They make sure YOU & your potential case are a fit, they take it seriously.

For context, my background is digital healthcare. I was being strong armed by an employer to sign a separation agreement within 48 hours of a termination in order to receive a severance package. That being said, I was only at this corporate role for 3 weeks, and certain issues didn't add up of why th...ey were letting me go. Google search after Google search just kept getting me law firms that treated me as a sales lead. The kind of places that "Can't give consults without taking all of my info so that a paralegal's assistant could call me back", or "Don't do free consults" and still want your call back info, I lucked out and found James McCabe. Not only was he and his team super responsive and attentive, they vetted me for HOURS ahead of taking my case, which I did appreciate, because that showed that I wasn't just a "sales lead", and that if they get some cash; great, and if not, oh well. They are not those guys. They made it very clear after a few phone calls that not only did we have a case, but we would win it. They were also very clear and upfront on timelines and ensuring/making sure that I didn't have false pretenses of when/how/etc, this would be resolved. Some may not like this, but you can only move as fast as the opposing party and the law will permit. Jim and his team could've reached a settlement for a much larger amount (though the amount settled was by no means small) if the my timeline permitted, but I simply had personal/work obligations that wouldn't allow it. We did settle/win, and very quickly. If you want a legitimate law-firm that will never put an infomercial on day time television, or have their staff do the work so that they never have to speak with you, I'd go with The McCabe Law Firm all day. Top shelf these gentleman are.

A great advocate and counselor

My family and I would like to thank Jim McCabe for his excellent counsel during a very difficult period in my career. It took me a little over two months to decide whether or not to seek legal counsel. The circumstances were sensitive and disheartening at best but after our first conversation, Jim ga...ve me the confidence and security I needed to move forward with my case. He was an incredible advocate and great listener providing me real-time feedback and solutions. He was insightful and my champion, maneuvering through legal processes and procedures that ultimately worked out in my/ family's favor.

Excellent Service and Results

Attorney McCabe was retained to represent me in an age discrimination case. He was clear in explaining the process and thorough in keeping me informed throughout the mediation steps. I can not imagine having a more professional and skilled attorney to handle my case. The successful results are due... to his ability to honestly and patiently articulate the issues as well as his knowledge and experience working with large companies. I would gladly recommend Attorney McCabe to anyone needing his services.

Very pleased!

I happened to find Mr. McCabe from a generic google search, but I was very pleased with his expertise and knowledge throughout my case. Jim was very upfront with me prior to taking my case, and communicated with me every step of the way. We settled a month later, and I would recommend his services to... anyone.

USERRA violation ( Dimeon B )

James McCabe is an outstanding lawyer. I was recently illegally terminated from my previous employer for missing work due to Military Orders. I got ahold of mr McCabe and together we were able to come out with a great settlement and I’m on to better things! I recommend his law firm to anybody!

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.
