Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Grafe walked us through our Chapter 13 and made it easy and stress-free. He explained everything very clearly and told us what to expect. All paperwork was completed correctly and on time. Mr. Grafe's assistant is also very knowledgeable. We knew we could trust what we were told by him and that h...e had the experience necessary to handle our case. Everything went well and I would recommend Mr. Grafe to anyone who needs bankruptcy help.

Rod made us very comfortable and explained all our options. He guided us through the entire process. I recommend Rod and his office to anyone needing legal services with care and compassion.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1987.

Suspension Stayed, Probation issued in OR, 1987

updated on 04/01/2016

This means the attorney did something wrong and could have temporarily lost his or her license to practice law. Instead the Hearing Board placed the suspension on hold, monitoring the attorney’s behavior for a period of time.
