Straightforward and Helpful Advice

This lawyer represented me in court and did an excellent job. He was prepared, confident, and knew exactly how to handle the situation. He explained everything beforehand so I knew what to expect, and in court he was calm, professional, and assertive. Having him by my side made a stressful experience... much easier, and I truly felt that he had my best interests at heart. I’m very grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs strong legal representation.

No regrets . . . great success with John P. Graves, Esq.

John's demeanor and knowledge immediately put me at ease. He thoroughly explained the proceedings and not once did he rush me through it. We had ongoing discussions every step of the way. John's devotion and knowledge provided a favorable outcome on my behalf and for that I am extremely grateful.

Excellent well rounded attorney

Mr John Graves is an excellent attorney. He had represented me several years ago in a court case and I found him to be thorough, well versed and knowledgeable of the law, compassionate to his client, and has excellent communication skills. I had the chance to sit down with him recently to discuss my ...legal options following a motor vehicle accident. I felt very comfortable that I was receiving the best legal advice I could potentially get. Everyone hopes that they will never find themselves in need of a lawyer, but when you undoubtedly find yourself in that situation, make sure John is your first call.

Highly recommended

I had a very difficult case and had no idea where to even start. I was recommended to John by another lawyer. From our first meeting, I felt very much at ease and confident moving forward. John thoroughly answered every one of my questions at every step of the process, and was very clear about each n...ext step moving forward. John is knowledgeable, practical, thoughtful, kind, and thoroughly explores every possibility. He really listens and cares very deeply to get the best possible outcome for his clients. If I ever need legal services again, John is definitely my first call.

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.
