Joke of an attorney - DO NOT HIRE!

Completely rude, arrogant, unprofessional, and outright lacks class. She came recommended from a friend of mine, and walked me through the process, which was not helpful. Often laughing at me on the phone (as a client that has never been through this before), and even hanging up on me! If you’re in... a legal knot, do NOT hire Ms. Graves, you will be disappointed and eventually have to terminate her. Also, she never retired the unused portion of my retainer after I terminated her. A complete joke of an attorney! If you consider using her for anything, it will be a complete waste of money, I assure you!

Rude and condescending to clients

I hired Ms. Graves to handle a custody issue. At first she seemed nice enough, but when I started to ask questions about the process, my case, what I was expected to say in court, etc she was rude, sounded annoyed to receive questions from me and talked to me like I was an annoying child. When issues... surrounding your children are involved, that’s not the treatment you expect. Especially when paying a few thousand dollars in fees for one court appearance, with no discovery, and everything being handed to her to review. So disappointing to feel like she was not on my side during a very stressful time.

Great service (child support case)

I'd hired Ms Graves from a reference that was given to me and called her. From early in the consultation she asked questions and ran a small scenario as I was being cross-examined to prepare me for trial, then she took my paperwork, read-over the case and assured me a court victory. After weeks of... e-correspondence and uploading documents I consult with Ms. Graves in person at the courthouse. Once again, ran a small scenario also made sure the facts and paperwork was in order. While I sat in the courtroom the plaintiff (ex-wife) Ms. Graves and the city's child support lawyer was litigating in a separate room. Ms. Graves returned in a good mood telling me the results she came-up with and I'd agreed to the new child support terms and went before the judge with it. Ms. Graves is tough, "to the point" and no-nonsense but once she have all the facts she'll fight for the client to the end with very positive results, i'll use her services again without hesitation.

Knowledgeable, professional and engaging. After misplacing her information I jumped through hoops to find her again!

Immediately upon speaking with Ms. Graves I was made aware of her commitment to the pursuit of a fair and favorable outcome to my circumstances. Ms. Graves surpassed my expectations; seeking a thorough understanding of my situation, and helping me to align my position to achieve my ideal results. M...s. Graves in addition to providing her expertise, continued to encourage me and supported my desire to have a grasp of the legal options and opportunities at my disposal. She demonstrated a keen understanding and thorough knowledge of the law. As I need legal representation in the future, Ms. Carmiece Graves is at the top of my list.

The perfect person for my case.

After being referred to Mrs. Carmiece Graves attorney at law by another law firm I new immediately she was the perfect person to handle my case. I met Mrs Graves within a week after speaking to her over the phone and we spoke about my case for almost 2hrs. During that time we worked out the best ...way to approach and win this case. Mrs Graves was very clear about the steps I needed to take and documents I would need to provide. After filling a motion on my behalf with the court system it did not take long for results to bear fruit. Within about 2 months Mrs Graves had managed to get my case closed and my money returned. I really value her commitment and understanding to my situation and would refer her to anyone I know in a similar situation.
