"The Lawyers screwed up" (Beau included), after I lost my son

Spring 2016, Beau took over a dissolving case, told my sister he would represent me well and made it sound great, later, Beau said he read everything in the lawyers file, (which he had referred me to), then told me there was nothing he could do, (I said the father was drugging my son) that it [it app...eared] "I was crying out for HELP", told me there was nothing he could do. Later, I DISCOVERED Beau had investigated my allegations, investigated me (mother) for drugs, while leaving my son being drugged by his dad, October 10, 2016 I was investigated, staged, drugged. Mid November 2016 my son either died, or ended up in the hospital, as his cousin said "I saw **** [my son] yesterday, Grandma won't tell me what happened" (sounds like a drug overdose), Beau further investigated, to see if I knew anything, Beau has since stopped communication, and denies all facts. Today, Beau has learned from his mistakes, is now pushing for "orders of protection", acting, rather than neglecting. I lost my child, don't lose yours.

If you want the best...

Beau is truly a one of a kind criminal defense attorney. I went to three attorneys before him, and the consensus from all was a poor prognosis and that I "probably needed representation". The problem with those guys is they're not really looking out for you like Beau. They want to passively def...end you, not take action, and let you give them your money for a defense you could get out of a kid in law school. After I explained my situation to Beau, he immediately took action, defending me like I would defend myself. He made aggressive, yet tactful decisions which took a highly "unfavorable" situation and got me the best possible conclusion. Outcome: no conviction, nothing at all. Beau knows his stuff, and he doesn't mess around. You want real defense, you gotta pay for the best. Hands down, you will find that here.

blessed to have him in our corner

Beau has been by our side in this drawn-out process that our family wasn't expecting regarding the sale of a mutually owned home. He fought for us tooth and nail for a fair result, and will now be by our side again since the other party is fighting this result. We are scared but confident with him ...by our side that the courts will once again give a fair judgment to both parties, and he has even suggested how to get the results we are hoping for pushed forward so we can end this battle sooner rather than later. He has been very understanding of our many questions and never makes a question feel stupid. He was also a very strong advocate for us in the courtroom and we hope the same tenacity will help us again. We are glad we chose him and thankful he is continuing to work with us.

Posted by Amie | July 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Even though I was the defendant in our child custody case, I was awarded full physical & legal custody.

Beau fought the fight of my life, right by my side. My abusive ex & his family hired a high buck atty, in an attempt to take my children (age's 18-months & 7-months) from me. It was a battle, but in the end I was awarded full physical & legal custody. My ex was awarded supervised visitation to see ou...r children at a safety center, where they breathalized him, & supervised the entire visits. The social workers @the safety center noted serious concerns re his parenting, (including showing up drunk 2x,) there notes went to the Ramsey Co judge/referee in our case. After requiring him to take parenting classes, he could resume his visitation. Instead of taking the classes & resuming visitation, he continuously harassed me. Today my children & I have a current OFP, (order for protection) protecting us through 2058. I am so grateful to Mr. McGraw for guiding me, successfully, through the family court system. My children are amazing teenagers today thriving in high school & sports. Without a fighter like Beau in our corner, their lives, my life, could have been very different, & very tragic.

Best Legal representation I could’ve asked for

I hired Beau McGraw to handle a probation violation that I had acquired right at the end of my probation time I was looking at a major extension on my probation and I had been charged with a new case. I was looking at prison time that’s for sure. There were many extenuating circumstances as to e...verything that had happened and with Beau McGraws expertise in the court room and with the law I got everything wrapped into one deal I got the help I needed and very minimal jail sentence which I got to be out for work release. Thank you so much to Beau and his firm for the final legal work and representation I received. I have to say he held my hand through this whole thing and it couldn’t have come out better.
