This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mollie is the BEST!

We never thought we’d find ourselves in the middle of a legal battle, but after our family was faced with a near death experience, we had no choice but to find representation to navigate us through the aftermath If you are reading this and trying to decide on representation for you or a loved one..., look no further! Mollie McGraw is the best attorney ever!! She walked us through every step, kept us informed of all our options along the way, and remained sensitive to our emotions. It’s easy to get discouraged by the legal system and impossible to foresee how taxing something like this can be on a family of 4. Thankfully, Mollie was there for us the whole time. She fought for us even when we were on the brink of giving up. She is smart, experienced, and fierce! She listens, understands, strategizes, and has the skills to execute and pull it all off. We couldn’t recommend a better attorney to fight the good fight. After a multi-year battle, she never dropped the ball, never wavered, and in the end, she won our case.

Legal representation with a Trustworthy, Highly Ethical Professional

Ms. McGraw was recommended to me during a time that was unfortunate and an experience that no one wants to repeat. Her professionalism, sincere desire to not only represent me but fight for my case during the many emotional twists and turns provided a sense of security for me even without knowing th...e outcome. Ms. MGraw is extremely knowledgeable with the law and kept me informed with timely and honest communication. Her trustworthiness and strong work ethic are apparent to all from the highly visible respect of the legal community within Las Cruces and the state of New Mexico. During a stormy time in my life, Ms. McGraw was the solid legal shelter for me and I would highly recommend her professional legal services. You will not only receive outstanding legal counsel, but feel like you have a partner representing you within the legal maze of confusion.

Mollie Mcgraw is a first-rate attorney.

Until 2009, I had only required an attorney's services to set up a will. When I needed representation for a personal injury claim, Mollie McGraw was enthusiastically recommended to me by another attorney I hold in high regard. I was not disappointed! She is smart, knowledgeable about the law, person...able and trustworthy. Ms. McGraw did an excellent job negotiating a settlement for me and kept me informed as to my options throughout the process. I deeply appreciated the clear, assertive, but never offensive manner in which she negotiated on my behalf. She is truly an excellent attorney.

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.
