Graves Garrett Greim LLC is pleased to announce Ben Graves, Josh Ketchmark, Matt Kuckelman and Peyton Morehouse have joined the firm as part of the annual summer associate program, which gives participants the valuable opportunity to spend the summer working with firm attorneys in a range of practice areas while receiving training, mentorship, and exposure to clients and meaningful casework.
