Practical Experience of Attorney Patrick Michael McGraw
Patrick Michael McGraw helps real families solve very real problems. He understands that family is the single most important thing. He takes the approach to our practice and always remembers that regardless of how many clients he represents, the individual client’s family is the only one they have.
