Todd P. Graves is a private practice attorney, Republican lawyer and politician, who previously served as United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. A twice-elected state prosecutor who is currently in private practice with the law firm Graves Garrett LLC, his practice focuses on representing individuals and businesses nationwide before federal and state courts and administrative agencies.

Notable lawsuits
He filed a lawsuit in May 2014 on behalf of political activist Eric O'Keefe (Wisconsin Club for Growth) against the Government Accountability Board (GAB) in Wisconsin, which captured national media attention, including coverage by The Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit, which also names Kevin Kennedy, the board's executive director and general counsel, asserts that, under Kennedy's direction, the GAB collaborated with five county district attorneys in a secret John Doe investigation of O'Keefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth. According to the suit, this is in violation of state statutes that restrict GAB to investigations relating to civil violations of campaign laws.
Todd Graves (born February 20, 1972) is an American entrepreneur and the founder, chairman and CEO of Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, a fast food restaurant that offers fried chicken fingers as its only main course. Graves, along with Craig Silvey, founded the restaurant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on August 28, 1996. Graves graduated from Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge, LA.
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
Graves had a vision for a quick-service restaurant focusing on a simple menu item, chicken fingers. Unable to gain financing, Graves decided to raise his own capital and worked as a boilermaker in Los Angeles, California and a commercial sockeye salmon fisherman in Naknek, Alaska. On August 28, 1996, Graves opened Raising Cane's for business. Over the next 12 years, Graves would oversee the company expansion to more than 100 restaurants and more than $100 million in annual sales.
Awards & recognition
The Baton Rouge Business Report, a local business news magazine, named Graves the Young Businessperson of the Year in 2002. Additionally, the Business Report named Graves to their 2000 Top 40 Under 40 list, a recognition given to young businessmen and women in the Baton Rouge Capital Region for their achievements before the age of 40. Graves has also been named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2008 award winner.

Há tempo, muito tempo, que eu estou longe de casa E nessas ilhas cheias de distância O meu blusão de couro se estragou Ouvi dizer num papo da rapaziada Que aquele amigo que embarcou comigo cheio de esperança e fé, já se mandou Sentado à beira do caminho pra pedir carona Tenho falado à mulher companheira "Quem sabe lá no trópico a vida esteja a mil!" E um cara que transava a noite no Danúbio Azul Me disse que faz sol na América do Sul E nossas irmãs nos esperam no coração do Brasil Minha rede branca, meu cachorro ligeiro Sertão! Olha o concorde que vem vindo do estrangeiro O fim do termo "saudade" com o charme brasileiro De alguém sozinho a cismar Gente de minha rua, como eu andei distante Quando eu desapareci, ela arranjou um amante Minha normalista linda, ainda sou estudante Da vida que eu quero dar Até parece que foi ontem minha mocidade Com diploma de sofrer de outra Universidade Minha fala nordestina, quero esquecer o francês E vou viver as coisas novas, que também são boas O amor/humor das praças cheias de pessoas Agora eu quero tudo, tudo outra vez! Minha rede branca, meu cachorro ligeiro Sertão! Olha o concorde que vem vindo do estrangeiro O fim do termo "saudade" com o charme brasileiro De alguém sozinho a cismar Gente de minha rua, como eu andei distante Quando eu desapareci, ela arranjou um amante Minha normalista linda, ainda sou estudante Pra vida que eu quero lutar
