Benjamin Carroll Graves

Benjamin Graves came recommended to my wife and I from another attorney. Mr. Graves is a tough, sharp, knowledgeable real estate attorney who helped us with an especially complex partition action. He explained what the laws around partition in CA were, he made it clear what our rights were, and h...e gave detailed risk-assessments for each step of his strategy. We earned an $32,000 attorney's fee award of common benefit fees, thanks to his hard work, diligence, and knowledge of the law. Importantly, Benjamin was kind in hearing our concerns as the case progressed, and helped assuage those fears. We can't recommend Benjamin highly enough.

I am a 75 year old widow. I sought advice on a real estate agreement DocuSign I was scheduled to sign the day I called him. He asked that I forward it to him which I did. Signing the document would have rendered me a victim of real estate fraud and elder abuse. He immediately had me call the person ...to expose her while I was also on the phone. His expert questioning resulted in her admitting her actions. I am so grateful to him.

On very short notice, Benjamin Graves represented me as a creditor lender in a secured real estate transaction involving parole evidence. This attorney worked quickly and was aggressive—and reached a great outcome and payoff in a few weeks without formal litigation. When a person finds them self i...n a dilemma and in need of immediate assistance, it's not always so easy to get it. I'm very thankful that Benjamin Graves not only made himself available at a moment’s notice, but reacted quickly to events as needed. I would certainly recommend him to others.

I used this attorney for a corporate litigation matter involving intellectual property rights. The matter concluded with a beneficial outcome for our side when the negotiated outcome increasingly favored our side. In the end we received 100% of the assets sought in the litigation, and for less than a...n early offer amount. The attorneys’ fees were commensurate with projections, and I would highly recommend this attorney. James, CA

I retained Benjamin Graves to advise me in a complex litigation matter involving the real estate, third party liens, and a federal litigation matter. He was responsive and worked hard in negotiating to keep many of the issues in a nonlitigated setting--reducing the litigation budget. Benjamin negotia...ted an indemnity agreement from the opposition which will protect my assets from third party claims into the future that may arise from the business conduct of a partner. Benjamin has formidable energy, and was aggressive but also conservative and careful. I recommend his this attorney for real estate and financial-fraud related matters.
