Grim, Biehn & Thatcher

What Grim, Biehn & Thatcher does

Grim, Biehn & Thatcher, P.C. is a private Pennsylvania professional corporation founded in 1895 and headquartered in Perkasie, Bucks County. The firm traces its origins to 1889 when Webster Grim opened offices in Doylestown, with Harry Grim establishing the Perkasie presence in 1895 that remains the firm's headquarters today. The current entity was formed through the 1989 merger of Grim & Grim and Biehn & Thatcher of Quakertown. The firm operates as a full-service regional law practice with over 20 attorneys and a support staff, organized across nine practice areas: business/commercial/taxation, litigation, criminal law, family law, landlord/tenant, municipal/zoning law, personal injury, real estate, and wills/estates. Multiple generations of the Grim family continue to practice, including fourth-generation members Gregory E. Grim (CEO) and Colby S. Grim.

The firm serves a diversified client base including individuals, small/midsize/large businesses, municipalities, financial institutions, hospitals, and non-profit organizations. A significant portion of the practice is dedicated to municipal law, with the firm serving as solicitor to approximately twenty municipal entities across Bucks, Delaware, Monroe, Montgomery, and Northampton counties. The firm operates an affiliated title agency, Laurel Abstract Company, which provides integrated title insurance and closing services for real estate transactions. Services are delivered through in-person office consultations, telephone, email, and online meetings, with primary geographic focus on southeastern Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley.

The revenue model is traditional professional services billing, with fees determined by engagement scope, complexity, and attorney time. The firm offers a free initial consultation for criminal defense matters. Distribution is entirely direct (attorney-to-client) with no intermediary channels, and marketing relies on reputation, community involvement, referrals, and a content marketing presence via website, blog, and social media. The firm has no external investors, PE/VC backing, or parent company, and operates as a traditional shareholder-owned professional corporation with no disclosed technology platform or proprietary systems.
