Solid Character, Truly sincere in working for you

I needed advice and was looking for an attorney to help me decide on how to proceed. (One who would ACTUALLY reply to your request) I found Roy and sent him a message for consultation along with a couple of other larger firms. (The larger firms have yet to reply to me even today) From the begin...ning, Roy reached out quickly and with sincere concern for my situation and was doing his best to calm my fears and lesson my stress. After a couple of discussions, more information and advice, Roy said he would begin working on this right away to find the best path forward. I sent him a retainer to cover any expenses to keep from slowing him down. But Roy realized early I might be better served by one of his colleagues that is more expert in the area I had need. Even after all his upfront work, Roy didn't charge my card. He had all rights to do so, but felt it was more important to find me someone who could take me the final mile rather than getting a quick buck into his bank account. (Rare indeed) While this is not the most important part of the story, what it did say about Roy is that he has client integrity and an old fashion desire to help that's refreshing in today's need-for-greed society. Roy's resolve and integrity proves to me that there is still esprit de corps to be found in the American Bar association.

Family law nightmare

Note: (Roy doesn’t do much family law now.) We hired Roy way back in 2018 for a crazy situation dealing with my wife’s ex and their child. Sadly, crazy situations kept repeating. Ultimately we obtained full legal and primary physical custody. 5 years of non stop crazy though. A GAL got involved, and ...the state intervened. At one point we were facing 25 contempt allegations, evidently 24 were frivolous! (We learned that taking your sick kid to the Dr on the other parent’s time is not in a child’s best interest). That logic is just mind boggling to us! Welcome to Indiana! So anyway, we got him on two contempts though so overall goal for mom. When things seem dark and hopeless, Roy is your lighthouse!

Good man, great lawyer!

Roy has been an excellent lawyer for me over the past couple of years. In 2018, I got into trouble while attending IU and was facing a felony charge. With his assistance, the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor conviction. In 2022, when I wanted to get that misdemeanor conviction expunged, he ...was able to get that done for a very fair price. Having my record wiped clean was worth every penny. This expungement has given me the confidence I need to move forward with my life. I highly recommend Roy to anyone needing legal assistance in the Monroe County area!

Best guy in BTown.

I contacted other firms first and they either never got back to me or ignored me entirely. Finally I found Roy and he immediately responds. Provided the most affordable price and was fantastic to work with. He’s responsive, empathetic, and personable. He makes you feel comfortable to work with and y...ou can count on Roy to get the job done in a timely manner. Can’t thank him enough!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
