Job Description

Graves & King LLP was founded in 1993 and, since its inception, has focused its practice on the representation of public entities, corporations, and insured individuals in general liability, common carrier litigation, employment litigation, premises liability, flood control, and inverse condemnation claims. With offices in Riverside and Glendale, California, the Firm represents clients in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The Firm was established, and has succeeded, on the premise that a small focused team of experienced legal professionals could provide its clients with more personalized and cost-effective services while achieving outstanding results. The Firm continually strives to maintain this goal and, as a result, has remained a solid presence in the Southern California legal community for over 28 years.

Graves & King LLP is a Martindale-Hubbell AV rated firm that is committed to providing its clients with clear and effective communication and direct access to the attorneys handling each claim. The Firm strives to evaluate every case at the earliest possible juncture, enabling clients to make fully informed decisions regarding litigation strategy and the viability of alternative dispute resolution. The Firm’s ability to accurately evaluate cases is the result of its extensive and broad-based experience in handling substantial liability cases, and its ability to work with public entity and corporate personnel to obtain the information and documents needed to fully and accurately assess each case from both a liability and a damages perspective.
