Best Attorney Ever!

We hired Roy Graham after a lengthy, free consultation regarding a family member and their legal trouble. Roy was upfront and honest from the get go. He made no promises on what the family member would receive for sentencing, but he did PROMISE to do the best that he could do. And he did. This person... was facing a Level 6 felony OVWI with a prior, and disorderly conduct. 7 months later, preparing to take it to trial, the family member received a plea of B Misdemenor, Disorderly Conduct. Roy worked very hard and diligently on this case, and we couldn't be happier with him. This man is a top notch attorney! I would recommend Roy Graham to anyone needing legal help, you won't regret it. Thanks again, Roy!

Roy is THE Best

I contacted Roy for a civil matter that in minds of some was small, but was very important to me. Roy made my questions important and responded to my questions within minutes. Roy provided advice that other legal authorities had failed to provide and gave me an option to a solution I had long neede...d. I cannot say enough how we need more Roy Grahams. Thank you Roy!!

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.

Excellent Attorney

Roy is an excellent Attorney to have in your side in Monroe county…he knows the workings of the local courts and is familiar with the people there. He has an interesting take on things and a perspective that helps one see the bigger picture of a case. Highly recommend.

From Great lawyer to a great friend

When I was younger, I ran into a situation. Went to a nature park/campground to escape the busy urban life. Unfortunately the trip did not go accordingly. I found myself getting arrested and charged with a criminal recklessness (d felony). I thought my life was over. I had to face the reality of bein...g labeled as a criminal. But shortly after, I was able to obtain Mr. Grahams information from the court. We were able to meet right away and he provided me with the STRAIGHT facts, no b.s. He promised his best and asked that I be patient and do my part. One of the first words of wisdom he shared with me: "thought = speech = action." Still today,, think of those words to help me be more compassionate and understanding in every situation. Mr. Graham was with me throughout the whole process. With the guidance of Mr. Graham, I was able to redeem myself and clear my name.

"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."
