Arbitration and Bankruptcy Legal Eagle

We used John Graves for what can only be described as a hell-on-earth arbitration and pre-arbitration bankruptcy. To clarify, we had spent every penny to our name in a legal battle against an industry monolith, using who we thought were the region's best lawyers. Turns out, the best was right in our ...figurative "backyard" the whole time. Despite having, comparatively, very little time to prepare, he outperformed the monolith's TEAM of lawyers. Had I not been so angry about being in a fraudulently brought arbitration, I would have actually been embarrassed FOR them. Mr. Graves' knowledge of the law, incredible understanding of proceedings, maneuverability while liaising with opposing counsel, and his downright tenacious loyalty to us as his clients, makes me wish he had been our attorney from the onset. Had that been the case, we might not have had to use him for bankruptcy, at which he is equally astute. I could go on and on, but all I really need to say is this- we will never contact another attorney for ANYTHING without first calling Mr. Graves.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
