the nicest lawyer you will ever meet !

I hired John when I found myself in some legal trouble. Honesty, I was sacred and had no idea what to do or what the outcome would be. John was right there, every step of the way to help me through it. He broke everything down and made everything so easy to understand. He answered every single one of... my questions - let me tell you, I had millions of questions. He is extremely knowledgeable. He predicted what the outcome of my case would be from knowing very little during the consultation and he was correct. Everything was dropped !! I may just have been one of his many clients but I could tell that he honestly cares about each of his clients. From the very first phone call to the last one, he never stopped caring. John has a calming presence about him (which I never realized how important that was). I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about him. Hopefully I don't need a lawyer again, but if I ever did, I would hire John again.

Nothing but great things to say

I was charged with a DUI and contacted John because of positive things I had heard. He was prompt and responsive in scheduling a meeting to discuss the case. It was immediately evident how knowledgeable John was about his fields of expertise, one of which being DUIs. John was realistic in esta...blishing my expectations and possible options I had available to me. John wrote a memo to the court on my behalf which was very well written and well reasoned. He was always extremely respectful and kind to me and in his addresses to the court. He is also a genuinely nice person who obviously cares about his work. It was abundantly clear to me he carefully considered the circumstances of my case specifically instead of attempting to apply a one size fits all solution to me and his other clients. His rate was extremely fair, particularly considering the high quality of his service. I can not recommend John highly enough.

Helped Dismiss Restraining Order

I was very lucky to have found Attorney Graves when I did. A temporary restraining order was issued against me by my ex, which would have ruined my career. Mr. Graves' ability to gracefully mediate a very volatile and emotional situation towards a peaceful and meaningful resolution is why I think he ...is a five star lawyer. Mr. Graves made the situation very clear to me and always answered my countless questions. He made me feel at ease during a very stressful time. I credit Mr. Graves to getting me out of that situation. I am incredibly grateful and satisfied with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Attorney Graves for your legal needs!

Highly recommend John Graves for Lawyer services

I had an issue with my landlord and me being a tenant in an apartment, could not find many lawyers in the are to take up my issue. When i met John and went over my issue he was very concerned that the landlord should have never treated us the way they did. He agreed to study the details and later on ...we moved with hiring process and he handled the issue very effectively. I got my issue resolved with out even entering in to any court proceedings. His clarity, concern and ability to deal with the issue understanding the client needs is what i highly endorse. Thank you John

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.
