I Have Had The Opportunity To Work With Attorney Elizabeth Ontko

I Highly Recommend The McCraw Law Group

I highly recommend the McCraw Law Group. I have known Lin McCraw and his family most of my life. He has handled legal affairs for me and my family for decades. Lin’s knowledge of the law and his passion for taking care of people is hard to find in today’s world. Lin is one of the finest people I’ve e...ver known and there is no one else I would trust to take care of any future legal needs.

"Absolutely, without a doubt, the best personal injury trial lawyer in Collin County and one of the best in Texas. I absolutely endorse, Mr. McCraw."

Personal injury lawyer | Jan 18

Relationship: Friend

"Lin is a first rate attorney that knows how to get results. In addition to being an outstanding trial strategist, Lin keeps such a rapid pace in his cases that few other attorneys can match. As a result, his clients get better results faster, and the other side is continually being kept on the defensive. I can't recommend Lin strongly enough for catastrophic brain injury cases. You could not hire a better, more caring, and focused attorney in that line of work."

Personal injury lawyer | Jan 03

"Lin, with medical doctors in his family, has found his calling. Lin has been very successful helping the injured, especially when it comes to people who have suffered brain injuries."

Personal injury lawyer | Nov 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"John "Lin" McCraw is literally not just one of the best attorneys in the United States, he is one of the best attorneys in history. He has obtained million-dollar recoveries, tried many cases and he is one of the most honorable human beings I know. I have immense respect for Mr. McCraw. He's a good Christian man and he absolutely cares about his clients and the community. Mr. McCraw is really doing right by the world with what he does. He is the go-to attorney in Texas, and throughout the United States for people with catastrophic brain injury cases and trucking accident cases. Trucking accident cases are NOT "big car wreck" cases, they are are an entirely different animal. Lin will not only help a client recover much more, but if you are an attorney with one of these cases, bring Lin in and split it with him - both you and your client will get a lot bigger recovery that both you and your client deserve. I absolutely recommend Mr. McCraw with no hesitation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
