A pleasant experience in home buying

David assisted in the closing on my first home, taking great attention and patience in explaining the numerous forms and things I needed to be aware of throughout the process. He is the same lawyer my family has used for their real estate purchases without issue, and I would highly recommend his ser...vices.

Excellent real estate attorney

Mr. McMahan closed a real estate purchase for me. The closing went without any problems and it was, indeed, a pleasant experience. He answered any questions that I had. I highly recommend David and his staff.

Great Real Estate Attorney

Over the past few years I have used Mr. McMahon on behalf of my company for numerous real estate closings. He is efficient, detailed and thorough. I appreciate how he explains complicated documentation in such a way that everyone can understand. He has found and corrected title issues that should ...have been uncovered by previous closing attorneys such as outstanding security deeds and incorrect land survey information. I know that David and his staff are going to make sure we have clean and clear title to the property. His paralegal Beth is fantastic. I always get a quick response from her whether by phone or email. His receptionist Liz is always pleasant and helpful. I would certainly recommend Mr. McMahon for real estate law without any hesitation.

Failure to perform in clients behalf.

David was retained to represent me in a landlord/tenant dispute. We discussed obtaining a dispossessory on the tenant, and let the matter be handled through the court. When I called David he asked if I would mind letting Anna an associate in his office handle this. After directing her several times t...o obtain the dispossessory, they constantly delayed and preferred to negotiate with the tenant's attorney. I was hoping to remove tenant by Dec 18 2014;by delaying the process tenant was allowed to remain in my property until mid Jan 2015. These actions cost me loss of income and potential tenants.

Unfortunately, not all clients can be satisfied, especially when there is a disagreement between the client and the attorney with respect to what is in the best interest of the client and what the goal of the representation should be. Both Anna and I actively worked on this client's case for the time we represented this client, which was for approximately three to four weeks. We spoke with this client many times. The client initially indicated that he wanted a dispossessory. Then more and more factual and legal issues were presented. After consultation, the client indicated to us that he agreed with our advice that negotiations should occur. In the end, the client rejected our advice and decided to terminate our representation. I respect this client's right to ultimately decide what he wants to do with his case, as is the right of every client. I would respectfully disagree with this client's assessment of our services, and I hope he gets the outcome he is hoping for if in fact he litigates the issue rather than coming to an agreement with the other side.

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.
