Great Job!

I hired Mr. Graves though my employer's attorney referral service. He quickly learned what I needed and then followed through diligently making numerous phone calls requiring both skill and patience.

Great lawyer

Michael Graves is a straight shooter everything is upfront would highly recommend him.

Posted by Steve | March 12, 2013

Extremely professional and dependable attorney.

I have been a Chiropractor for the past 16 years and have worked directly with many attorneys here in town. In fairness, I have worked with some very good ones. But, more often than not, my patients will frequently complain to me about how unprofessional their attorney’s office is, and how disappoi...nted they were in the efforts of its staff. Knowing this, I was very apprehensive when it came time to hire an attorney for my own personal legal problem. But I can tell you from a personal standpoint, that Michael Graves is one of the most professional, dependable, and trustworthy attorneys that I have ever worked with. I hired Michael approximately six months ago for my very detailed and complex debt settlement case, and his efforts have been nothing short of a breath of fresh air for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to any of my friends or colleagues.
