Michael Ward Graf

My case involved the chopping down of an old banyan tree, which was deemed a threat to neighborhood security. It had inhabited our plot of land for over 6 generations, and had grown to symbolize our family customs and traditions. When news of this abhorable transaction reached our family, there was a... great squalor, and we protested in earnest. Environmental lawyer Michael Graf enables us to render this devious plot futile. He declared that eliminating the sacred banyan would be an act of invasive means, and the defendants should therefore pay a certain flat tax for the perceived threat of their illegal transaction. So, Mr. Graf not only secured the freedom of the banyan tree, he also secured an extra bit of cash for us to bolster our place in society. Mr. Graf: thank you for your service.
