Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody

Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody law firm creeds to ‘serving clients, profession and community’ as their mission statement. Many major businesses love to proclaim how much they love and support community by cutting a check for their name to shine in lights as sponsors of any particular charity, sports event etc… Growing up of humble means, I would have never in my life think that a company of such stature, prestige, a multi-​million dollar law firm, deep in the heart of Austin TX on the 22^nd floor of the Frost Bank building would save my little business for the mere satisfaction of getting us back on track.
We’re The Austin Socialite LLC. We are Austin’s première website for the nightlife needs of the young, hip, weird, by way of photos, videos event planning and promotion (
). We just turned 1 year old March 1, 2012, thanks to Graves Dougherty.
There were 4 partners that founded the lifestyle website. In August of 2011, due to many issues, 3 of the partners asked 1 to leave, more than willing to give the 4^th partner what she was owed. The 4^th partner didn’t take it lightly and stole the passwords to the website amongst everything else needed to maintain the business, and proceeded to use the business as her very own. We had nowhere to turn. We started calling attorneys, and in turn, were quoted outrages prices that we couldn’t afford. Our business hadn’t seen a real profit ever and we were devastated at the fact that we were going to lose everything. Well, among many other attorneys, we got in touch with Pete Kennedy, he told us to come in, and introduced us to Danny Ramon. I knew before walking into the Frost Bank building that we could never afford them. But when we told Pete and Danny our story, they seen our passion and how much work we put into this thing, and what we were doing for the urban community– they took on the case free of charge. Our prayers were answered! When I tell you, this case was crazy, that’s actually an understatement. We went through highs and lows of all kinds, but in the end, Danny and Pete won our business back for us.
Attorneys Danny Ramon and Pete Kennedy of Graves Dougherty, we could never thank you enough. You both are angels and God placed you in our lives at the perfect point. It was probably one of your more unique cases ever, and though you had a trillion other things to do, you always made us feel like a priority. This might have been just another case to you, but you saved our dreams. Because of you, we are thriving, and without you, we would have nothing. We will succeed in your honor; your hard work and dedication will never end up in vain.
