Fantastic Job

John was fantastic in dealing with the court in getting early termination to probation for my son. John always kept us informed and worked extra hard to expedite the manner and see it though to completion. Couldn't be more satisfied with his work and communication during the whole process.

Excellent guidance, complete professional

I consulted with John recently and not only did John go well beyond the standard hour with no additional cost, he was honest enough to advise me against retaining his services, and offered alternate strategies of patience and diligent documentation. John demonstrated a great command of both the law a...nd the courtroom, as well as the foresight to project probable outcome. I will be retaining John if the situation warrants.

Disappointed to be in the position to have to work together, but, glad we did nonetheless.

John is a straight-shooter and did a great job on my case. I was facing substantial penalties/suspensions, however, due of his research efforts, resources and negotiating, all were brought to a minimum. Should the situation warrant one, John is definitely the kind of attorney you want to be workin...g with. -KM

GREAT JOB!!!!

I hired John Graves to represent my young son in a matter involving alcohol, marijuana and disorderly conduct complaint. This was my son's first offense so we did not know what to do or expect. John easily connected with us and my son gaining everyone's trust. John explained my son's options and a...t the same time made him realize the seriousness of the situation. Ultimately, he went to court and end up with a very favorable outcome. I would recommend John Graves and definitely use him again for any legal service.

Gave me my life back

Sabrina Andrews and John Graves in the Law Office of John P. Graves are my go-to team for legal advice. Sabrina Andrews advised me through a stressful case regarding internet file sharing and saved me a minimum of $5000 by not settling and moving forward with the case, and winning. Most importantly, ...she gave me my life and sanity back. After speaking with her about my case, I knew she had everything covered. We ceased all communication to my apartment and she took the ball and ran with it. She made me feel at ease. And she explained everything to me in terms I could understand as a law-illiterate engineer. Besides helping me win my case, both Sabrina and John are good people. They truly care, want to help, and understand the stress of being in a legal suit. They do their job so you can continue living your life. I am so pleased with this team that I will go to them for all my legal needs in the future; I trust them to do an honest, quality job or reccommend someone who can. At the end of the day, I need a lawyer I can absolutely trust, and I have found that with this awesome team.

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.
