The lawyer you need by your side

John Graves is one of the most outstanding lawyers in the state. He is compassionate, understanding, knows exactly what he is doing. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to have represent me. Not only did he represent me but he has represented a lot of my family members and acquaintances. An exce...ptional person, a top notch lawyer. Never has failed me and definitely won’t fail you!

GREAT JOB!!!!

I hired John Graves to represent my young son in a matter involving alcohol, marijuana and disorderly conduct complaint. This was my son's first offense so we did not know what to do or expect. John easily connected with us and my son gaining everyone's trust. John explained my son's options and a...t the same time made him realize the seriousness of the situation. Ultimately, he went to court and end up with a very favorable outcome. I would recommend John Graves and definitely use him again for any legal service.

Gave me my life back

Sabrina Andrews and John Graves in the Law Office of John P. Graves are my go-to team for legal advice. Sabrina Andrews advised me through a stressful case regarding internet file sharing and saved me a minimum of $5000 by not settling and moving forward with the case, and winning. Most importantly, ...she gave me my life and sanity back. After speaking with her about my case, I knew she had everything covered. We ceased all communication to my apartment and she took the ball and ran with it. She made me feel at ease. And she explained everything to me in terms I could understand as a law-illiterate engineer. Besides helping me win my case, both Sabrina and John are good people. They truly care, want to help, and understand the stress of being in a legal suit. They do their job so you can continue living your life. I am so pleased with this team that I will go to them for all my legal needs in the future; I trust them to do an honest, quality job or reccommend someone who can. At the end of the day, I need a lawyer I can absolutely trust, and I have found that with this awesome team.

I hired him twice!

I hired John Graves on two separate occasions. Both were very different matters, and both outcomes were excellent. Better than I had imagined, I didn't even have to testify on one. John Graves is the professional you are looking for, respected and well known by every one in the court house from the c...lerks all the way up to the Judges! His mellow demeanor will calm your nerves as you are going through the process and you can relax knowing you are in good hands. I was even an out-of-state resident the last time, and he pulled strings to get me back on my plane in a timely fashion and back home! I highly recommend this seasoned, accomplished, successful, caring, compassionate man to chair your case as he did mine any day of the week! Annette

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 $

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.
