About Us

• The mission of McKELL GRAFF, PLLC is to resolve legal issues at the lowest level of conflict and through legal and holistic means, help our clients find peace in their lives through the resolution of negative situations and toxic grievances. Most attorneys do not offer other methods to resolve legal conflicts. As a result, many people are not aware that they have choices. When you are aware you have choices, you experience less stress and fear. You are able to make better decisions and work from a place of calm, rather than a place of panic and reaction. To resolve a legal matter at the lowest level of conflict, one needs an attorney who is trained and who offers a full spectrum of legal, mediation, conciliation, and negotiation services to provide the greatest range of assistance. Even with alternatives to litigation, there are some people who just want to “have their day in court.” For those people, having capable attorneys who are able to articulate clients’s rights in writing and at court is very important. There is a difference, however, between being an assertive attorney and an aggressive attorney. An assertive attorney represents the client’s claims to the fullest extent, but helps the client understand the client’s chances so that the client’s financial resources are put to the best use. The tactics of an aggressive attorney sometimes frustrate and anger judges, which can not only backfire, but cause unnecessary fees and costs for clients. People new to the legal system are surprised to find out that most litigated cases settle before trial. In all family law matters that are contested, the court requires a judicial settlement conference before a trial will be scheduled. McKELL GRAFF, PLLC is committed to swift and financially efficient resolution. When settlement is a possibility, it is important to have an attorney with excellent negotiation skills who can guide the case to settlement.
