So Helpful!

John was extremely helpful with our custody case. He was very attentive and fought so hard for us in court. He had everything in order and we received the exact results that we wanted and it was all because of him. We will absolutely use him again if we need to. Thank you, John!

Easy to work with and saved me tons

Our business was being sued for the remainder of a commercial property lease and John worked diligently to win or case for us. His communication with us to keep us informed of where things were, and where they were headed were a huge help in relieving stress along the way. He kept things simple an...d easy to follow, but made us feel important as we went thru each step of the process. We were extremely nervous about how things were going, how much we might have to pay out, how long it would take for answers, etc. John was calm and didn't seem too worried, and extremely confident. When we first met John he seemed almost kocky, but determined and very business like. We quickly learned that these 3 things are his greatest strength. His extreme confidence and determination can be intimidating to the other and refused to back down and continued to fight for us. We were being sued for $36k, which was quite intimidating, but from the moment we met he made us feel like we had already won. Our case took 6 months and in that 6 months, John never doubted we would win. John Graves was correct. The day of court, the other side decided not to show and gave up. We were shocked, not John. He said "Take the day off and go have some lunch". With that we had won. That was 2010 and since then we have used John a couple times. He has represented or son in a custody case and myself with a divorce and custody case. There isn't another attorney that we would trust to make things happen for us and he is highly recommended.

Great lawyer

John helped me and my family with a difficult lawsuit involving the construction of our home. I recommend John for any legal issue. He is very knowledgeable and clearly explains issues. We are satisfied with the out come of our legal issue and hope we never have another one. If for some reason I find... myself in legal trouble I will make John my first call. John was the only lawyer I talked to that would help me with out paying a large sum upfront for his service.

Professional and Expedient!

Mr. Graves was invaluable in resolving a business partner dispute. He was unbelievably fast in his ability to mediate the situation and finalize papers for as close to an amicable solution as was possible with the situation at hand. I will not only recommend John Graves to others if the opportunity... arises, I will absolutely contact him for future business dealings.

The best. Very professional and treats every case on it's value. He will never promise something he has not researched well

John is the very best with our legal issues. We have secured his services both personally and professionally. I would recommend him highly to anyone.
