Charlie’s heroes have always been cowboys but he wanted to become a trial lawyer. A trial lawyer is a hope to those without hope. A trial lawyer stands between the powerful and are a champion of the powerless. The trial lawyer, working with a jury, is the real equalizer between the powerful and powerless. Charlie finds it rewarding to stand up and fight for those who’ve been left out or treated unfairly. There’s nothing he enjoys more than finding solutions for his clients who desperately need his help. He has devoted his education and career to becoming the very best advocate for his clients. Charlie graduated from Baylor University majoring in History before attending Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas.

After graduating from Baylor Law, Charlie moved to Collin County to begin working and developing his trial skills as an assistant district attorney in Collin County. It was a natural progression from helping to protect people from crime to help protect the injured from insurance and corporate interest who would love nothing more than to escape accountability when they harm others in McKinney, Collin County, and throughout the North Texas region. Charlie is now a partner attorney practicing at McCraw Law Group.

I am a native of Chicago, Illinois, and received Bachelor of Arts degrees in political science and speech communication from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, spending one semester studying abroad in London and traveling all over Europe. Following that, I earned my Juris Doctorate from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. I moved to New Jersey following graduation from law school and was licensed by the Supreme Court of New Jersey in 1994 and the Supreme Court of New York in 1995. Moving back to Chicago, I was then licensed by the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1995, and after moving to Texas, I was licensed by the Supreme Court of Texas in 2016. I have also been admitted to practice in the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, when I was appointed by the U.S. Court of Appeals as attorney to an inmate in his criminal appeal. I have also practiced in various state and federal courts around the country. During my practice, I have practiced in the areas of family law, corporate and securities litigation, mediation and arbitration, as well as product liability mass litigation, probate, and civil litigation. I am also a certified family law mediator. My primary focus now is on all aspects of family law including divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, and spousal support. Starting in Chicago and then New Jersey, I was blessed with three amazing children. After we moved to Texas, I was divorced from their father, took in two more children, and decided I could best help people by combining my life experiences with my abilities as a lawyer. The practice of family law involves intense emotions in the clients. As an experienced litigator and from my life experiences, I am able to empathize with and fervently advocate on behalf of my clients while offering creative solutions and ideas to help clients adjust to their new “normal”.
