Excellent

Chris was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I did not have very much knowledge of the court system or criminal defense. Chris did his best to explain what was going on, the different ways the case could go, and always kept me up to date. In the end, more than 10 felonies charges wer...e dismissed. I could not have asked for better representation in court.

Updated Review

I originally left Chris a very poor review for multiple reasons. Mainly, the lack of communication after my judgment was delivered. I had to call repeatedly for multiple weeks to get documentation that I was promised. I got a call from him, directly, the day after I reviewed his firm. He asked what h...e could do to make it right with me. The only thing I wanted was the documentation that he promised me during his representation of me. Chris delivered later that day. Not only did he deliver on what he said he would do, he also went above and beyond and offered me an additional service for later, should I need it. For those reasons, I am changing my review from one star to four. Chris McCartan laid my options out clearly and let me know what I was up against during his representation of me. I was confident in Chris to handle my case to the best of his ability. Albeit expensive, he helped me receive a favorable outcome. I will refer people to Chris in the future and recommend him for legal defense in Concord, NC.

THE BEST LAWYER IN NORTH CAROLINA

I been dreading going to court for almost 2 years, and today Attorney Chris Mccartan did an amazing job representing me. I have hired Attorney Mccartan on previous speeding ticket and each time he made sure that everything worked out in my favor. I am extremely grateful for this man. He goes above an...d beyond his duty to make sure he gets the best results for his clients. I was facing a Felony charge and just trusting Attorney Mccartan was the best thing i could've done when I was at my lowest moment. He promised me everything would be ok. I was so nervous and scared because i don't get into serious trouble but just knowing that Attorney Mccartan was representing me calmed my nerves more than I can describe. Although i made a one simple mistake if it wasn't for attorney Mccartan I would be paying for that mistake for the rest of my life. He is the best Lawyer around he knows what he's doing all you have to do is just trust him. Amazing representation HE IS THE BEST LAWYER IN NORTH CAROLINA. TRUST MCCARTAN FIRST.

Your best defense is Mr McCartan!

Mr. McCartan is a phenomenal defense attorney who fought long and hard on my case that went on for over three years! There was nothing he was not prepared for and in the end because of his knowledge of the law my case was dismissed! I would recommend Mr. McCartan to anyone who is in need of a dedicat...ed, loyal, and HIGHLY intelligent defense attorney. Mr McCartan knows the ins and outs of the law. I took great comfort in an extremely stressful situation knowing Mr. McCartan was on my side! When you need a defense attorney to truly have your back Mr. McCartan is the best man for the job. I was very impressed with his knowledge and how professional he was thru out the entire process. If I ever need legal advice or anything at all regarding an attorney Mr. McCartan will be the one I turn to and trust whole heartedly! I cannot thank him enough for the amazing job he did and because of him I have my life back!

Lifesaver!

After being charged with a DUI I completely panicked as I had never had previous contact with the criminal court system. I had no idea what to do or what was going to happen. So at the advice of my family law attorney I contacted Mr. McCartan; from the first conversation, I knew he was someone with... whom I wanted to work. Mr. McCartan treats his clients with respect and makes the process as painless as possible. For me, this meant taking the time to explain the most likely outcomes and alleviating my biggest concerns. At trial, Mr. McCartan identified irregularities with my stop, leveraged his extensive background and knowledge, and eloquently argued to have the case dismissed. If you find yourself in any kind of trouble, you would be doing yourself a HUGE favor by calling Mr. McCartan and letting him represent you. I am so glad I did.
