Edward S. Maccoll

The two recent bad reviews are obviously fake - they didn't even spell the attorney's last name correctly. Edward S. MacColl has been my family's attorney for decades. When my father passed away, he and his paralegal were attentive, kind and professional, as they have been for the years we have kno...wn them. It is disgusting that someone obviously way too much time on their hands would disparage an attorney whose actions and consideration for his clients go against every bad, greedy attorney stereotype. Ed MacColl is the type of person you want on your side.

I wish I had done a better review before hiring Ed Maccoll. The case was a simple civil case between myself and a client who owed me money. At first Ed came across as competent but as time wore on I could see that he was far from that. He missed a couple crucial points in the case. He even missed... a deadline. I asked him why he hadn't submitted the information on time. His excuse, "Sorry I was away hiking." when asked couldn't you have instructed some one like your paralegal to fill in for you. His response,"No she couldn't because she was away with me." At that point I was totally disgusted. I had my case transferred to another attorney. In light of this he even tried to charge me for something he didn't do. Stay away that would be my advice.

Its taken a while to write this because I wanted to give distance to a painful and emotional experience. Ed Maccoll claims to be a steward of the law, but my experience is far less favorable. His in actions, though not raising to the bar of being criminally negligent; were, in my opinion, a circum...stance of poor judgement that cost me thousands of dollars that otherwise would not have been lost. In addition the firms accounting and invoicing are below standards I had to consistently asked to see invoices so I knew how much of my retainer was remaining. The invoices ended coming in months behind schedule with charges that could not be explained. Caution to anyone who thinks he can help you.
