Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Jake and his team for custody matters. These situations are challenging, but Jake brought both logic and compassion, providing unwavering support. He acted quickly when motions needed urgent attention, and we had success every time. I’m incredibly grateful for Graff Law, who stood ...by my side throughout these difficult times. Thank you, Jake and team!

Worth every penny

Jake was recommended to me and I could not have been more pleased. He really helped me with my case, even staying up late into the night to get the information needed and the job done, something he could have put off till the next day. Jake and his team really care about their clients.

Best lawyer in St George

I was referred to Jake Graff and am so grateful. I was more then pleased with him and his office helping settle my case.

I am more then satisfied and appreciated his council and skills with such a serious matter in my life. Thank you Graff Law!!

Outstanding Divorce Lawyer

Being married for many years as a stay at home mother to our children, I was dealing with a spouse who had just sold our home then informed me he wanted a divorce, was hiding money, was being unfaithful, was being dishonest about his income, and was transferring all of our assets into other peoples' ...names. In a time when my world was completely falling apart, Jake Graff was there to help me endure one of the hardest times in my life. I really looked into having a lawyer that was the right fit for me and had several consultations for this reason. I remember sitting down for a consultation with Jake as he had been a referral from a friend. I was emotional and distraught about what was happening in my life, and Jake was so considerate and kind to what I was feeling and going through. He took the time to really listen and offer direction in what I could do legally. I instantly knew that I was in good hands with a person who not only was professional and knew his stuff, but a person who had high standards and would advocate me in the most ethical way. I felt that he really believed in my case and I was reassured that he was there to support my cause by taking care of the legal things that I had no clue about. It was a relief! He made is so much more bearable. Throughout the process, Jake made sure that I was informed as to what was happening step by step and explained things in great detail along the way. He was very thorough, spent much time studying my case so that he would know it for himself, and was fully prepared for each court hearing. I was impressed with the tiniest, little details that he remembered not only about my personal life, but about each of my children as well. He was personal, respectful, and compassionate towards what was happening and advocated for me beyond my expectations. He answered each call and email in a timely manner and always made sure he kept in contact with me when something arose. One of the things I appreciated the most was the way that he allowed me to make the final decisions. He would lay out my options and gave great advice but encouraged me to make the final decisions I felt the most comfortable with. I knew Jake was there to protect me, but he also made it a team effort and helped me build confidence in myself which I needed for my new reality. One of the things that stands out in my mind is his desire to be honest not only with me, but in court as well. Before each court hearing, Jake reminded me to just be honest and to be myself whenever I was to take place on the stand. I find this admirable and I felt honored to have a lawyer who upholds such values not only for himself but for the people he represents as well. Jake literally carried me through the most difficult time in my life and I am most thankful. I was pleased with his efforts because my case was not easy by any means. He handled it like a champ and remained calm and collected. I highly, highly recommend Jake Graff to be your lawyer!

I couldn’t have asked for better representation

During the most trying experience in my life I came across Jake Graff with BFG law firm and I know without a doubt I wouldn’t have made it out of this without him. Every phone call, email, and in person meeting was answered immediately and with the most level headed answers. Every court appearance, m...eadiation, and conference we attended Jake was there and prepared and had me prepared. His creative counsel and knowledge of the law far exceeded my expectations and got the result that was best for my family and myself. His paralegal Danay was also amazing and If I needed anything even just someone to talk me down and let me cry or vent both were there in a matter of minutes. Not only did he get me the best result possible with my divorce he also gave me peace of mind and comfort in a very emotional, scary, and chaotic situation.
