BEWARE and AVOID. Scam Artists.

BEWARE and AVOID. $21,900.00 TOTAL SCAM paid for Sabrina Andrews going SILENT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE. Sabrina Andrews’ EXCUSE after she lost the case was, “I NEVER SAW THAT HAPPEN BEFORE” and “THE JUDGE JUST WENT ROGUE.” Andrews is weak, meek and inexperienced. She talks a good game in her office whil...e she’s charging your credit card for services in advance, but she CRUMBLES IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE. She talked a lot of strategy, but completely Failed to represent her client in the courtroom. YOU WOULD BE BETTER TO REPRESENT YOURSELF rather than hire these two. Graves could have assisted Andrews, but I believe he is too exhausted to bail her out of all her cases. If you care about your time, money and family DO NOT hire John Graves or Sabrina Andrews. Be sure to read earlier posts that “Graves and Andrews” buried by offering incentives for posting good reviews here.

Very disappointed

Wouldn’t use him again. Was very nice in the beginning but charged me 5,000 for 2 different minor cases. After he got his money he didn’t show much interest or concern and only 1 of the 2 cases was dismissed because the court found there to be no case so it was nothing on his doing. The other was a c...ontingent dismissal. Very disappointed and he kept harassing me to leave a positive review so I did because I felt uncomfortable and was still in contact with him at the time. I’m not one to write negative reviews I actually never have but I feel like I was ripped off big time & I probably would’ve been fine without having a lawyer at all. Just speaking the truth find someone who’s not out just to rob you of your $

A major disappointment!

John Graves was retained by me for his legal representation, which I must say once he was knee deep in the case I realized his fees were way above the local rates and he overcharges for his services. I didn't like the fact that my phone calls often were not returned. John Graves adjourned my court d...ates repeatedly for his convenience. When we did get a court date assigned, he was always late showing up to the court room! John Graves for some reason failed to provide my Discovery in a timely manner. He also left my questions unanswered until the last minute. This left me extremely frustrated. If you're going to spend 5 or 10 thousand dollars, even more sometimes on counsel you expect professionalism and better service than this. You can hire better attorneys for the amount of money he charges. Anonymous.

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.
