"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.

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.

Remarkable Attorney, Phenomenal Individual

I have used Beau for a few different family matters, with each case Beau has help me out in so many ways I lost count. Because of Beau and his amazing work, knowledge and dedication, I now have full legal and physical custody of my four children from my previous marriage. He has helped my family thro...ugh many hard and difficult time, and through each has always been there believing in us. Beau had stood by my side and had never doubted me as a father while never giving up on my children and family. He ensured that not only my interest but also those of my children were looked after. Beau was a strong advocate of mine throughout the whole process never giving up or giving less than 100%. Beau has always been there for us when we needed him. He would explain to us the situation in details, give us our options, and give us counsel. Then no matter the decision we made Beau would stick behind it and us and fought to make it a reality. Beau is both a remarkable attorney and he is a phenomenal individual. I say this because after everything Beau had done for my family and me in the court room, he even honored us by marrying us. We consider Beau a part of our family now and realize that we are together because of him and his extraordinary efforts in the court room. I would recommend Beau without hesitation. Thank you

Exceptional attorney!!!!!!!

Beau helped me to win an issue in court on where my daughter would be attending school last fall. My daughters mother wanted her in a school over 50 miles away where she lives. Which means I would become an every other weekend dad. Up until this point I was seeing my daughter all the time. Beau fough...t to keep a daughters dad in her life (like I had been up to this point). He responded to every email, every phone call in a super timely fashion. He was extremely knowledgable on every aspect of my case. He is a great person and a great trustworthy attorney- which are hard to find in an attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. I've used him before this case, and I will be his client for life based on all the great things he has done for me legally. He is the best in the twin cities! Reliable, trustworthy, extremely attentive to detail and great in court! Attorneys don't get any better than Beau D. McGraw.

He is the best!

I have used Mr. McGraw for family member needs, business advice and needs and have sent my friends to him. He is top notch in all dealings. After using other attorneys covered by my legal insurance to resolve issues that still haunt me, I resolved to not try to pinch pennies and paid the required fe...es for representation and have absolutely no regrets. As some of the other reviews have stated sometimes we get impatient and worry that things are not being done fast enough but that is not the case. Beau knows the law, knows the system, and does what is needed at the appropriate time, all of this and resolutions that don't haunt you years later. I most highly recommend Beau McGraw without reservation.
