Great experience

Shelagh was extremely professional. Not only did she get me an excellent settlement, but she also had it to me faster than I could have expected. She never was annoyed with my questions, she also also extremely accessible. I’ll never go anywhere else

Great Attorney

I recently hired Attorney McCahey for a personal injury. I’m so happy with the results and would hire her again in the event I needed a lawyer!

Light at the end of the tunnel

Met with her and she was extremely sweet and explained a lot that we needed to understand and wish we had went to her from the beginning! It's a difficult situation we are in so it's tough to tell what is going to happen but hopefully she will be part of our case and handle the rest of the way! Could...n't be more grateful to have met shelagh she is an outstanding understanding and knowledgeable person! She looks up other people's interest and what is the best for them!! Looking forward to hopefully working with her!

Wondeful Lawyer!

I hired Shelagh McCahey for my workers compensation case and I would hire her again. She was always available to talk, answered all of my questions and she made me feel comfortable. I was extremely happy with the results. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer that will care about your ...case.

Thorough, fast, and, reliable

I was injured at work and I started out not knowing that I needed a lawyer. Once I was informed that I should retain a lawyer, I looked on avvo to advise me of a good attorney. I sent a message to shelagh through the website and she messaged me back immediately. At this point I was pressured for tim...e and shelagh met with me the next day. Shelagh began immediately with my case and got me results fast. I would recommend her to anyone in need.

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.
