About Kari
Biography
"KJ" Granville has had a wide variety of living, travel, and employment experience.
Kari came to Arizona on an archery scholarship with Arizona State University. A two-time All-American, she left school to care for a family member, after which she traveled the world as a live stage production manager and lighting technician. She returned to finish her Bachelor of Science in Political Science at ASU in 2000. KJ received her juris doctorate from ASU in May of 2004 with the Dean's Award of Recognition, a Certificate in Law, Science, and Technology: Intellectual Property, and the Highest Pro Bono Distinction.
After graduation, KJ worked as a member of the ASU College of Law's administrative staff, building from her previous local knowledge and institutional memory to develop stronger relationships between the law students and the community and tackling the practical execution of coordinating two new LL.M. and one new M.L.S. degree programs.
Prior to the creation of Granville Law, PLLC, Kari learned the legal ropes from notable lawyers such as Joan Jakel (business formation and small business solutions) and Adrian Fontes (criminal defense and public advocacy). Both individuals helped to teach her the skills of drafting, negotiation, and litigation. KJ has an enviable trial success record and has served as a Pro Tempore Justice of the Peace.
Currently, in her spare time, KJ enjoys dog agility training and competition. In her younger years, Kari competed at the elite level in the sport of archery. She has been a member of the USA Archery Team and has represented the US at several World Championship events. Kari has been named twice as USA Archery's "Shenk Award" winner (highest combined score from US Indoor, Field, and Target Nationals). KJ also coached the ASU archery team, is a former Chair of the USA Archery Board of Justice, is a former Chair of the College Archery Program of USA Archery, and has been a member of the USA Archery - Arizona Board of Directors.

Diligent and Candid
Ms. Granville took on a small matter pro bono for one of my daughters. She was thorough, took the time to explain the matter and potential outcomes candidly and in a manner that my daughter could be part of the process.

A great defence attorney and human being.
Kari Granville represented my son ( deceased ) in 2013. Kari was professional and compassionate. She recognized and got my son the services he needed. We would not have had our son with us at the end without her hard work.

Excellent Counsel!
I am a criminal trial attorney in NJ and my son received a criminal charge while attending ASU. But for the excellent lawyering of Ms. Granville my son would not have received the great outcome he did. Thank you KJ and I can think of no better endorsement: Ms. Granville is the lawyer other attorneys ...

Nightmare experience
I had the worst legal experience of my life with this woman. This woman did not represent my interest in fact quite the opposite. I have tried to contact her since the ramifications of her lack of representation on me and she ignores all of my phone calls. I’ve asked to see documents and reports and...

Replied last August 25, 2018Unfortunately, sometimes clients ask me do things that are not ethically allowed or that unreasonable given the circumstances. I never withhold information from clients and always pass on what I can, but I will not violate court rules just because a client thinks I should.

Terrible lawyer
I would advise against ever using her for any legal situation. I was arrested for something I was innocent of. I was assigned Kari Jill Granville as a pro bono attorney. I was incarcerated for 5 months, she would never take my phone calls, she never even got me a police report the time I was in jail,...

She especially impressed me with a "how-to" manual she co-wrote for entrepreneurs - simply the way she can explain complicated theories to laymen is remarkable. She handles more cases than business or corporate, but she brings the same skillset to all."
