Attorney Shelley Graves has been named Best Lawyers 2018 "Lawyer of the Year" for New London County in the field of Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs. This designation is awarded to one lawyer per legal community for having received the highest ratings among their peers for their abilities, professionalism and integrity. Graves was also selected by her peers in 2016 for this honor. Connecticut Magazine has publicized her as one of the "Top 25 Women Lawyers" in Connecticut (Feb. 2017) based on her ranking by Super Lawyers, a respected rating service. Super Lawyers also declared her among the "Top 50 Women Lawyers" in all of New England.
Practicing law since 1994, Graves has handled personal injury matters
of all kinds, including those arising from motorcycle and car
accidents, tractor trailer truck accidents, fall downs, improper sexual
conduct, pharmacy prescription errors, medical malpractice, nursing
home negligence, product defects, dog bites and tragic accidents
resulting in wrongful deaths.
In one of her first major negligence cases, she secured a 2.0 million
dollar judgment after a jury trial for a youth who suffered the
amputation of three fingers when a wood splitter was improperly
activated. More recently, Graves obtained a $8.9 Million Dollar
judgment after a trial to a jury for a 27 year old tractor trailer
truck driver who suffered serious injury after an oil tanker caused a
multi-car collision on I-95. As a result of this multi-million dollar
verdict, Graves was named to the Connecticut Law Tribune's Personal
Injury Hall of Fame for the category of Motor Vehicle verdicts and
settlements.
Graves has been honored each year with selection for the esteemed
publication The Best Lawyers in America since 2010.
Best Lawyers is universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal
excellence. She has also been chosen repeatedly by Super Lawyers magazine since 2006, as both a
Connecticut Super Lawyer, as well as one of New England's Super
Lawyers. She is a member of the National
Trial Lawyers Association (by invitation), and is named by the
organization as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in the State of
Connecticut.
Graves is the co-author of Connecticut Trial Evidence Notebook,
published by Lexis Law Publishing. The book features an annual
supplement that details new judicial decisions on the law of evidence
and is commonly used by lawyers and judges in Connecticut.
Based on her credentials and experience, the Connecticut Superior Court
appointed Graves in 2009 to serve as a fact finder / arbitrator for the
court's dispute resolution program. Since 2003, she has held an elected
seat on the Board of Governors of the Connecticut
Trial Lawyers Association, an organization dedicated to the
rights of injured persons within the civil justice system.
Graves is a true New London County native. She was raised in Norwich,
and currently lives in Lebanon with her husband and their two sons. She
graduated from St. Bernard High School in Uncasville and obtained both
her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Connecticut.
She is dedicated to actively supporting her community by volunteering
time and resources to United
Way of Southeastern Connecticut, Sacred Heart School of Taftville and other
non-profit organizations in the region, like Kitty Harbor, Inc.
of Griswold.
