Cody McCaughan Esq. Excellent attorney

Integrity, honesty, & efficacy

My wife and I reached out to Cody after finding him on Avvo. He was the first lawyer to actually speak with us same day. The other lawyers took days to respond and some didn't even bother. Asides from that, the ones we did speak to came off arrogant and not very relatable. We were in the process of buying our first home and wanted to make sure we had an experienced attorney we could count on and trust. Cody exceeded all our expectations and managed to break the typical stereotypes of lawyers. Cody was incredibly responsive, very aware of the complexities of real estate law, and very kind. Never once did we feel taken advantage of. With Cody's eagle eye, lightening speed, and attention to detail, we were able to navigate and circumvent a complicated deal that could have fallen apart at any moment. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Cody and our business.

Eviction Notice

I was very pleased when hired Mr. McCaughan. He was very experienced and he readily available to help you. Even if he was in court, he would still keep contact with you by text. He proficient, professional, and he handled my case with very exceptional. I had an eviction notice on me. As well as as a law suit for damages to the apartment i was dwelling. He was able to resolve both cases in a matter of a short a period of time. Which, i thought was impressive, considering i had hired another attorney before but had to fire him in order to hire Mr. McCaughan. And that was a blessing! My case was resolved completely and im happy for it. Thanks to Mr. McCaughan.
