Helpful

Travis was always willing to help me out and he always answered my calls and got back with me quickly. He was always straight to the point and let me know what was possible and what we should be doing. I was glad to work with him and appreciate all he did for me.

Straighforward, Fair and Professional

There is So much I could say about Travis Groves, but what immediately comes to mind is he knows the law. Travis is fair and straight forward, he tells you like it is and what to expect and just gives it to you raw and uncut. If you like a lawyer that won’t beat around the bush and at times can bring... you to pure frustration in attempts to make sure that when you get on a stand to testify your delivery is damn near flawless this in your Guy. We worked with Travis for over 2 years with a custody case. We attended his free clinic initially and he assisted us in preparing all our paperwork for free to file at the court house. Later on down the line we had to retain him as our representative, his fee was reasonable and fair, he was easy to get ahold of, night or day, answered our questions, text and emails in a timely manner listened to our concerns and gave us great advice. He told us if we continued to do what we were doing, we would be ok and that the Judge would rule accordingly. Our case was straight forward he said, and he was right. We ended up winning our case and a new level of respect for the law. If we ever need help again with this case or any others we will surely look to hire you again. To more flips in the pool.. Thank you Travis Sincerely, Willie and Taneika

The Coleman's were excellent clients who "got it", and that is the focus is always on the child(ren). They understood the realities of the adversarial system we have in place in family law matters and worked with me to achieve the best co-parenting solution that was possible. I want to clarify that no attorney can guarantee how a court will rule and while I give my opinion on how I feel the court would rule, given certain factors, I can never guarantee a court would rule in any given situation.

Exceptional Attorney!

Travis is amazing, and I honestly can't recommend him ENOUGH! He is knowledgeable, professional, and client-centered. Before even retaining Travis, I was able to speak with him on a few different occasions and get information on the process and what I could expect, as my situation was somewhat uniqu...e/complex. This information was invaluable, as it gave me the insight needed to make a sound decision on whether (and how) to move forward with my case. After retaining Travis, he started on my case immediately, and made the process relatively easy for me. Travis not only met my expectations, but he far exceeded them. I got the outcome that I desired, and I couldn't have asked for (nor received) better representation! I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the Groves Law Firm staff. They were friendly, helpful, and very communicative during this process as well. Even when Travis was out of the office, they would make sure that my questions were answered and that I received a prompt call back.

Explained everything and made me feel at ease. Great attorney.

I contacted Travis regarding a divorce that I wasn't sure was going to be easy or tough. I expected the latter. Travis found time to talk with me on the same day I contacted him and really put my mind at ease, meticulously explaining the legal process which I was just about to embark on. He explai...ned to me the ins and outs of the proceedings and about how it could be drawn out or uncontested depending on the ex. He prepared me for the worst, but surprisingly she didn't contest anything and 91 days later the divorce was finalized. If I was to ever go through that again Travis would be my go to guy.

Awful attorney

Everyone always talks about how shiesty lawyers can be, but Travis Groves takes the lead for most inconsiderate, greedy lawyer I've ever met. I retained him after our consultation. During our consultation he was pleasant and seemed to be somewhat conforting towards my legal situation. After that it w...as hard to get him to return my calls, answer my emails, and act upon my case in any regard requesting. As we were getting ready for court he would go through everything possibly irrelevant to the case. Before I could say anything he accused me of lying. When I would ask him why he wouldn't act on my behalf or do as I directed him to, he would sit there and come up with excuses for his negligent behavior. Travis Groves is very unprofessional and did not appreciate his profane language.
