Exceptional representation

Jake is a principled and effective attorney who can be trusted. He listens intently and remembers details of each conversation.

Real Estate Deposit Recovery

I want to take a moment to pass along a genuine thank you for the work you and your firm put into our case. From the moment you returned my call on a Saturday afternoon to the deposit refund as the conclusion to our soured real estate transaction, I felt that we were the only client on the firm's ...rolls. From the moment I got off the initial call with you, I was confident the deposit would be returned and I was only afforded further confidence as time progressed. It's my perspective this outcome was the result of you, and the firm, taking an aggressive, unified stance toward the seller and title company. The letter, the draft complaint, the joint efforts between you and Bill and the consistent communication with us made this otherwise unpleasant situation tolerable.

Outstanding!

I have nothing but GOOD to say about Jake Graff. My divorce was a long, drawn out and at most times frustrating ordeal, but Jake helped me stay positive and have confidence through it all. He was very sensitive to the fact that it was an abuse case and understood what I was going through. He was con...stantly asking me if I was ok and if certain situations, such as mediation were going to be ok with me and what needed to happen to make me comfortable. He was extremely professional and welcoming. He would educate me if I wasn't sure what a word meant or what the process was. He was extremely thorough and kept on top of things. The other party involved would drag their feet and cause delays, but Jake was very good about checking in with them to see what the status was and what needed to happen next. My divorce would have taken so much longer without him. Jake was the best advocate for me and I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs an amazing attorney.

Jake Graff Is The Best

When I first called to schedule an appointment for a consultation, his secretary put me right on the phone with him. Jake spoke with me for about a half hour. He asked what I was dealing with and he gave me many options as to how I could proceed...giving me time to think about it before my actual c...onsultation. Jake made me feel that I had someone who what battle for me if it came to it but would ultimately let me proceed with my divorce in the way I wanted. I had called a few other places and it just didn't feel right. When Jake was referred to me by a friend with her beaming remarks, I felt better. After I spoke with Jake the first time, I was sure I had the right lawyer. Divorce is horrible and I did not want it - but my former husband was set on it and Jake was considerate of my tender feelings and treated me with respect and gave me encouragement as well. I didn't have to worry that I was a woman being represented by a man - Jake was like a brother sticking up for a sister and that is exactly what I needed. Not only was Jake considerate of feelings but he explained the process and listened well- answering all of my questions. Jake knows what he is doing and knew how to handle every situation that came up- including my former husband's lawyer. Jake made the most grueling time in my life endurable because I was confident in his ability to take care of the business of my case. He kept in contact with me and communicated well so I was aware of any situation that came up. He gave excellent advice but let me have the final say. Lawyers get a bad reputation, but Jake did not fit those stereotypes. He is honest and truly represents his client's best interest. His office staff is also incredible. I am grateful I found Jake and will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of a well qualified lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

In my experience being represented by Jake, he was very informative, quick to respond to questions and overall friendly and easy to communicate with. I felt he was able to not only give the best advice on the chain of events he would recommend, but also easily made adjustments to fit my financial li...mitations. I felt he was fair and objective. He was always first to suggest the fastest least expensive way to work my case, but also warned me of possible pit falls along the way and helped my wife and I be best represented at the best value. I do believe he always had our best interest at heart. In court he was phenomenal, making quick adjustments on the fly to obtain the optimal outcome in our court proceedings. I would highly recommend Jake if you are looking for a straight forward, honest attorney with a well gauged moral compass that doesn't take short cuts. He showed compassion when necessary and was aggressive in handling my case from beginning to end. He has a healthy knowledge of both Utah and Nevada state law as it pertained to my case and was quick on his feet and comfortable and respectful of all involved when in the court room. Although he appears to be very young, he in every way, comes off as an intelligent seasoned attorney. As far as I'm concerned Jake reunited my family and more or less saved my daughters life; and for that I will always be indebted to him.
