Traffic citation SNAFU

Roy was recommended by my company's Legal Shield service to assist with my wife's traffic citation (driving while suspended.) We had to pluck through a couple of confusing issues involving the documents sent by Enterprise Rental to the Indiana BMV. (My hat's also off to Enterprise in Columbus, IN fo...r working with us.) Roy's patience with us from the first meeting through the court hearings was phenomenal. He has a great working relationships with the local prosecutor's office and the judges. He was methodical and excellent in communicating with us. His guidance was helpful, again especially as there were numerous requests for documents from other companies. He kept in close communication with us in preparing for the hearings. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney in this area.

Laid back smooth attorney

Well to begin, Memorial evening started out as a crazy night of indulging too much fire water. Next morning after a very cold night in a small cell, I skipped their breakfast and called Roy based on his positive reviews. Everything I read about his work ethic and commitment to his clients is true. ... He immediately answered the phone. "What's the details I'm in a meeting" , but he still answered phone and he went to work on my case and did it very well. After all the worries, working with me through the pleas and court, All I can say is thank you very much for your hard work. A class act smooth attorney who really cares. Thanks again Roy

Best Lawyer I've ever retained

Roy was great during our almost year long case which has been going on for almost 8 years prior to me retaining Mr.Graham. I had paid many big name lawyers that cost me thousands and thousands, just to get let down because no one would fight for the right causes. Everyone just wanted to settle and no...t stand up for justice but Roy did! He was always upfront with me about fees, about expectations, and our chances. My case involved a custody change, child abuse, and a GAL. Roy was excellent and professional. Don't let his scattered thoughts scare you away because when he stepped in the court room he was the top of the line lawyer. He always receptive to my ideas and very easy to get a hold of. I would hesitate to recommend him to many more of my friends and family!

Family matter / Restraining Order

After speaking with 3 different attorney's on the phone, from my home in Indianapolis...I felt most comfortable speaking with Mr. Roy Graham. I explained I had an Aunt, trying to keep me away from seeing my Father, who was on Hospice care, at that very moment...and could pass.. We spoke briefly on t...he phone a few times. We met the day of the hearing, early...with my wife and family member's I brought along. After an hour or so of discussion, with Roy writing notes, and speaking to everyone involved, to get the complete story, he met with me personally to really explain some essentials. I was Falsely accused of threatening my Aunt, and Mr Roy Graham was my Attorney. Roy asked all the right questions, throughout the whole hearing. Of course we Won the case...But Roy Graham was exceptional !!!! I was so impressed with the courtroom demeanor ---- He is The Real Deal !! I Highly Recommend Mr Roy Graham for any Legal needs.

Great lawyer

Roy did a great job in our custody case. He gave us alot of cost saving tips throughout the process. (Where we could get certain material/ paperwork) Mr. Graham showed genuine concern for our situation and was very supportive through the entire process. Answered our calls quickly even after hours.... We never felt overwhelmed by legal babble and we're kept informed at all times as well. Personally I think Roy is good man with a sense of humor who gets the job done right and I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal council. Our case was thrown out before we had to testify, I believe it was due to how well Mr Graham presented our side before our turn ever came. I'll definitely call him for any future legal needs.

"Mr. Graham is fair to his clients and cares about the children involved in family matters. He also treats his opponents with respect which is refreshing the area of family law where so many practitioners seem to want to destroy the opposing party. Such tactics are rarely in the best interest of the children."

"Mr. Graham is an experienced, dedicated attorney. He is also an eclectic individual with a great deal of life experience outside the law. He has a savvy ability to read people, and in is non-legal life he has an artistic spirit, and is a naturally gifted pianist. I recommend him based on my observations of both his professional abilities and his personal dedication and integrity."
