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.

Couldn't have asked for better

Like I said in the title I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to have represent me on my cases Mr. McCartan got me the best deal possible and actually fought for me infront of the D.A. and judge and it was never about money to Mr. McCartan either all he cared about was helping his clients if you...'re backed up into a corner with no way to go and you need an attorney look no further than Mr. McCartan you will not be disappointed with his services

Meh

Although he did as much as he could do, based on my assessment, I would not recommend going with Chris because his services are over priced and I did not feel well informed. If you get a DUI your best bet is to get the absolute cheapest lawyer you can or look up the paper work to get your limited dr...iving privilege and such yourself. I am dealing with the DUI I received 7 years after the fact because I was ill informed about how to completely serve my punishment. I was given enough counsel to keep me out of jail, but, now I find myself with a restricted license because I wasn't told that I had to initiate the time served for which I can only have a BAC of .04. Get the cheapest lawyer you can get that will help you get a limited driving privilege for the first year and help get you set up with the required AA classes. It is a good idea to have a lawyer if you have never been to court before because the courts do not have your best interests in mind and herd you through the process like cattle going to slaughter. In hindsight, I could have gotten the same service for 100 bucks if I had waited on the letters to roll in from cheaper alternatives. If you have an extra couple grand to blow then by all means, go for it. Just remember, there is no defense for DUI. You will be convicted, the best you can hope for is to be guided through the process of getting your full driving privileges back.

Strong, personable defense lawyer with great attention to detail

I was referred to Mr. McCartan by a friend and the referral turned out to be a blessing. My situation required an attorney who would listen to my side of the story and ALL the details that were relevant to my case. That's exactly what I received in Mr. McCartan. He seemed genuinely interested in my w...ell-being as a client and made me feel very comfortable from beginning to end. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. Obviously, I highly recommend him!
