Wonderful lawyer

Mary Catherine was pleasant and on point from when I met & hired her for my son. She keep me posted by phone and or text on my son case for time credit he didn't receive. I would highly recommand using her.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Mary to help resolve an incident for my daughter and she could not have been more professional, attentive, responsive and courteous in handling the situation. Her expertise in her field makes her outstanding and I would recommend her highly to anyone who is in need.

Realistic and Professional

I went to Mary when I was in need of guidance. She went above and beyond my expectations. My friend and I pulled over to help an elderly woman with a large Handicap sticker on the bumper get unstuck from the shoulder of a country-ish road in which there was too much snow. We pulled our car over a...nd as we were getting out, a gentlemen rear-ended us saying he didnt even see us as he was looking at the handicapped elderly lady on the side of the road. We had multiple cars pull over and say they saw the whole thing, gave us their contact info in case we needed witnesses. They all professed that they were amazed to see that regular people are still willing to help a total stranger on a cold and snowy day in January. My acquaintance had a history of bad decisions, so the Rangers went fishing in his vehicle. Even though we were the ones that had a parked car that was hit by another gentlemen, they still tried to get us in trouble. She explained the situation we were in and informed me what she expected to happen. I never would have guessed that she was fresh out of school years ago when my situation occurred. She put me in touch with a colleague of hers just in case she wasn't available on a certain day so I would have someone to turn to. My case was resolved, and the charges were knocked down. Her professionalism was outstanding. The one thing I was most impressed with was her consistent follow-up. If I needed her, she responded right away. After speaking with Mary Catherine, I no longer felt like I was alone in dealing with this. She went to bat for me and hit a home run. When it doubt, Corrigan-Law it Out!

"Ms. O'Neill and I had the pleasure of attending law school together and served on the same law journal. Throughout our tenure at the Columbus School of Law, Ms. O'Neill strived to become a zealous advocate, particularly in the area of criminal defense, and successfully did so in practice. I would endorse her without hesitation because no one will work harder on your case."

"I have known Ms. O'Neill for a long time, and her work ethic has always been impressive. We studied together for the Ohio Bar exam, and she consistently wowed me with her preparation and dedication to her studies. Now, after the exam, I have seen how she has applied this work ethic to her new practice, and would recommend her to anyone seeking a high-energy, thoughtful, and skilled trial lawyer. She would most certainly be my first call if I were in an unfortunate situation and needed legal counsel!"

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.
