On April 2,2019,President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Grimberg to serve as a United States district judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On April 4,2019,his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Grimberg to the seat vacated by Judge Richard W. Story,who assumed senior status on December 1,2018.

On November 19,2020,Grimberg threw out a lawsuit brought by a Trump supporter concerning the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Grimberg found that the plaintiff asserting fraud and improprieties in the election lacked standing to sue,waited too long after the election to file their case,and otherwise demonstrated "no basis in fact or in law" for blocking certification of Joe Biden's narrow victory over Trump in Georgia. [9] [10] [11] On August 5,2022,Grimberg ruled that holding statewide elections for a Georgia utility regulatory body discriminates against Black voters and delayed the elections scheduled for November to a later date.
