Experienced Across Multiple Practice Areas

I worked with this attorney on a case involving criminal defense and was impressed by how well-rounded and experienced he is across multiple areas of law. His knowledge of criminal defense, DUI/DWI cases, domestic violence matters, and family law is clear, and he understands how these issues often ov...erlap. He was thorough, strategic, and always professional, both in and out of court. I felt supported every step of the way and confident in the representation I received. I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney with broad experience and strong courtroom skills.

DUI Dismissal

I hired John when I was charged with DUI. John showed great attention to detail and care for my case. With his help, the DUI was dismissed. I would highly recommend John to anyone in need of a professional, smart and caring lawyer!

Top Caliber Attorney

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have had John Graves represent me in my previous court case. I was charged with speeding over 40 mph, obstructing traffic, and (driver) possession of an open alcoholic container. Two of these three charges came with substantial fines and points on my license.... We settled with the prosecution for a mere 9-mph speeding charge. This result far exceeded my expectations for the case, given the evidence against me. John was result-oriented throughout the process, extremely committed to our goal settlement, quite knowledgeable, well-versed in the courtroom, and quickly addressed any concerns that I had. I highly recommend John as an attorney and am positive that your experience will be similar to mine. Thanks John!

MR. Graves a Life Saver

MR. Graves was recommended to me by my cousin when I was in deep. I was never in trouble with the law and when I came Mr. Graves he made the process very easy for me to understand answered all my questions and was with me every step of the way. I was charged with second degree sexual assault and Mr. ...Graves could see with my personality I did not do it and he fought for me every inch of the way making sure i was comfortable with decisions being made and ultimately making sure I didn't spend the rest of my life with this above my head. Mr. Graves spent endless hours going over every detail to make sure every story added up to find the truth and once he did man was he persistent. Having Mr. Graves on my side defending me was and is the best decision I ever made and I can promise he will be yours too.

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.
