What a Blessing

I am a father of 4 and to date have avoided any dealings with the criminal courts or the attorney’s that operate in them. However, this changed one evening over spring break 2017. My oldest son was arrested for possession of alcohol and I was forced to decide if I needed and could afford represent...ation for my son. I called multiple attorneys that evening and made a quick decision to ask Trisha Graham to represent my son. This ended up being a huge blessing in what was a challenging time for our family. Trisha was professional like you would expect but she went beyond that. My son was 18 so his situation was made very public via social media not just in Florida but back home as well. This attention, as well as having to not just guide my son (her client) but a concerned parent through the process, required more time and energy from Ms Graham. She was gracious with the emotions of my son and myself and advocated behind the scenes aggressively for a favorable resolution. Ms Graham never cut any corners and never asked for additional fees. I am grateful for her support through this process!

Trisha took the time to reply to my question in a very detailed manner. Trisha obviously is very experienced in the juvenile court system and I greatly appreciate her taking the time to reply. Thank you!

Outstanding Attorney

Trisha did an amazing job. We are thrilled and would highly recommend her. She went above and beyond to handle my sons case.

words cannot explain how amazing she is

Miss Graham helped me out with my aggravated assault case. I explained to her that my actions were in self-defense and to ask for the security footage. She got all the evidence and fought with tooth and nail to prove my innocence. She got my case dismissed. No Prosecution. She got me the result I pr...ayed for. She is such an amazing lawyer. I cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend her.

Worked great and hard for my son

Trisha represented my son in a juvenile case and turned some very serious felony charges into a plea that will not be put onto his record. She was great and always answered my phone calls or returned them promptly and did her case work and reviewed all the evidence thoroughly.

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.
