Great Attorney

I hired Graven to handle a ignition interlock issue and he and his staff where great. He will set you at ease, answer all your questions, and get the job done! Great guy to have in your corner. Highly recommended. Christopher H

Really good lawyer -- would recommend

We retained Mr. Craig for my son for some traffic and criminal charges in Orange, VA in 2015 and the end results were a lot better than I thought they would be and I was very happy with his representation of my son in court. I would highly recommend this attorney for any traffic or criminal charges.... He seems very knowledgeable and knows the people and area well which is a positive when going up against the police and the court system.

Traffic Accident Case

Mr Craig was my attorney in a traffic accident case. The first time I went to court, I was found guilty and had to appeal the case. I knew that I was not at fault. Being found not guilty was extremely important to me and for my work, because I have a CDL class A drivers license. Mr Craig was able to ...show all the facts, and convinced the judge to drop the case. Mr Craig was very nice to work with and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Mr Graven W Craig.

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.
