I hired George for a variety of matters...

In every case, if he couldn't help me himself (due to legal venue, mainly), he would recommend a colleague, or a way forward. I believe he has his client's best interest at heart. Even if he stood to gain financially from moving forward in a matter, if it wasn't smart for me (financially, for example...), he would tell me. And he did a lot of research before coming to a conclusion. He did help me with one matter where a contractor owed me money. After receiving George's letter, the contractor snapped to attention, and paid me in full. I would definitely recommend George to anyone needing legal help.

Slip and Fall Injury Case

In June of 2020, I was entering a grocery store and slipped in a puddle of water on the floor and broke my ankle. I was on vacation from California and did not know any Attorneys. A friend suggested George MacKoul in Hyannis. George had practiced in California and was very knowledgeable in both Ca...lifornia and Massachusetts law. George really helped me with ideas to assist him in preparing my case. One suggestion was keeping a daily diary. The case took 2 years to close. George negotiated a very good settlement. He and his Assistant, Diane, made our long-distance communication and document filing seamless. I would definitely encourage anyone to engage the services of George MacKoul!

Breach of contract dispute with boatyard

I hired George to represent me in a dispute I had with a boat yard. The boatyard failed to properly winterize my boat causing damage to the engines, and the cabin. The boatyards insurance company tried to offer me a small amount of money, but once I had George on the case things changed rapidly. I en...ded up getting the compensation I was asking for from the insurance company, and they had to dispose of the boat themselves. I can't say enough about George and how he efficiently worked through this dispute for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Absolutely the best!

We hired Mr MacKoul in 2013 we had a very involved case. It took 5 years to settle. Mr MacKoul never pressured us and always told us the truth good or bad. He even let us do some of the leg work to help keep costs down. He worked outrageously hard and knew every inch of our case. He helped us on ...so many levels We can not thank him enough. He will always be our lawyer from now on. Out of 5 stars we give him 10 stars. He is a class act.

A TRUE GENTLEMAN & AMAZING LAWYER

I cannot say enough about George MacKoul. My case was a 3 year nightmare involving a sibling suing me as trustee of my mother's trust and estate all because she didn't feel she received enough. George invested a lot of time and energy (always trying to save me in costs). He was so diligent and per...severing in studying case law regarding my case, investigating information, taking depositions. He is an amazing lawyer and an amazing human being and I am honored to know him. He won my case and also won my attorney's fees back! I would highly recommend him and would "definitely" use him again.

  • 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.
