Great communication
This firm kept in constant contact with me throughout the entire process. They seemed to work quickly on getting documents filed as well as quickly having documents delivered to other party. Would definitely use again.

Professional support
Michael McGinn and Howard Ellzy were the best. I’ve never used a lawyer service before and I always believed in the stereotype of how lawyers are, “ambulance chasers”. But, they were nothing I expected. From day one I was treated with respect and professionalism and it continued throughout my 2 1/2 year long fight. I can’t thank them enough for the help.

Very exhausting paternity matter
Michael was extremely diligent with my fiancé’s case. Hiring an attorney to handle our matter was something we procrastinated on due to not knowing what to expect. We were referred to him through a friend who had previously used his services & Who was more than satisfied with his experience. Michael & his wonderful paralegal, Monika, started our case and carried it out with nothing but transparency & integrity. Less than a year later our case has been concluded & we are more than pleased with the Outcome & experience.

He did a great job. My case was dismissed. Was available for any & all questions. My written evidence was lost or misplaced, you will need to keep a copy of all your records, but other than that. Good job.

Fantastic Family Law Attorney
Mike was my attorney in a case regarding my children being able to move schools. Mike was always professional, caring, honest, and dependable. Mike gives you the truth and truly cares about his clients. Mike truly is an excellent attorney that I trust and would definitely hire again.

You cannot go wrong when hiring, Mike
Mike McGinn was my attorney on a previous case and he and his staff were top notch in handling my case. Ay issues that I had were handled quickly and efficiently, and Mike and his office were always available when I had questions. After searching for an attorney for over a week I finally came across Mike and knew right away I had a strong knowledgable advocate for me. Thank you so much Mike!

Best Decision I made was to hire Mike
I hired Mike for my divorce. From our first meeting to the end he kept me informed as to what was going on. He made a really stressful time in my life go smoothly and we were able to settle the case with a great result. I would HIGHLY recommend Mike to anyone needing a great family lawyer.

Highly Recommend this Attorney!
Michael was hired to complete a divorce and child custody case, which was highly complicated and full of contention by the other party. Michael was compassionate and understanding from the very beginning. He and Monika were always available and provided advice that allowed for this extremely stressful situation to be easier to handle. Michael and Monika were helpful for each step of the way and never gave up on getting my family the results we needed. In the end, with Michael's expertise, the results were positive and my family is now able to move on from what could have been a disaster situation. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing an experienced, helpful, and compassionate attorney. A++

He made our family whole!
We have been dealing with a nasty custody battle for the past 4 years. We came to Mr. Mcginn as a last resort because we were not getting anywhere with the child's mother. When we came to Mr. McGinn he sat down with us and allowed us to tell him our situation, he asked tons of questions and in the end of the conversation asked us what we would like to get out of our case. My boyfriend was requesting every other weekend Mr. Mcginn made us aware that we were entitled to 50-50 custody and regardless of what anyone had told us in the past that if that was what we wanted that is what he would fight for. The ease at which we went through the case was amazing and even after receiving our initial custody arrangement he assisted us through her mother attempting to make us lose the custody we fought so hard to get. Every time you spoke to those who did it with dignity and respect. He is not one of those condescending lawyers he truly wants to help. I will recommend him to anyone that asked me I have already made over 20 recommendations and will continue to as long as he is practicing. Like my title stated 2 years later our family is whole and we have him to thank for that.

Excellent Attorney!!
Mike McGinn & his Legal Assistant, Monika, were a blessing to work with! I hired Mike for a child support case & was very pleased with the outcome - far more than I expected! I would DEFINITELY recommend Mike to anyone seeking legal representation. He & Monika turned a very stressful situation into a process of security & ease and I couldn't be any happier with the outcome...

Amazing Attorney!!
My case was very long and complex. Michael and Monika were there for me the entire way. Their advice and guidance through this extremely stressful and difficult time was more valuable than I could ever put into words.
Always looking out for my child through every decision we had to make, Michael stood strong and I ended up getting what I wanted. Monika and Michael are THE BEST at what they do!
I cannot recommend them enough!

Mr McGinn is an amazing attorney. He really cares about his clients and spents a lot of time gathering information and doing everything he can to get you exactly what you want and need. He is very good at keeping you informed and making sure you understand the process of the law suit. I will definitely use him again in the near future.

Peace of Mind
Even though divorce is one of the worst experiences possible, Michael gave me a peace of mind that everything was going to turn out ok. Michael was patient and listened to me. He was the advocate that I needed when I Neede it the most and I will be forever grateful to him.

Excellent Service
I have had several situations that required the services of Mike McGinn. I have found him to be responsive, supportive, and thorough in each instance and will not hesitate to use him again in the future. His attention to detail, timely action and knowledge of the law all contributed to a satisfactory ending to a difficult situation. There was never a moment when I did not believe Mike was my lawyer acting on my behalf and in my best interests.

Nothing short of AMAZING!
Mr. Mcginn is AWESOME! There is no other way to describe him. I was referred to him from a mutual friend and at first (being the control freak that I am) was very skeptical about handing over the such a huge "responsibility" to someone I did not know but was continuously reminded many times by his awesome paralegal, Monika (who calmed my nerves on multiple occasions) to "trust my lawyer". Mike is a great listener and I was surprised on many occasions at the things he'd remember about my case after only briefly speaking about it. This process was all extremely new to me and as the majority of us I had no idea what I was doing. Mike and Monika were both so calm, professional and patient with me. They both responded to all emails and questions within a timely fashion (and I had quite a few million of them). Mike even responded after office hours. Mike and Monika both worked so hard on my case and in the end I trusted my lawyer and the outcome was more than I ever thought it'd be! I'd recommend Mr. Mcginn everyday, all day without hesitation! :)
