I was born and raised in Anderson, Indiana, the son of a carpenter and a homemaker.  I attended Lapel High School in Lapel, Indiana and then went on to Indiana University and obtained a degree in Telecommunications and English.  During the summers between school I worked for my dad's construction company.  At IU, I worked toward my dream of being a TV broadcaster.  But somewhere on the way, Law became my calling.  In Law School at Valparaiso University, I developed a passion for criminal law when I interned with a criminal defense lawyer in Porter County.. After graduation from law school, I took my first job as a law clerk for the Honorable Judge Daniel Heath of the Allen County Superior Court.  I then went to work for a criminal defense firm in Fort Wayne before starting my own firm along with others, in 2001.  Since then, Jeffrey Terrill and Albert Anzini, III have joined us.  We continue to defend the accused with passion.. I am happily married since 1999 and have three children who are my purpose in life.  I am a tortured Chicago Cubs fan as well, but love every minute of it.

I am the anti-attorney.  I buck the system at every turn because I believe the system is broken.  I have seen the old way of dictating to families and business owners how their plans should work.  I've seen how attorneys run roughshod over clients.  Enough is enough.. I want to protect my family.  I want to know the rules and the options.  I want to decide what is best and understand the documents I sign.  I want to work with my advisors, not be a victim.  I want things to be as easy as possible on my family when I can no longer take care of them.. I believe most people feel the same way.  That's why I started Grunden Law Office.  My goal is to make the estate planning process easy and comfortable by explaining the rules of the road; offering advice; empowering my clients to protect their families; deliverying a complete plan that accomplishes their goals; and follow-up to be there as things change.. No fluff.  No confusing legal jargon.  My passion is to building lasting client relationships with clients who feel they have real choices and understand how their plan works.  Help when it's needed and periodic reviews to ensure a lasting legacy.  Security and comfort in knowing it's taken care of.  That's my passion and my promise.

I am passionate about justice and strive to give each case in my office the individual care and concern it deserves.  My passion for justice carries over to non-professional activities as well.  I am the on the boards of the Indiana Center for Middle East Peace, Arab Fest - Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne for Refugees and the Freedom House.  I am also a member of the National Lawyers Guild.

Experienced trial attorney with 20 years litigating complex drug trafficking, gang, and violent crime cases. In April of 2020, I joined the firm of Arnold Terrill, P.C., with the desire to put my extensive trial and litigation experience into practice defending those who have been charged with criminal offenses.. However, for 17 years prior to joining Arnold Terrill, P.C., I was employed as the deputy prosecutor in charge of the Vice and Narcotics division of the Allen County Prosecutor's Office. In that role, I oversaw the prosecution of every felony drug, gang and firearm prosecution in Allen County, Indiana--literally thousands of felony cases. During that time, in addition to conducting at least 120 jury trials related to drug and gun prosecution, I also conducted at least 15 murder trials.  In addition to having invaluable trial experience and instincts, I also possess a deep understanding of an individual's consittutional rights--especially those associated with search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process and the right to counsel in criminal prosecutions.  In my position at the Allen County Prosecutor's office, it was my job to oversee thousands of search warrants and to review every felony case for potential violations of the constitutional rights of the citizens of Indiana. As a result of my knowledge in these areas, I refused to file cases in which a police officer clearly violated the constitutional rights of a suspect--either knowingly or inadvertently (most violations are inadvertent).  Due to this policy, during my 17 years overseeing the Vice and Narcotics Division, only a handful of the cases I approved were thrown out as a result of a defense motion to exclude the evidence.. If you should choose me to represent you during this difficult time in your life, I promise to utilize my many years of experience to provide you with the best possible defense that these years of experience can provide.  Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and I look forward to representing you.
