This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer! Extremely knowledgeable.

Rob has provided us with valuable information and suggestions and is always available when we need him. He gets the job done. The success of our business would not have been possible without him. Highly recommended.

One of the Best. Excellent Lawyer.

I use Attorney McCarthy as my go to attorney for my business and for my personal matters. I trust his judgment completely and I believe in him. As long as he is practicing law I will remain his client. I am impressed by his personality and his clear knowledge of the laws and the legal system. He's ...a top notch attorney whom I highly recommend.

Very Good Man.

A very honest and trust worthy man. I believe that Attorney McCarthy will do his best to obtain justice and serve his clients to the best of his ability, which was top notch when he assisted me. He listens well, prepares well.

Adoption Service

To whom it may concern: We adopted a beautiful baby girl through Massachusetts DCF in January 2011 Our introduction to the adoption process was initially through MA DCF Foster care (of the baby girl) in the Fall of 2008 which segued to Foster-to-Adopt status in 2009. At this time, we were intr...oduced to Robert McCarthy, Jr. Esq. who was the baby girl’s attorney. Attorney McCarthy was exceptionally helpful, caring and forthright concerning the adoption process and the time-line. Along with the DCF Adoption Worker, we felt we had a wonderful advocacy team who were looking out for the best interests of the baby girl. What was most important was Attorney McCarthy was acting on behalf of the baby girl: she had a troubled beginning (pre-Foster care) and as her caregivers, we were continuously comforted by the strong and specific legal oversight provided by Attorney McCarthy. • He contacted us frequently to check on her progress • He was present and legally protective of her during all recurring DCF meetings • He was always ‘approachable’ and whenever we needed some information or feedback, he was equally ‘reachable’. • To this day, we are in contact providing updates on the baby girl The baby girl has brought us significant joy to our family and we are forever thankful to Attorney McCarthy for all of his support during the adoption process. Respectfully submitted, Adoptive Family from Haverhill, Massachusetts

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
