Best lawyer in Greeneville

I have hired Joseph on multiple occasions for criminal and civil cases. Joseph always stayed in touch with me pertaining to my case. I would highly recommend Joseph to any one who wants a lawyer who will do everything he can for you. The staff at mcafee & McAfee are a wonderful group of people.

Worst lawyer ever

I did not state i hired mr.mcafee. I had to pick hired or consulted below but he was hired through the courts. I clearly stated we had him as a lawyer. Mr. Mcafee was court appointed I never said we hired him. I also never said I was his client, I said we in which he was the lawyer for my son. I sai...d we because I have power of attorney and I can speak on my sons behalf. I was also threatened and or told I had to take my prior post by 5pm Dec 23rd or mc afees office was going after me legally for voicing my freedom of speech and what we (my son, husband, and I) have encountered is what my post was pertaining to. I don't expect mr.mcafee to agree with my review thats how I feel about him as a lawyer.

Worst lawyer ever

We had mcafee as a lawyer he was the worst. He won't return your calls unless you call enough, he will say and do what he wants in your case not what you request. He will lie to you. He is very dishonest, rude and uncaring. He just wants a case over quickly no matter who it hurts. He should be worki...ng for the state not honest people. I would give him a bunch of zeros if I could. Hands down the worst.

This person has never been and never will be a client of mine or anyone else at our firm. The content of this review is untruthful. A related review was submitted to google but this review is particularly egregious in that it specifically and falsely claims that this person hired me. However, I appreciate this review for what it is: evidence that the numerous 5 star reviews of the firm and myself posted here, and on other websites, are authentic thanks to our wonderful clients.

Excellent

Joseph was hired for a criminal case for my son. He was professional and explained each step of the process. We told him what we would like to have as an outcome and he delivered. I would highly recommend his services seeking legal counsel.

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.
