Benjamin advised our family on an easement and encroachment matter that involved a claim of ambiguity in a previously recorded document, and the neighboring property made a claim for entry and use of our property. Benjamin performed considerable title research, and research of a previous survey. The final result was a recorded Judgment in our favor, and the neighbor paid for most of our attorney fees incurred in getting to the Judgment. Benjamin was also generous enough to refer us to an attorney on a different, unrelated legal issue. This referral also yielded a positive outcome.
I engaged Benjamin C. Graves to handle an elder abuse case involving financial exploitation, representing a victim. He energetically pursued the Marin County Defendants, adhering to Welf and Inst. Code Section 15610.30. Benjamin adeptly handled intricate evidence matters and demonstrated both toughness and astuteness during negotiations. He secured a remarkable recovery for the victim, surpassing 300% of the actual damages. This was achieved through strategic demands for prejudgment interest and by compellingly showcasing the evidence's strength to the opposing counsel on the civil matter and to the District Attorneys office on the criminal matter. Benjamin exhibited a blend of toughness, ethical conduct, and excellent communication throughout the process. He kept me briefed and in the loop at each step with key strategic issues at hand.
Benjamin Graves came recommended to my wife and I from another attorney. Mr. Graves is a tough, sharp, knowledgeable real estate attorney who helped us with an especially complex partition action. He explained what the laws around partition in CA were, he made it clear what our rights were, and he gave detailed risk-assessments for each step of his strategy. We earned an $32,000 attorney's fee award of common benefit fees, thanks to his hard work, diligence, and knowledge of the law.Importantly, Benjamin was kind in hearing our concerns as the case progressed, and helped assuage those fears. We can't recommend Benjamin highly enough.
Benjamin Graves is a smart, insightful bulldog of a real estate attorney. He helped with two issues: a home purchase that came with a complicated lot line adjustment and a home sale with a disclosure issue.He clearly outlined both cases with careful risk assessment. We were continually updated throughout the process and fees appropriately explained. We always knew where we were in the case and where we were going. We’ve always understood attorneys to be vague and non-committal. Benjamin was transparent and clear. As a result stress levels were mitigated.We felt confident with Benjamin in our corner.
