About Grady E. Carden
​
I’m the founding member of Carden Legal Services, LLC. My wife and I have been married since 1992, and we believe in living life to the fullest—a value I carry into my law practice every day.
My diverse background includes six years in the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Power Program aboard a submarine, along with experience as a business owner, in technology, and in financial services. These experiences help me approach legal challenges with practical, real-world solutions.
Whether I’m representing an injured client, guiding a family through probate, or helping a business owner plan for the future, I bring the same passion and focus I have for adventure—running ultra-marathons, backpacking, kayaking, and exploring the outdoors—into my client relationships. My goal is always to provide a comfortable, personalized experience while helping you achieve your objectives.
