Thomas Scott McGrath

It is going to be difficult for me to find the words to express the level of heartfelt gratitude I have toward Mr. Thomas S. McGrath’s law firm. I am a single mother of 2 small children who was seeking to purchase a home and found herself being taken advantage of a Real Estate team out of Madison, Al...abama. They were in the process of trying to manipulate me into buying a home that they had not repaired as promised and time was running for me with my apartment lease. I had to make a decision to stay in my apartment or take a chance on a house that may never be repaired as promised. I knew I could never afford to take on the repairs they were trying to leave behind. I was receiving threats of being taken to court for not wanting to purchase this home and with their disregard for my situation could have very well lead to the kids and I being homeless. They did not care no matter how much I tried to explain my situation. Needless to say I was scared and was losing hope quickly. I decided it was time to seek legal advice. I was able to speak with a few lawyers in the area but I only got very “broad” answers if you will, which didn’t give me any comfort or direction. Luckily, Mr. McGrath was recommended to me and within a few days his team had me scheduled for a consultation. The day of the consultation, Mr. McGrath’s demeanor was unmatched and his genuine concern for the situation was overwhelming. He is very direct and will tell you the truth about the severity of the situation and the projected outcome based on facts presented. His efforts are 100% the entire time. I had been dealing with this situation for weeks on my own and I finally felt like I had solid support. Mr. McGrath has been practicing law for 27 years or more and is well versed in Real Estate, among other things which is very comforting also. He went the extra mile to ensure I was secure and understood the plan of action he had. His skill and attention to detail helped me retrieve the mutual release and earnest money I had deposited within a few days even after the real estate company had denied my request of release several times. Mr. McGrath projected how they would respond and always had a plan of action in place at all times. The kids and I lost our opportunity to purchase a home this year but I can guarantee you I will be confident next year knowing I can call Mr. McGrath if another agency tries to corner me into a bad buy again. He is extremely knowledgeable and has high moral standards. You will not find a better person to support your legal needs. I hope Real Estate teams who tend to lean toward unfair practices are well aware that there is a lawyer in the area who won’t allow it and is very capable of discerning good and bad real estate practice. I thank the McGrath Law Firm from the bottom of my heart and will be forever grateful!

I had a house build by a "so called" premier builder. What I thought was going to be my dream home turned into a nightmare. I was introduced to Mr. McGrath and all I can say is , he is my hero!! He is a caring, highly competent attorney that I will always be grateful to for fighting for me. I was gi...ven the run around until he took my case. When THEY hear his name , things start to happen!! Simply the best!!

I couldn't be happier with my case result from Tom and his team. I had a flooring issue that resulted in the Builder basically telling me to "kick rocks" and leave them alone. I then hired Tom and magically things started happening and the Builder (and Sub) started changing their tunes. The case was ...resolved to my satisfaction and I got a fair settlement and new flooring...a win/win if you ask me! I wouldn't recommend anyone other than Tom and his team for any and all Builder/Contractor related issues.

We hired Mr. McGrath when a degenerate contractor sued us for work they never did. Mr. McGrath was great to work with, he took the time to get all the facts and events, then laid out our defense strategy. He worked expeditiously and efficiently to minimize our out of pocket, while getting results. Mr.... McGrath stuck to the strategy laid out and after his first contact with the plaintiff's they offered a settlement. Unfortunately for the plaintiff's, the worked that they had done and were paid for wound up causing significant damage to our house days before they requested a settlement. Mr. McGrath made sure that the case would not get settled until after the dust had settled from our debacle. In the end we settled and we were the ones who received a check.
