Not a good lawyer

I’m not sure why he has all these positive reviews, he really just took my money and hides when you’re trying to reach him. I found that when we do talk I am advising him on what to do on my case. If you want more accurate reviews type Brad Mcfee in the Google search engine and read other reviews sim...ilar to mine.

Absolutely the best.

Once Mr MacFee, accepted my case and agreed on a retainer he went straight to work. I will say my case was a long and hard, almost 3 years long one. And even as long as it was and complex, he never went up on cost. Mr. MacFee is a nice person but at the same time he is a beast in a court room. ...He kept me informed the whole way. And he told me what was going to happen at each turn. If I ever need a lawyer or was able to refer someone it would be Bradley.. Mr MacFee is great in my opinion. James.

saved my family

On May 3, 2017 I called Brad MacFee and asked him to go and see my fiance, who at the time was incarcerated and awaiting trial on a 1st degree murder charge. Needless to say, the fact that he was facing such a serious charge and was incarcerated and away from us was causing a significant amount of st...ress to the family. Within a few days Brad went out and interviewed my fiance. He throughly reviewed the case using the information he had available to him at the time, which was essentially the police report and the information provided to him by his client. After the visit Brad called me, discussed with me what he had discussed during the visit and told me how much it would cost for him to handle the case. Under the circumstances I thought the fee was more than reasonable and I retained Brad to begin representation. According to the information Brad obtained, there were 2 people that claimed to be eyewitnesses to the murder. With that, Brad focused on locating those people and investigating their version of event and their credibility. In the weeks leading up to the trial, it became clear that one of the witnesses was missing and would not be found. That left a single remaining eyewitness on whom the state would have to rely to obtain a conviction. Brad located this person and met with him and his family, interviewing all of them thoroughly. As it turned out, this witness, who had previously identified my fiance in a photo lineup, claimed that he had been coerced into making that identification. He also denied even seeing the crime, but claimed that he had been arrested on a drug charge, and had been told by the police that if he cooperated with them and made the necessary identification, there would be no charges filed against him related to the drug case. On the morning trial was set to begin, the eyewitness signed an affidavit swearing to the information he had previously provided. Naturally, this fact created a major problem for the state, whose sole eyewitness had now claimed under oath that his entire involvement in the case was a sham. I assume this fact ultimately payed into the decision of the state to dismiss the charges against my fiance, thereby eliminating even the possibility that he could be convicted in this case. At the en of the day, the point is that not just anyone is capable of handling a case this serious. You need a lawyer that is willing to get out into the street and get his hands dirty in an effort to obtain every possible advantage for his client. In Baltimore City, where the murder rate is at an all-time high, prosecutors are under tremendous pressure to bring these cases to trial and win convictions. They simply do not drop these cases like they were speeding tickets. It was only because Brad was willing to go out and do what needed to be done that the state reluctantly made the decision to dismiss the charges. That said, I am very, very glad we made the decision to bring Brad MacFee in to handle this case for us, and if you ever find yourself in a similar position, I would strongly encourage you to at east talk with him before making the critical decision regarding who will represent you or your loved one.

saved my life

i was charged with a 1st degree murder related to a shooting that occurred on the west side back in 2009. brad investigated the case thoroughly, but when the case came up for trial he was facing one of the city's top homicide prosecutors who was armed with eyewitness testimony. brad was not only able... to shred the eyewitness, but was able to show that, until he falsely identified me as the killer, the detectives believed that he was the shooter, and that he probably was. despite brad's amazing work, i found myself about to pass out as the jury announced their verdict. i was shaking, and when i heard them say "not guilty." i didn't believe i had been acquitted and would be, after nearly 2 years of waiting, going home to my family. all i can say is that brad macfee saved my life, and if you ever find yourself in trouble, you would be smart to consider hiring him.

amazing work

in january of 2015, my girlfriend told the police that i raped her. after what i believed was a completely inadequate investigation, the police charged me with 1st degree rape, which carries life in prison as a maximum sentence. i was locked up and could not get a bail. as a result, i lost my job and... my car, not to mention a year of my life while i awaited trial. i knew i was in serious trouble and would need a good lawyer to help me. a good friend suggested that i consider hiring brad macfee as he had achieved good results with him in the past. i met brad and he told me on day 1 that rape cases are particularly tough, and that the jury often feels sympathy for the "victim." needless to say, i was terrified of how the case might play out. brad prepared for the trial, and when the case finally got to court, his effort paid off. he was able to make some technical moves that helped me, but his best work was done during cross-examination of the victim and the detective, both of whom were exposed. he also encouraged me, and prepared me to testify, which he said he rarely does, bit that needed to happen in this case. finally, he delivered a spectacular closing argument that really drove home the points he made during the trial. the jury deliberated for about 5 hours over 3 days before reaching a verdict. i have never been so scared as i was in the seconds before the foreman announced the i was not guilty of all charges. ill admit that i broke down and cried like a baby, as did my family that was sitting in the room. ill never forget it, and ill never forget the work that brad macfee did to save me from a certain life sentence. if you need a lawyer, do yourself a favor and talk to brad before you make your decision. not all cases can be won but if he cant win your case, no one can.
