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

Very Helpful

He spent around 20 minutes via the phone to discuss my matter with me and did not charge me. He was very knowledgeable about the expungement process and I look forward to working with him in the future.

2nd Chance

I didn't use Roy Graham as criminal defense, I used him to help me get my record cleaned. Here is the story: I was charged with criminal charges in 2012. I used another lawyer in town, and the charges were dismissed. That lawyer was effective, but she said I had no options to get the charges ta...ken off my record. As a graduate student with a bright future, I was very worried. The mere fact that you were charged with a crime is sometimes enough to deter employers from hiring you. I called Roy Graham to get a second opinion. He saw a way for me to get a 2nd chance through a new Indiana law (a law that my previous lawyer obviously didn't know about). Roy was able to help me clean my record as if nothing ever happened, he did exactly what my previous lawyer said she couldn't. Roy knows the law very well. He's also very creative, which I found out is important as a lot of the law seems to be about interpretation. He is also a good communicator. I called him pretty frequently, because I was a little freaked out over my case. He was generally very patient, returned calls quickly, and clearly explained everything to me.

Family Law Review

Mr. Graham work on my case of custody in 2008 and also I just had a modification of visitation. I got the visitation changed thanks to Mr. Graham. He kept me informed of court dates, and sent me the judges order as soon as he got it. Also explained what the order meant.He is a very good attorney and... I do recommend him to anyone that I hear needs an attorney.

"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."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"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."
