Best possible outcome

I had a pending misdemeanor case after an accident involving my vehicle. Roy contacted me the same day I reached out via email for a consultation. I was extremely worried about being convicted of this charge, but he kept telling me not to stress. We met shortly after and he provided me with a lot of ...good information regarding the specifics of the charge, the court system, helpful resources, and what steps we could take to move forward. Ultimately, the case was dismissed, which is the best outcome I could've hoped for. Roy is extremely experienced and has a wonderful working knowledge of the legal system, especially in this area. If I ever need legal representation going forward, I certainly won't call anyone else.

Highly Recommend Roy Graham – Excellent Attorney in Bloomington, IN

We were referred to Roy Graham by a friend, and we’re so glad we took their recommendation. Roy was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He took the time to clearly explain everything to us throughout the process, making sure we felt informed and comfortable. We also appreciated t...hat his fees were very fair — he didn’t overcharge and provided great value for his services. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Represented me to obtain a protective order, did a fantastic job

Mr. Graham was on-point and did a great job. I consulted with him a few times looking for advice to avoid having to file an PO against someone harassing me that has mental illness, he provided advice over the phone free of charge. Ultimately I still had to file a protective order against this person ...after they escalated to death threats and it got hairy because the court never sent my PO out for servicing. That also meant I was never notified of the hearing date and my provisional PO was ultimately dropped. Meanwhile the harassment and threats continued getting worse from the person I needed relief from. At that point I hired Mr. Graham to make sure there were no further problems on the 2nd attempt to make the PO permanent. He advised me on evidence to collect, how to organize it, and made the hearing itself go incredibly smooth. Ultimately it was his help that got my PO pushed forward and made permanent. Now my harasser is in jail and my wife and I getting the most restful sleep we've gotten in months thanks to Mr. Graham.

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!

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
