Dedicated exclusively to employment law, The Graves Firm counsels and represents employees and executives across California.

After years of representing Fortune 500 companies as part of one of the nation’s largest employment defense practices, Allen Graves founded The Graves Firm to provide individual employees and executives with the same level of service and expertise that corporate defendants employ on their most critical cases.

Since its founding in 2004, The Graves Firm has successfully collected unpaid wages on behalf of more than 200,000 California employees. In addition, Mr. Graves has personally negotiated severance packages for executives at some of the most prominent companies in California.
