Estate planning, Residential real estate

Our family has been a client of the McCarthy Law Firm for 4 generations. This statement alone speaks to the value we place on the counsel of this firm. John F. McCarthy III has successfully handled all our residential real estate matters and estate planning needs.

Knowledgeable. Thorough. Excellent Service.

Jack handled my residential closing and I was very happy with his service. A great small office firm.

condo sale

Jack McCarthy handled the sale of my deceased father's condo. Communication was very good with his paralegal. He had to work out some issues with the buyer, which were handled promptly, and the sale was completed. I was especially happy with the fact that most of the paperwork could be handled electr...onically, since I live in a different state.

Dr. JP Farr

Consummate attorney & gentleman who has consistently provided me effective legal services with my estate planning and residential purchases/leases. A pleasure to do business with.

Very helpful with our closing

As co-executors of our father’s estate, my brother and I needed an attorney to handle the closing for our Dad’s apartment. We decided to engage Jack because of his excellent reputation as well as the fact that our fathers had been longtime friends and fellow Princeton alumni, and Jack’s parents lived... in the same independent senior living facility as ours and thus was very familiar with the property and community. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the expertise and responsiveness Jack and his paralegal, Ivette, provided us throughout the process. They helped everything go smoothly, including dealing promptly with a last-minute issue with the title agency, and we were able to close on the scheduled date without any further “hiccups.”

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.
