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.

John Graves is a rock star!

A background check for work revealed an arrest on my record from 10 years prior which I did not think was there... as I had been told at the time of court appearance that it was dropped/resolved. This clerical error by the courts way back when had now put me at risk of losing the career I love and b...uilt if I did not provide a certified disposition of the charges being dismissed. After a failed attempt to obtain the disposition on my own I knew I needed to get a lawyer. I was referred to John Graves by a different attorney my wife uses for her business. From the first phone call John was fantastic. The combination of Covid times and a faulty court system turned this into a much more difficult task then expected. However he never waivered in his perseverance or quick response times regardless of if it was 7am or 9pm. Everything was resolved including the removal of this mishap from my record. While my case was not a big money maker for John he treated as though it was. There are not enough good adjectives to truly describe his amazing services. I would highly recommend him to any one!

Eternally grateful

I consulted with John P. Graves, Esq. during a difficult financial time for me, John was flexible and was able to work out a plan with me. He offered kind and personal attention to my case. I am glad I chose to have John represent me on such an important date, and I am grateful for the help and resol...ution he was able to provide. He was always very transparent and professional with the possible outcome for my case. If you’re debating between attorney Graves and another attorney you consulted with, don’t settle, choose someone you can trust!

Great service I would recommend

Since day one was extremely helpful and responsive, even outside of normal hours. Very personable professional who thoroughly explained every issue and outcome for my case. Got me the best result I could have asked for with exceptional service at an affordable price.

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.
