Very Pleased with Jake Craven and the very quick outcome

I hired Mr. Craven on a Monday afternoon for a misdemeanor. He spoke with the State’s Attorney Office and had it NP (dropped, it had no merit) and filed to have it expunged from my record. This was by Thursday of that same week! I wish I had called him sooner and saved myself the aggravation and wor...ry over Something that a person filed against me that didn’t have merit. I thought it would have been dropped, but it wasn’t. It turned into a bench warrant issued for my arrest for failure to appear to a trial that I didn’t receive notice of. It just came in the regular mail after the warrant was issued. I was dumbfounded. Jake Craven took time to speak to me immediately, and walked me through best and worst case scenarios. He called me 48 hours after our first meeting to tell me the warrant was recalled and the charges were dropped! I would highly recommend him!

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.
