Assistance with landlord dispute

Mr. McCauley assisted us with recovering the security deposit from a former landlord. He met with us on several occasions to review and discuss our specific case. On the trial date, he went to court to represent us. While we did not recover the entire amount of the security deposit, the judge ruled i...n our favor to receive some of the requested amount back. Tthis judgement was not a result of Mr. McCauley's efforts and ability. He presented our case fully and was very professional throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of settling landlord/tenant matters.

"I consulted with Ken on a potential case involving slander and harassment on the internet. Ken's expertise was invaluable, as was his general approachability and forthcoming responses. I've known Ken as an attorney and a friend, and I could not give a higher endorsement."

"I endorse this lawyer. Ken is a bold young attorney in the Albany area. Mr. McCauley has successfully started his own law firm of McCauley and Shollenberger. He practices in several areas of the law and represents his clients interests at an extremely high level. I would turn to Mr. McCauley for legal representation, knowing that my case would be getting the personal attention that it needed as well as zealous advocacy on the issues it faced."

"Attorney McCauley exemplifies the very best attributes of an active attorney and a level of professionalism we should all aspire to. Honesty, dedication and a love of the law which means. giving back to others who lack our understanding of the law. The thousands years of combined legal experience of professionals activity participating in forum represent some of the very best of our profession, which is after all, at its base is desire to those in need. This Attorney’s experience allows to obtain excellent results for his clients. Most importantly, this Attorney is willing to help complete strangers (as is the case in this forum) with legal problem for which we may have some helpful information and thereby demystify the legal process as much as possible. I would recommend this Attorney without any hesitation for all practice areas listed."

"There are very few people with not only the level of drive and work ethic that Ken possesses, but also the knowledge and skills set to back up those attributes. Ken, I believe, provides what is growing more and more difficult to find in the field these days: a personal, hands-on approach to each and every need of the client. Having known Ken for the past 4 years, I can say with confidence that no matter how big or small the problem, he will dedicate himself completely to finding a creative, tailored, and thoughtful solution, all the while making sure the client's input is as much a part of the solution as his own. If what you are looking for in an attorney is someone who will not only work for you, but with you, then I suggest that you keep Mr. McCauley's number close at hand."

Relationship: Friend

"Ken's tenacity when taking on a project is unrivaled. I have personally known him to spend hours, days, and even weeks examining every angle of an argument, and ultimately presenting a sound, well thought out, and most importantly, persuasive case. More than delivering the right answer, however, Ken is a great communicator. The ability to speak to people unfamiliar with the law, whether they are clients who want to understand their rights or a jury deciding a case, and effectively have those people comprehend, relate, and sympathize is a crucial component of top-quality legal practice. Ken has this ability in spades."
