    My experience with this firm was overall extremely positive. I was treated with kindness and respect, and my case was treated with professionalism and compassion. I couldn’t ask for more.

    We went to CJ regarding an employment matter with my husband’s former employer. We found CJ to be very honest and straightforward regarding our concerns. He was very attentive and made certain he had the complete picture before offering his advice and suggestions. While he felt one part of our claim was valid and worth pursuing, he advised the second portion of our claim would likely not work out to our satisfaction. We greatly appreciated his honesty, as other attorneys might have been inclined to encourage us to pursue both, even knowing one would be a waste of our time and funds, so they could charge more. As of now, we intend to pursue legal action in the first half of 2017. We would strongly recommend CJ to anybody who has employment matters they need an attorney to resolve, and have recommended his firm to several friends and family to help resolve legal issues.

    This company will ignore your inquiries which in itself is very unprofessional and discriminatory.

    I never thought I’d ever find myself in a situation where I would need legal representation because of a life event that had turned my whole universe upside down. But when I did, CJ and Jackie were there for me. They not only exercised sheer legal brilliance, they also exhibited the utmost respect and professionalism. Without their counsel, their friendship, and their keen minds, I don’t know where I would be right now. I will never be able to adequately express the depths of my gratitude for what these amazing people and their tremendous law firm have done for me, but, for what it’s worth – thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    C.J. Graves and Jaqueline Swanson-Graves are hands down the most thorough and highly educated team. They hold the bar of ethics extremely high and treated me with the upmost care and respect. I have 110% trust for the way they handled my case. C.J. Graves took my case on a Thursday, studied it over the weekend and won for me that next Tuesday. I described him as an angel with blazing swords. One could also call him a peaceful warrior, for every action, decision and advice he gave me was in the theme of being peaceful and winning without throwing mud. I am forever grateful that I had the honor of being represented by C.J. Graves.

    I’ve worked with Graves & Swanson several times over the last 5 years and I have nothing but good things to say about them. They are honest, upfront and always professional, but most importantly, they care about their clients. You are not just a case file to them. You are a person. I’m truly grateful for them and I recommend them to others whenever I can.

    I called Graves Swanson for a consultation regarding representing me in a civil matter. They made it clear to me that they would not be able to adequately represent me in the civil matter, so I ended the consultation and hung up the phone. They then sent me a very formal letter explaining to me that they were “declining to represent me.” It is I who chose not to hire Graves Swanson, not Graves Swanson who refused to represent me. The fact that they would take the time to send me a formal letter to make the situation seem different from objective reality is astounding to me. I would give this firm zero stars if I could.

    Truly incredible people to work with. Highly recommend. I first met with Graves and Swanson in 2018 when I was at the end of my rope. I spent over a year looking for an attorney to represent my family in an uphill battle. From the beginning, they both validated our concerns, offered multiple options on how to proceed and fought tirelessly to bring to light the injustices of our case. In addition to this, they helped us seek legislative changes, supporting us and advising us how to make the most change with our tragic story, on my request. Our case threw many curveballs, which they handled honestly and with integrity, even when the reality was difficult for our family to hear. While our case is over, Graves and Swanson will always remain a trusted part of our family.
