Very Incompetent-overinflated Ego

This Lawfirm was a waste of crucial time and money! Our legal issues only worsened and have been VERY difficult paying more experienced firms to resolve due to their errors! We wish they were honest and referred us for a more educated & experienced lawyer. Now our situation has become a seriously b...ad situation directly from the mistakes caused by this person! This is anonymous from fear of erratic people’s retribution by their history!

Extremely Personable, Great Results

I hired John McGuire when I was injured in a car accident in 2017. He worked diligently on my case and negotiated a very fair settlement which helped cover my medical bills and lost wages. I like how I was actually able to meet with him instead of never seeing his face and only dealing with the offic...e staff. He is extremely personable and humble. Overall he is a wonderful aggressive attorney who cares about his clients.

Great Attorney

I hired John to handle a few legal issues I have had in the past and Mr McGuire has always been upfront and honest about my cases and extremely helpful. I Would absolutely recommend John McGuire Law Offices to people needing full service Legal Help.

Criminla Defense Representation

I retained Attorney McGuire in November of 2017 when I had been erroneously charged with a felony. McGuire assured me that he was expert at and has a great reputation in criminal defense. After several weeks it was clear to me that McGuire was not a criminal defense attorney. I terminated our busi...ness relationship and retained alternate representation. I've been found not guilty in a jury trial. McGuire was trying to coerce me into making a deal with the prosecutors office during the weeks he was my attorney. I am glad that I hired alternate representation. I am still working to obtain a refund on the $10k retainer McGuire charged me for criminal defense representation that he was unable to provide on my case.

Great Lawyer and have recomended McGuire law 50 times

I used John's firm when my wife had made a false arrest on me for domestic violence and there is nothing worse than being labeled a wife beater and again for my divorce from same wife and was worried that it would be an ugly battle but that was not the case at all not only did he get my DV charges dr...opped my divorce was as easy as meeting the Judge in chambers and requesting a divorce from this woman. Very neat and clean and I got to keep my house! Love John McGuire and recomended his firm at least 50 times. I am gonna use him again in a family estate situation this month.

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.
