This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Would not recommend

I was disappointed with my experience working with this attorney. Their communication style felt unnecessarily harsh, and interactions often came across as abrasive rather than helpful. I expected a level of professionalism and courtesy that simply wasn’t there. While everyone has different expectati...ons, the overall tone and approach made the process more stressful than it needed to be. Based on my experience, I would be hesitant to recommend their services.

Without knowing who this is and the matter involved, I cannot properly respond. I have had very few new clients in the last 10 months or so. This appears to be more of a consult than a representation.

Great Service

Graig helped us with our deal to buy a home in Hopewell. He is very thorough with his knowledge and gave us inputs throughout the process of Attorney Review, Inspection & Contingencies and Closing. He explained us all documentation very well at the time of closing before we actually signed anything. ...The experience was very smooth and friendly. Would highly recommend Graig for his services.

A lawyer with a heart, a brain, and a soul. And he uses them all. Who knew it was even possible?

I am a business & financial planning consultant. I work pretty much nationwide. I was sued for "fraudulent transfer" in a New Jersey bankruptcy court by one of my best former clients---one for whom I had worked five years and actually done pretty well. But this guy (my former client) was a big tal...ker and a dreamer, and he landed himself in a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, represented by a lawyer who was positively legendary (I found out) in New Jersey). It all started last summer at a moment when I was particularly short on cash. I must have spoken to three dozen lawyers all over New Jersey. On hearing the name of the lawyer who was representing my former client, every one of these lawyers said, "OH NO." Now, I knew that my former client's case was not only frivolous on the merits but time-barred. So I had to start off by representing myself pro se. I got ONE count knocked out on the first motion to dismiss, so I did "OK" on my own, but couldn't get the case to go away completely, and I knew I couldn't possibly represent myself in Court, go to trial on my own, or anything like that---"anyone who represents himself in Court has a fool for a lawyer," right? So I continued talked to even more lawyers in New Jersey. Somehow, someway, I found (this is going to sound so corny, but I believe it): somehow God sent me to Graig Corveleyn. Graig Corveleyn not only accepted my case on what I can only call very reasonable terms, he showed no "fear, shock or awe" at the idea of defending me against this very senior, very prestigious, New Jersey Bankruptcy Lawyer who was, like I say, to every other lawyer in the state, some kind of "Legend of Superman." Even in our initial interviews, I could tell that Mr. Corveleyn knew the Bankruptcy Courts and the applicable law backwards and forwards. He took my case, even though he knew he was fighting this "Superhero Super-lawyer" on the other side.... As I say, I work nationwide, so I have literally dealt with lawyers everywhere from Boston, Mass, and Bangor, Maine, to Wasilla, Alaska, and Waikiki, Hawaii. I normally have a rather dim view of lawyers---they are conformists who cannot think outside the box or imagine anything that is new, different, or outside whatever there cookie-cutter specialty is. In Graig Corveleyn, I found someone who actually COULD see the forest and the trees, and notice that there was smut on the bark and rot inside of even on some of the oldest and biggest growths in the whole forest. And he could see the justice on my side---even though I'm a very unusual case. Did you read that, folks, "he could see justice....even in a very unusual case." THAT is really unusual in a lawyer, and it makes Graig Corveleyn a real hero---not a legend because he's been around forever and had really big clients in the past (that was my opponent's lawyer), but because Graig Corveleyn has eyes to see and ears to hear, a discerning mind and a heart to sympathize. As of this moment, my case isn't over yet. Graig has not waivered, not dropped the ball, not showed any sign of quitting....even though the flow of money has been more regularly in the negative than in the positive towards him. That's because he has a brain and a heart to see a winnable case even in an unusual and difficult situation. I expect Graig Corveleyn will one day be a legend himself. Not because of my case (although who knows? The other side is strangely persistent in the face of one defeat and setback after another), but because of who he is and how he does what he does. Graig Corveleyn has worked inside the system with the U.S. Trustee's office---I don't quite understand how all that works in Bankruptcy Court, but that's why we need lawyers, right? He knows all the Judges and what's normal, abnormal, and downright crazy/fruity. Bankruptcy Courts are Courts of equity and I would have to say, Graig Coveleyn's sense of equity and fairness is almost unparalleled in any lawyer I have ever met.
