Professional

My experience with Larraine was very positive. I hired her to fight for me in order to save my home from foreclosure. Her professional approach dealing with my case gave me confidence and assurance we were going to win. We did win. She stopped the foreclosure and worked out a deal I'm very happy with.... Today, my family and I are in our home thanks to her efforts and professional work. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional lawyer ready to fight for you.

Review for Larraine McNamara-McGraw

Larraine is one of the most amazing women I've ever met. She is so motivating when I'm down. She gives me hope and confidence that we will be triumphant when we finally get to court in March. I can't say enough about this spectacular woman. She is small in size but big in personality and intelligence.... I know that she will win my case and that we both will make history when it is all said and done. I feel that my story, and Larraine as my attorney, would make a great 20/20 episode or even 60 minutes. I feel proud to have her represent me!

Compasionate, Knowledgable, Honest, with quick results

We had gone through a foreclosure process with our bank over three years ago when the bank dismissed the case. After almost a year and a half with no word the bank filed again. We had received a "mailer" advertising this attorney and contacted her two days before needing a response for the courts. ... After only two months of being clients we have now been given a deal of a lifetime from our bank through mediation. The stress of dealing with Monster Mega Banks is no longer a concern and we are now able to stay in our home. She has truly been blessed and so have we

A lawyer you definitely need when faced with forclosure!!!

Due to unforseen circumstances, we found ourselves in a possible foreclosure situation. With Lorraine's legal knowledge of these situations we were able to get the assistance we needed to avoid losing our home that we were not given by our lender. She let us know what forms to use and what choices we... had for connecting with the necessary departments and organizations and we were able to negotiate a restructured payment plan. She was very informative and professional during the whole ordeal. We were treated with compassion and understanding which we feel is necessary in this type of situation.

Need a forclosure Attorney...here is the best!

Larraine is one of the finest Attorneys that I have ever worked with...and I have bought and sold multi-million dollar businesses, (using multiple Attorneys). She is sharp, tough, diligent and punctual. She listens and understands your needs as they relate to the law. Larraine was recommended to me... by my friends, who are also Attorneys, and I highly recommend her for your legal guidance!

Larraine McNamara-McGraw's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Larraine
Michelle B. Fitzgerald headshot
Michelle Fitzgerald

Foreclosure lawyer | Apr 15

Relationship: Co-worker

"I wholeheartedly echo the other lawyer endorsements. Larraine joined our firm years ago after the real estate market crash and she saw a unique need that was largely unmet - and still today! - for homeowners to have legal defense to save their home from foreclosure without seeking to file bankruptcy, if that is not their desire or need. She is zealous, efficient, professional, dedicated and thoughtful, not only about the legal process but also assisting clients to discuss their overall goals and needs. Coordination of both is important to achieve the best outcome for a client and allow them to move on with their lives with peace of mind. If you are struggling to save your home, it's never too early to speak with Larraine as planning ahead is key to saving your home - and retirement. Larraine would say - modifications do NOT stop foreclosures - you have to address both, and 20 days from service is your deadline. You will be thankful you called her, regardless of your situation."
