Mr

John prepared and examined our Will and Power of Attorney. I and my wife reviewed all pages and we are very satisfied with the content, law, and professional product. We have great faith and trust in John and most assuredly will recommend him and his firm to our friends and relatives.

Finding and Excellent Attorney

As the Chairman of a midsize non-profit educational and research corporation, I am faced with legal decisions on a daily basis. I have come to rely on John" Jack " Mc Carthy, Esq and his team to counsel my board of directors on crucial decisions, and produce iron clad instruments to meet our needs f...or establishing trusts, contracts, real property purchases & leases. Further, the McCarthy Law Firm provides top-notch legal services but bills conservatively. We intend to continue to use and benefit from Jack's counsel. Dr. J. Pierce Farrell Chairman Board of Directors Institute for S&H, Princeton, NJ

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.
