FAMILY LAW PRO!!

I chose Mr Graff to represent me in my divorce since he was also knowledgeable with bankruptcy law. He promptly returned phone calls, was quite helpful and consistent in advising me. He knew and understood my case and was very professional in representing me. Furthermore, I knew he was well respected... in the courtroom and by other attorneys. He worked efficiently to get the best and honest result for my family in child support matters. I would absolutely hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone in need of family law representation.

Handled my divorce

I selected Jeff to represent me because he specialized divorce cases and had worked with the Ventura County judges for many years. He was very patient with me as dealt with the emotions of getting a divorce after a 19-year marriage, and helped me through the terrible stress of facing my ex-spouse an...d being in the courtroom. He gave me very good advice on how to manage the property settlement, especially on when I should capitulate and when I should hold my ground. I felt that he always had my best interest in mind (rather than just collecting his fee) and worked diligently to bring the case to a fair conclusion.

THANK YOU!

Jeff is great!! He really helped me and my husband fight my husband's ex. My husband got hurt at work and we were really having a tough time. My husband ex's got a big child support order against my husband and we didn't even know that she went to court for that!! Then she started coming after us ...for this big child support money every month. And she wouldn't even let her kids come over to visit with us and my kids but just wanted the money and my husband wasn't working. My co-worker went to Jeff for her divorce and she told me to call and talk to him. I am so thankful that I called him. I talked to him and he explained everything to me. I needed that because I didn't know what to do. Me and my husband met with him in his office. Jeff and the secretary were both so nice and very professional. I completely trusted them! Long story short, Jeff was able to get the monthly amount my husband pays to his ex cut down by more than half!! And on top of that got the judge to make my husband's ex let the kids come and visit with my husband who is still hurt and my kids. Everything worked out so much better than I thought it could. I didn't know we had a choice and that we could go to the judge to lower the support AND let us see the kids. I would recommend Jeff to anyone who need help with family law.

Very Satisfied!

Jeff is an excellent attorney. I went through a nasty divorce and custody battle. Jeff represented me and prevented my ex from taking my kids away. He filed everything for me on time and keep me in the loop the entire time about what was happening. I don't know where I would be in my life, if Jef...f hadn't represented me. I even went back and he took care of my bankruptcy and he represented me there and everything was perfect. Anyone on here complaining about Jeff is full of it!

Avoid Jeffrey Graff!

I relied upon Jeffrey Graff to represent me in a divorce. There were significant errors in the paper work he prepared on my behalf - repeatedly. My paper work had to be redone three times, even though he continually tried to get me to sign the incorrect paper work. He missed a filing deadline beca...use he did not understand a simple rule, which could cost me thousands of dollars. He lied to me about the status of my case. Now, he will not refund my $5,000 retainer, even though he acknowledges the errors and missing the deadline. I very strongly recommend staying as far away from Jeffrey Graff as possible. This is the type of individual that has given lawyers a bad reputation - he is not trustworthly
