Doesn't fight for his client

Mr. McCarthy doesn't review or handle his cases with judicial care. He simply recommends plea deals or to accept ones fate, regardless of whether you happen to be innocent. More than 8 years have passed and I am still dealing with the ramifications of the work he did not do. I'm currently in the mist... of another legal fight to have all his mistakes corrected.

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.
