Joseph W. Grant

Joe has practiced law for 40 years in civil litigation with an emphasis in workers’ compensation law. For the past 15 years, much of his practice has involved mediation of workers’ compensation and general civil disputes. He enjoys and respects his colleagues at Prentiss Grant, and appreciates the camaraderie at the office. He and his wife, Mary, have four children and one grandchild. Much of Joe’s spare time is spent in yard maintenance at home, working out, or enjoying a cold brew with friends and neighbors.
