About

Graig has been practicing law for fifteen years. He began his training representing Chapter 7 Trustees in the Bankruptcy Court, which he has done for the past 15 years. Getting an understanding about what Trustees were looking for in bankruptcy cases allowed him then to transition to helping debtors directly by representing them in Chapter 7 and businesses in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. He has also represented third parties and other creditors in suits relating to Fraudulent Transfer Claims and Preference Actions. Secured Creditors often come to Graig to get relief from the automatic stay, to recover collateral from bankruptcy cases and to pursue dishonest debtors in the bankruptcy procees. Bankruptcy has been a home to Graig for the past years but he also practices in the real estate realm and works with families seeking planning for wills, trusts and estate adminstration.On a personal level, Graig is married and has three amazing kids. He loves coaching baseball, softball and soccer and being invovled in music whenever he can, where he sings, plays percussion and the ukulele. Graig has recently taken up some special team building training to challenge himself more personally (Check out www.goruck.com for a taste of that).Being a good lawayer is his career but being a great husband and father is his main priority. Connecting with people and listening to their issues and problems and then working with them to find the best solution is the ultimate goal.

Graig helped us with our deal to buy a home in Hopewell. He is very thorough with his knowledge and gave us inputs throughout the process of Attorney Review, Inspection & Contingencies and Closing. He explained us all documentation very well at the time of closing before we actually signed anything. The experience was very smooth and friendly. Would highly recommend Graig for his services.

I am a business & financial planning consultant. I work pretty much nationwide. I was sued for "fraudulent transfer" in a New Jersey bankruptcy court by one of my best former clients---one for whom I had worked five years and actually done pretty well. But this guy (my former client) was a big talker and a dreamer, and he landed himself in a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, represented by a lawyer who was positively legendary (I found out) in New Jersey). It all started last summer at a moment when I was particularly short on cash. I must have spoken to three dozen lawyers all over New Jersey. On hearing the name of the lawyer who was representing my former client, every one of these lawyers said, "OH NO." Now, I knew that my former client's case was not only frivolous on the merits but time-barred. So I had to start off by representing myself pro se. I got ONE count knocked out on the first motion to dismiss, so I did "OK" on my own, but couldn't get the case to go away completely, and I knew I couldn't possibly represent myself in Court, go to trial on my own, or anything like that---"anyone who represents himself in Court has a fool for a lawyer," right? So I continued talked to even more lawyers in New Jersey. Somehow, someway, I found (this is going to sound so corny, but I believe it): somehow God sent me to Graig Corveleyn. Graig Corveleyn not only accepted my case on what I can only call very reasonable terms, he showed no "fear, shock or awe" at the idea of defending me against this very senior, very prestigious, New Jersey Bankruptcy Lawyer who was, like I say, to every other lawyer in the state, some kind of "Legend of Superman." Even in our initial interviews, I could tell that Mr. Corveleyn knew the Bankruptcy Courts and the applicable law backwards and forwards. He took my case, even though he knew he was fighting this "Superhero Super-lawyer" on the other side.... As I say, I work nationwide, so I have literally dealt with lawyers everywhere from Boston, Mass, and Bangor, Maine, to Wasilla, Alaska, and Waikiki, Hawaii. I normally have a rather dim view of lawyers---they are conformists who cannot think outside the box or imagine anything that is new, different, or outside whatever there cookie-cutter specialty is. In Graig Corveleyn, I found someone who actually COULD see the forest and the trees, and notice that there was smut on the bark and rot inside of even on some of the oldest and biggest growths in the whole forest. And he could see the justice on my side---even though I'm a very unusual case. Did you read that, folks, "he could see justice....even in a very unusual case." THAT is really unusual in a lawyer, and it makes Graig Corveleyn a real hero---not a legend because he's been around forever and had really big clients in the past (that was my opponent's lawyer), but because Graig Corveleyn has eyes to see and ears to hear, a discerning mind and a heart to sympathize. As of this moment, my case isn't over yet. Graig has not waivered, not dropped the ball, not showed any sign of quitting....even though the flow of money has been more regularly in the negative than in the positive towards him. That's because he has a brain and a heart to see a winnable case even in an unusual and difficult situation. I expect Graig Corveleyn will one day be a legend himself. Not because of my case (although who knows? The other side is strangely persistent in the face of one defeat and setback after another), but because of who he is and how he does what he does. Graig Corveleyn has worked inside the system with the U.S. Trustee's office---I don't quite understand how all that works in Bankruptcy Court, but that's why we need lawyers, right? He knows all the Judges and what's normal, abnormal, and downright crazy/fruity. Bankruptcy Courts are Courts of equity and I would have to say, Graig Coveleyn's sense of equity and fairness is almost unparalleled in any lawyer I have ever met.
