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!

Most dedicated and hard working attorney !!!

I live in a small town in Georgia. I was made aware that my cousin passed. She had a discussion with me prior to her death that she would be leaving me "some" money. A will that a Lynnete got her to change her will while in a mental state and leaving her estate to just to her. I choose to challe...nge the will. I needed an attorney and went online to research attorneys in Mass. I read up on several and left a message with George MacKoul. I felt he could take on this task. This was on Dec. 23rd. He called me back the same day from California. I explained my situation. He said he would call me back after Christmas, after he had to decided where or not to take the case George called me back and told me he would take the case.. However, chances of me getting anything were nil as I was not in the will. He was able to research the case and found many things that were wrong. He worked so hard and long hours. He worked diligently and kept in close contact with me. In the end ( 2+yrs) later, we won a substantial amount of money I recommend him to anyone that wants a dedicated, caring attorney. He truly cares about his client's and is in contact with you through everything along the way. He is so honest and trustworthy. I could not have found a better man. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he has accomplished for me.

Ms.

Although my mother died 13 years ago, her estate was recently settled(2019). It was only through Mr. Mackoul's legal prowess and patience that my brother and I retained our sanity. He was always available to answer our questions and his confident manner reduced my anxiety and increased my ability to ...believe that eventually "all would be well" and that there would be closure. I will always be grateful to Mr. Mackoul for his effective legal strategy, compassionate manner, and sense of humor.

I found Mr. MacKoul to be very trustworth and loyal. My cases lasted almost eight years. He kept me informed of each step and was extremely patient in explaining all of my options. He has restored my faith in the legal profession. He was very conscientious about keeping my expenses as reasonable ...as possible, always keeping in mind my financial situation. I would highly recommend him.
