Gerard W. McNaught

I am still suffering from from the negligence of this firm. In order to close on my property, it was required that I put my payment for my federal income tax in escrow with Atty McNaught. When the check was dispersed, there was no identifying information about me on the check (my name or SSN). As a r...esult, the attorney's IRS account was credited with the payment instead of mine. When I called and spoke with the assistant who wrote the check, I was told that the firm completed their obligation of dispersing the check. It was not until four months and several hours on the phone with the IRS later that I was able to remedy this mistake, of course with late and failure to pay fees. However, this nightmare just got rekindled because I cannot renew my social work board license because of "tax issues" and must receive a letter of compliance from the IRS before this license can be renewed. "Thanks McNaught"

By far the most unprofessional attorney that I have ever had to deal with, and I have dealt with many of them. Messed up with the date and time of appointments - twice. Did not disclose critical issues pertaining to the property. Was absolutely of no help trying to resolve the lack of disclosure p...roblem.

I had gone out of my way to ensure that everything was ready and prepped for closing. This included contacting the attorney's office numerous times to verify they had everything they would need for closing. You could actually his paralegal's "blank stare" come across the telephone. Of course, clos...ing day arrives, and our closing falls through because they did not verify they had everything they needed in time! This was so frustrating, and I received very little in the way of help or care from the staff. It seemed that no one was all too surprised and this sort of mess happens regularly there. Once our closing was finally fixed and recorded, they didn't even bother to notify me. I had to call their office to verify things were squared away. I never interacted with McNaught at all, and that should tell you something. If he chooses to run his practice through paralegals who don't get the job done, then he deserves the rating he has received in this review.
