Judge Grendell’s Judgment
Judge Grendell has issued over 20,000 judgments, rulings and orders at a .001 reversal rate.
Judge Grendell and his judgment has been recognized by fellow juvenile and probate court judges who have awarded him for his judicious handling of the Chardon shooting case, elected Judge Grendell to president of Ohio’s Juvenile Judges, Vice President of Ohio’s Probate Judges and a member of the Board for the National College of Probate Judges.
Just ask the attorneys who practice in our probate and juvenile courts. They will attest to Judge Grendell’s judicial judgment skills.
I have been Judge Grendell’s constable for over seven years and can personally attest to his judgment. Judge Grendell works tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of every child who comes before him. He gives them his personal cell phone number for them to call him if they need to talk someone.
Judge Grendell uses his personal time and money to have lunches, dinners and outings with the children. The court deals with a large amount of drug addicted parents. Judge Grendell goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the safety of each child in these bad situations. The judge also uses all resources the county has to offer to help addicted parents receive the help they need.
Finally, Judge Grendell follows the judgment of the Chief Justice of The Supreme Court of Ohio who encourages the courts to promote good will and education to the community.
John A. Ralph, Constable
Geauga County Probate/Juvenile Court
