar none. Not only just in the courtroom but also for just being a great guy. I’ve always been told not to trust an attorney but Justin I trust along with the whole firm.

Tim and I met recently at a California seminar I was coordinating. He demonstrated his commitment to handling criminal defense cases by virtue of his remarkable attentiveness to the difficult curriculum of this course, taught primarily by toxicologists, doctors, chemists and pharmacologists. No path for trial attorneys is easy, and prior preparation is of critical importance. Tim has made that commitment, and has shown that he will be prepared when he accepts a case for a citizen charged with a crime. By mastering this course, he has shown that he is ready for the challenges of any client’s case.

Justin is an extraordinarily dedicated advocate who cares very much for the profession and his clients. There are many lawyers who have reputations that are undeserved; some were never any good to begin with and others were great once but have lost the passion for their work. Not Justin. He’s the genuine article.
