About Robin A.
Robin A. Grinnalds began his academic journey at the University of Connecticut, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1977. He returned to legal study later and received his J.D. from Southwestern University School of Law in 1985. Those formative years set a steady course for a long legal career that has spanned state and federal courts.
After law school, Grinnalds became active in Illinois’s legal community. He is admitted to practice in Illinois and to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He is also a current member of the Illinois State Bar Association. Over the years he has built a professional life centered on courtroom practice and courtroom procedure, working alongside colleagues at Ed Fox & Associates, Ltd.
At Ed Fox & Associates, Ltd., Grinnalds serves as a lawyer handling matters filed in Illinois courts and in the federal district that covers Chicago and the surrounding area. His admission to the Northern District federal bar means he appears in both state and federal proceedings. That standing lets him take cases that require federal filings, hearings before magistrate judges and district judges, and coordination across court systems.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He prepares records, manages filings, and argues motions. He also works on discovery and trial preparation when cases move beyond preliminary stages. Outside the courtroom he maintains membership in professional circles through the Illinois State Bar Association, which keeps him connected to developments in state law and court practice.
Grinnalds practices in a law office environment that handles litigation matters across multiple forums. He has practiced law since earning his J.D. in 1985 and has developed experience in navigating procedural and evidentiary questions that arise in contested cases. In 2026 he continues his work as a lawyer at Ed Fox & Associates, Ltd., concentrating on litigation in state and federal courts.
