Sharp and funny lawyer. Fights for your rights.

He was a godsend on my case. My friend gave me his number to help my case in city court. Iwas charged with felony assault and criminal mischief and he got it dismissed for lack of evidence.Very smooth and was reasonable with his bill thanks again sir.

Dwi with accident

I would hire this man if I ever got in trouble again! he recently was my public defender.i called a private attorney in Kingston that said most likely i would get dwi because of the accident and one alcohol conviction on my record I thought to save the money and got nervous at arraignment because i ...didn’t get to talk to anyone before I was in front of the judge.in the first 20 seconds or so john found some inconsistencies in my tickets and began arguing with the judge and prosecutor about taking my license. he set it for a hearing to keep my license . i got to keep my license.. he asked me 2 weeks after if i wanted a trial or a plea bargain and explained the strengths and weaknesses of my case. i took a reckless and never lost my license thanks for not being afraid to fight

helped me get out of a dwi

I got in pulled over at night and charged with dwi. i thought I was going to lose my license for months and months and go to jail. mr. Mccartin looked at the case and said the reason for my stop was bad he explained what this all meant in plain english and never spoke down to me. the judge and prosec...utor at first court date wanted to take my license at court but. he convinced them not to. he told me upfront be prepared that this was going to take a couple of months so he could file motions. after about two months i plead guilty to violation of disorderly conduct $300 fine and kept my license . thanks again john

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.
