This was a very stressful time and Mr.McGraw showed up for me, and took that stress away. He showed care for my situation and got my case in front of the right judge for my case, he made me seen in the very best way in courtroom, He fought the prosecutor and the states recommendations for 36 month prison commit and the judge was understanding of my situation. The state still wanted to impose a 90 day sentence and judge still denied that and gave me a 2 day sentence with time served, No restitution to the state or other fees Just probation. A great end to a long and unfortunate situation! Thank you Beau.

From the beginning after hiring Beau he made me feel comfortable. Beau was very straight forward on what was needed and what he was gonna do. When I was unsure about how the case was going he took the time to call me back in a timely manner and explained the case to me. Beau was very trusting and I felt secure and confident in his ability to work my case. I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you!

I have been working with Beau since 2019. He isn’t just an attorney, he is a voice of reason and someone who has helped me through an absolute nightmare of a divorce and custody battle. He is responsive, honest and always makes me feel heard. I am so thankful for Beau’s expertise and the meticulous work of his assistant, Melissa.

I'm so pleased with Beau's work on my complex divorce and custody case. His knowledge and experience made all the difference. He is my first choice for any legal matter.

Hired in December of 2018. First mistake unbeknownst to us was that he didn’t review our case before agreeing to accept, then sat on it just up until the statute of limitations was about to expire months later. Handed us a template for our civil complaint, and had us fill in the blanks, as his knowledge of the case wasn’t as good as it should’ve been. In one particular motion that he filed, he copied and pasted my thoughts to him in an email and used that as the motion. I would call to give him new facts that would help us, and he’s cut me off saying “I don’t want that stuff right now, and no one knows your case better than you”. My desperation made me blind to the red flags. Ended up paying him an additional (almost twice the fee agreement) to motivate him to no avail. We’ve never had legal issues prior to this so we had no clue how this process worked. He missed several deadlines to file motions to strengthen our case (deadline to introduce expert witness) not out of lack of awareness, as we pleaded with him to do so well in advance. Judge ultimately ended up striking down said permission to file and gave reason of us having ample time do so and not taking action. In the end, our case was dismissed with one of the reasons being that he cited the wrong laws to apply to our case. He was hard to reach, unless the bill was due. His legal assistant was amazing though. Too bad she’s not the attorney. In his motion for summary judgement, he told the judge that this was not his area of expertise. We consulted another attorney afterwards to see if we could salvage our case in an appeal, but they said that McGraw really gave them nothing to work with in the case file. In consulting with attorneys prior to him, we knew their quality was better from their record in our type of case, but couldn’t afford them. You get what you pay for I guess. In hindsight, we should have terminated him and asked for a prorated refund.

Spring 2016, Beau took over a dissolving case, told my sister he would represent me well and made it sound great, later, Beau said he read everything in the lawyers file, (which he had referred me to), then told me there was nothing he could do, (I said the father was drugging my son) that it [it appeared] "I was crying out for HELP", told me there was nothing he could do. Later, I DISCOVERED Beau had investigated my allegations, investigated me (mother) for drugs, while leaving my son being drugged by his dad, October 10, 2016 I was investigated, staged, drugged. Mid November 2016 my son either died, or ended up in the hospital, as his cousin said "I saw **** [my son] yesterday, Grandma won't tell me what happened" (sounds like a drug overdose), Beau further investigated, to see if I knew anything, Beau has since stopped communication, and denies all facts. Today, Beau has learned from his mistakes, is now pushing for "orders of protection", acting, rather than neglecting. I lost my child, don't lose yours.

Beau is truly a one of a kind criminal defense attorney. I went to three attorneys before him, and the consensus from all was a poor prognosis and that I "probably needed representation". The problem with those guys is they're not really looking out for you like Beau. They want to passively defend you, not take action, and let you give them your money for a defense you could get out of a kid in law school. After I explained my situation to Beau, he immediately took action, defending me like I would defend myself. He made aggressive, yet tactful decisions which took a highly "unfavorable" situation and got me the best possible conclusion. Outcome: no conviction, nothing at all. Beau knows his stuff, and he doesn't mess around. You want real defense, you gotta pay for the best. Hands down, you will find that here.

Beau has been by our side in this drawn-out process that our family wasn't expecting regarding the sale of a mutually owned home. He fought for us tooth and nail for a fair result, and will now be by our side again since the other party is fighting this result. We are scared but confident with him by our side that the courts will once again give a fair judgment to both parties, and he has even suggested how to get the results we are hoping for pushed forward so we can end this battle sooner rather than later. He has been very understanding of our many questions and never makes a question feel stupid. He was also a very strong advocate for us in the courtroom and we hope the same tenacity will help us again. We are glad we chose him and thankful he is continuing to work with us.

Beau fought the fight of my life, right by my side. My abusive ex & his family hired a high buck atty, in an attempt to take my children (age's 18-months & 7-months) from me. It was a battle, but in the end I was awarded full physical & legal custody. My ex was awarded supervised visitation to see our children at a safety center, where they breathalized him, & supervised the entire visits. The social workers @the safety center noted serious concerns re his parenting, (including showing up drunk 2x,) there notes went to the Ramsey Co judge/referee in our case. After requiring him to take parenting classes, he could resume his visitation. Instead of taking the classes & resuming visitation, he continuously harassed me. Today my children & I have a current OFP, (order for protection) protecting us through 2058. I am so grateful to Mr. McGraw for guiding me, successfully, through the family court system. My children are amazing teenagers today thriving in high school & sports. Without a fighter like Beau in our corner, their lives, my life, could have been very different, & very tragic.

I hired Beau McGraw to handle a probation violation that I had acquired right at the end of my probation time I was looking at a major extension on my probation and I had been charged with a new case. I was looking at prison time that’s for sure. There were many extenuating circumstances as to everything that had happened and with Beau McGraws expertise in the court room and with the law I got everything wrapped into one deal I got the help I needed and very minimal jail sentence which I got to be out for work release. Thank you so much to Beau and his firm for the final legal work and representation I received. I have to say he held my hand through this whole thing and it couldn’t have come out better.

I have had the pleasure to have Beau accept a few cases in the recent past. Thankfully those cases are well behind me now but I can't say enough good words about Beau and his team at the McGraw Law Firm. Give him a free consultation and you will be convinced he is the right Lawyer to choose.

Mr. McGraw was the best attorney I could possibly have contacted. He was very motivated and detail oriented in my divorce case. He constantly assured me I would be taken care of and boy did he deliver. He and his assistant Melissa were professional and courteous through the whole process. I would highly recommend Mr. Beau McGraw as he gets the job done.
