Firearms attorney

After several other attorneys tried to get my firearms returned, John Graves got the job done. The results speak for themselves.

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.

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!

Fantastic Representation

Recently retained John's services for an unfortunate DWI issue that was - of course - no one's fault but my own. He was upfront and honest with the process and likely outcome from the start and did not try to sell me on any impossibilities. I felt informed through the entire process and was well guid...ed every step of the way. Having retained the services of several law firms through the years, I can say with confidence that John is professional, honest, friendly, and - of high importance to many - fairly priced. I have no regrets with my decision to hire Mr. Graves.

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.

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.
