This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Wonderful and caring attorney

Mr. McCarthy assisted my family with the administration of my mother’s estate. My parents passed within a few months of one another, and the estate was overwhelming to my family. We hired Mr. McCarthy to guide us through the estate process and we are very glad we did!

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.
