Poor quality, Poor communication, Do not recommend for family law

Staff has a high turnover rate, making things difficult to get done. They take on more cases than they can handle. DO NOT recommend for Family Law, attorney admittedly stated that's not where their money comes from. This attorney went MIA resulting in my divorce being filed without my knowledge, with... glaring errors.

Posted by Robert | January 12, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Awesome Law Firm!

Thank you to McGrath Gibson Law for all the help with my Criminal issue. Mr. McGrath was very professional and manages an awesome group of attorneys and staff. Could not have had a better team on my side!!!

Posted by Brian | September 16, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Strong Advocate

I retained Mr. McGrath to represent me when I was involved in a car accident this past year. Mr. McGrath took the time to explain the entire claims process to me in laymen's terms. I felt like he genuinely cared about the impact the accident had on our family. I was very pleased with the professional... and compassionate way my case was handled. The settlement on my case exceeded my expectations and I know it was because Mr. McGrath was a strong advocate for me. I would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
