Exceptional, Experienced and Dedicated

Mr. McCormick and his entire team were amazing! They assisted me in a legal matter concerning a business dispute. Mr. McCormick is highly experience, ethical, dedicated, and was prepared to fight my legal matter in court if necessary. I thank the entire team for believing in me and would highly reco...mmend them to anyone!!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very responsive. Thorough, excellent consult

Our past experience with lawyers hasn't always been pleasant - they were difficult to reach, didn't seem to care much, missed things, and charged high fees. This is our first experience with Avvo....and we had a lawyer quickly respond but then disappear. However, with John and his staff, communi...cation was fast, clear and straightforward - which was appreciated as we had only a few days to look over paperwork regarding a real estate investment. John had looked it over before our consultation, and he was extremely helpful, informative and knowledgeable in his phone meeting with us. In addition, he was personable and patient - listening to and answering our many questions and also explaining things in a professional but easy to understand manner. Our experience with John was the exact opposite of our past unpleasant attorneys and we are so glad to have worked with him. Highly recommend!

Business Dispute Settlement

John’s excellent handling of our dispute with the party that purchased our family business and then defaulted on their payments, allowed a settlement to be reached without having to file a lengthy and costly lawsuit

Worry free service

John was amazing. He helped to resolve our issues quickly, within the retainment fee, and made sure I didn't have to worry about the issue. He explained what I didn't understand and was clear in what his plans were with contacting other parties and what would be best in my case. He alleviated any fea...rs or worries I had an allowed me to go on with my days without having this issue on my mind.

  • 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.
