Michael McGraw, Personal injury Attorney on Jan 26, 2021
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I was opposing counsel on several civil rights cases Maria handled when she was with the Office of Law. I always found her to be well prepared and easily able to handle complex issues. I now know Maria to be an excellent personal injury and criminal lawyer and always enjoy the opportunity to discuss strategy with her, particularly in criminal case. I endorse Maria and her firm.
