Awesome attorney and great person

I had a great experience with Mr. Graves. He came highly recommended by a close friend. This was my first time needing an attorney so I was nervous and had lots of questions. I got a good feeling about Mr. Graves when I sat down to talk with him about my case. He has a pleasant demeanor, is a good ...listener, makes eye contact (which I found reassuring and comforting) and I always found him to be professional, confident and extremely prepared, especially for court. He kept me updated on everything and returned my phone calls promptly, which I definitely appreciated. He was happy to meet with me whenever I wanted to discuss something with him in person. I appreciated his honesty with the advice and recommendations he made because it allowed me to make smart and informed decisions. One more thing - if you’re going to trial (which we did), you will be relieved to find that John is gifted in the courtroom. He definitely knows his way around the courtroom and I enjoyed watching him cross examine the other side. I’m happy I hired John, glad things worked out well for me, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr. Graves to anyone looking for a great attorney who will fight hard for you.

Excellent!

I've had the occasion to retain Mr. Graves on a legal matter recently. He came highly recommended by another attorney. I found him to be honest with his advice (even if he thought I wouldn't like it), fair, accessible and professional. Mr. Graves handled my issues expeditiously and the outcome was ex...actly what he had advised me to expect. I would highly recommend Mr. Graves when you are in need of an attorney. Joseph

Excellent Attorney

In an age where the "bar" for a good attorney is so low, we don't expect much, John and Sabrina are a breath of fresh air. They are highly competent, compassionate and their communication was beyond any expectation I had. I have worked with quite a few attorneys and while there are no safe bets or ...guarantees, these guys are the closest thing to it.

Perfect team!

John Graves and Sabrina Andrews are quite the team! I hired him to represent me as I needed a permanent restraining order against my husband. He walked me through the process, answered all of my questions, and my mother's as well. He eased my doubts and Sabrina was extremely attentive. His calmness... in the courtroom made me feel at ease especially while being crossed examined by the the other lawyer. In all honesty, you will be in great hands when you hire them! Very professional and knowledgeable!

Great Job

John, in all honesty is an amazing lawyer. He got me through a tough case, I thought I was in deep trouble. I hired him and he gets it dismissed with one conversation with the prosecutor. He is a well spoken and generous man. John Graves took time out of his work week to treat my small misdemeanor ca...se like a Supreme Court trial my life was riding on. He works with you and the court to find the best outcome possible for you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
