Mr. McGraw has over 16 years of experience trying civil and criminal cases throughout the State of Maryland. He has tried over 150 criminal and civil jury trials to verdict. Additionally, Mr. McGraw frequently appears before the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings representing professional licensees, foster parents, and caretakers accused of wrongdoing by state and local agencies.
Prior to joining Cochran & Chhabra, Mr. McGraw worked in the insurance defense industry where he represented Fortune 500 companies, insurance carriers, and private individuals. His insurance defense practice focused on auto torts, premises liability, intentional torts, insurance coverage, and the investigation of fraudulent insurance claims. Mr. McGraw continues to apply his knowledge of the insurance industry to helping people injured by the negligence of others.
Mr. McGraw is often called upon to handle unique cases involving government officials and witnesses. He has also served as lead counsel in cases being heard in smaller jurisdictions due to his trial experience.

Mr. McGraw is the father of an autistic child and is adept at serving clients with special needs as well as addiction and emotional issues.
