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 ever known and there is no one else I would trust to take care of any future legal needs.

I've Worked With Lin McCraw and His Staff For Over Twenty Years

I've worked with Lin McCraw and his staff for over twenty years. Their caring nature and legal knowlege is a rare combination. They will handle your situation with an expertise, and level of attention rarely found today. I have sent many people to them, and will always continue to do so.

Looking back 15 years ago, I'm convinced having the opportunity to cross paths with Lin McCraw

Looking back 15 years ago, I'm convinced having the opportunity to cross paths with Lin McCraw and be represented by him, was a god send for me and my family. Due to a TBI and spinal cord injury, I lost my career, my health and my identity. If not for his tireless efforts, I don't know where my life would be today. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his firm to my family and friends, if the need should arise.

Lin McCraw is Both My Attorney And My Friend

Lin McCraw is both my attorney and my friend. I have known him for 18 years. I know that he is highly regarded among his peers and professional associates. He is intelligent, experienced, hard working, and exemplary character : A man you can count on.

Lin And His Team Have Represented My Family In Several Litigations

Lin and his team have represented my family in several litigations, some very complex and we have been very pleased with the results. He is excellent at putting legal jargon in lay mans terms and even better about explaining potential outcomes and managing realistic expectations. I don't think all the money in the world would get you a better lawyer or one with more integrity.

Outstanding attorney. Give him your strong consideration.

We hired Lin for a complicated and time consuming insurance matter, which we won after a long process. We were new to the DFW area and and hired Lin based on a recommendation. We found Lin to be extremely knowledgeable and diligent and he kept us well informed every step of the way. He was also concerned about what was best for us and definitely took our concerns and needs into account. Very honest. A strong family man with strong moral compass. Well done

When only the best will do

Lin is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in Texas. As an attorney myself, I often turn to him for assistance. I have referred several cases Lin and will continue to do it in the future. I have the utmost respect for Lin as an attorney and a person.

Michael McCready

Personal injury Attorney | Mar 14
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am a personal injury lawyer in Chicago and Lin is my go to attorney in Texas. If I have a client injured in Texas, Lin is the first person I would call. I endorse this lawyer."

David Hughey

Personal injury Attorney | Dec 11
Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer for personal injury and particularly closed head/brain injuries. I have associated Mr. McCraw on at least two such cases and he was passionate about the law, medicine, and the rights of his clients."

Jason Van Dyke

Personal injury Attorney | Jul 16
Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Mark in attempting to collect a personal injury judgment. He is highly professional and his skills as a litigator are unquestionable."

Michael Waddington

Personal injury Attorney | Jun 07
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse John. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."

Rebecca Collins

Litigation Attorney | May 09
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. He is dedicated to his clients and never hesitates to fight against the big corporations, the big insurance companies or the defendant with the deep pockets. He is a true trial litigator."

Troy Burleson

Personal injury Attorney | Mar 06
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Erik Broel

Personal injury Attorney | 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."

William Vitz

Personal injury Attorney | Jan 03
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Dana Palmer

Personal injury Attorney | 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."
