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!

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Graves was highly recommended, so I hired him for my DUI case. He was extremely thorough going through the files & very informative, He remained in close contact with me, and I felt very comfortable as we proceeded with the case. Thanks to his attention to detail, he was able to get me best case ...scenario.

Professional and Empathetic

John represented me on my 2nd DUI - He was so professional and empathetic to my situation He got the VERY LEAST that the law provided and I was so grateful. John really cares..he's not just a lawyer. John truly wants to help.

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.

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.
