A highly
respected Florida wrongful death lawyer,
Miami-based Dillon Graham is the
founder and managing partner of the law
firm of Graham & Associates, P.A.,
located in Coral Gables (Miami),
Florida. With more than 20 years of
legal experience, he possesses a unique
dedication to help clients pursue
justice in cases related to
motor vehicle accidents and injuries.
“I don’t
know of anything more satisfying,”
reflects Dillon, “than to be able to
help someone during what may be one of
the hardest times in their life. I
really count myself lucky because I can
use my knowledge and skill to help
people when they face a personal injury
or loss of a loved one. We can’t undo
the past, but I can certainly help them
look toward a brighter future, and that
means a lot to me.”
Mr.
Graham is an experienced civil trial
lawyer and is admitted to practice
before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S.
Court of Appeals, local U.S. District
Courts, and in all Florida state courts.
He has obtained the highest available
peer-review rating of “A-V” by
Martindale-Hubbell.*
He is a
proud member of the Florida Justice
Association. Furthermore, he is also a
member of the American Justice
Association, the Miami-Dade County Bar
Association, and the Miami-Dade County
Justice Association.
