Colleen Adkins DeGraff

Colleen DeGraff was absolutely outstanding. She was extremely responsive, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand every detail of my case and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled efficiently and thoroughly. Her dedication, expertise..., and attention to detail truly set her apart. I couldn’t be more grateful for her support—an exceptional attorney who genuinely goes the extra mile for her clients.

Ms. DeGraff went above and beyond representing my daughter. She did a phenomenal job. If you have a criminal case, I highly recommend hiring her. She fought like a champion from the beginning to the end and truly has your back every step of the way. Also, she not only had great communication with my ...daughter she kept us (family) very informed and up-to-date on everything. Ms. Colleen, I want to thank you for everything you and your team at the firm did.

Mrs DGraff represented me on a case where I was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor, and at the time of that arrest I was actually on probation so then I VOP'd. She took the time to look over every aspect of my case, all evidence, videos, written documents and my case turned out better than I... could have ever hoped. The entire case ended up getting thrown out and then for my VOP she ended up getting that squashed as well. You're only hurting yourself if you don't hire her she's one of the one who actually cares and takes the time not only to treat you like a human being and not a paycheck but I feel she legitimately cares about helping out!!! If I could give more than five stars I would, if you're this thank you again Mrs Degraff!!

I was assigned Mrs. DeGraff as a public defender in the 18th circuit Florida. She was quickly reassigned off my case as she had to take maternity leave, but not before she personally handled depositions. As I have moved through several offices and numerous court appointed attorneys since, her deposit...ions have become a bedrock of my defense. Once assigned new counsel these depositions were hidden from me, then found, lost again, and eventually even destroyed in an effort to deprive me the truth contained therein. Today over three years later I am still fighting with current counsel to get them acknowledged. Mrs. DeGraff in my experience and opinion is that one good lawyer we all hear about existing in a very troubled public defender system. The 18th circuit is considered a very problematic one regarding constitutional rights, and she is part of the solution for sure and not the problem there. If you have her for your lawyer you are very lucky because she will be dedicated to you and not to a broken system that we all know does in fact exist. Thank you Mrs. DeGraff for your diligent work on my depositions and thank you for being, well, you, an honest, hardworking, dedicated to her clients, defense lawyer unafraid to do what is right rather than what is expedient, thank you, thank you, thank you, and my family does as well.
