Top Notch. Caring & Great Guy with Experience & Knowledge.

After much research, and calling Mr. McGraw's office. Terry and his staff clearly had the experience and knowledge to handle my WC claim. He explained the process, and knows the system. He provides peace of mind and genuinely cares about your well being. A very hard worker. He follows up in a timel...y fashion at all hours. Call Terry First!

Honest, compassionate, VERY knowledgeable!

I had an attorney back out on me just a weekend before my Monday hearing, scrambling to find help on such sort notice, Terry answered the call! Like most attorneys I spoke to, he was unable to be there BUT instead of writing me off. He talked with me and walked me through everything! Talked me throug...h my information and informed how it should be used to go in favor. How to handle the hearing as a whole. He was very knowledgeable! Very friendly and showed a lot of compassion for someone who needed help and didn’t have anyone else to turn to! I whole heartedly recommend Terry! To put it simply, he was a life saver!

Thank you for the explanation.

I had a question about an article Mr. McGraw wrote and got his answer very fast with very clear explanation.

Terry is amazing.....

To anyone that is fighting a worker's comp case, you will not find a better attorney than Terence McGraw. When my wife and I began researching attorneys for my worker's comp case, we had decided that we would limit our consideration to attorney's that had been rated 10 by the AVVO. Terry was the fi...rst attorney I called, and after speaking with him I knew he was the perfect fit for my situation. From the moment I first spoke with Terry on the phone, I appreciated his approach and how detailed he was. Throughout the process of my case, it was evident to me that I made the right decision. His knowledge of workers comp law is extensive. There was not one question I had for him that he was unable to answer on the spot. He was also willing to set up a time to speak with me whenever I needed his advice, or to go over any questions or concerns that I had. I can't even imagine the position I might be in today had Terry not been in my corner fighting for me. He changed the life of my family for the better and for that I couldn't be more grateful. So please don't waste your time doing any more research. Just call Terry, and after your first moments on the phone you will know he is exactly who you want as your attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
