COOL HEAD

Pat was the cool head that kept my upset head on an even keel during my divorce. Understood my financial situation and let me set my own payment plan to stay above water. Strongly recommend his services and will use him again if needed.

Very satisfied client

Patrick helped me with a traffic ticket I received in the metro Detroit area. I felt very confident using him because I knew he had worked these cases before and had prior success in lowering traffic charges. He was very professional and honest and I would highly recommend him. It's hard these day...s to find lawyers who are actually looking out for your interests and at a reasonsble price.

McCarthy Review

He did an excellent job organizing my case in order to ensure it's success. However more communication would have been necessary as far as how much money it was going to be. I knew I would be charged more, but was surprised at the exorbitant amount it was after the case was finalized. Luckily they pu...t me on a payment plan.

Thank you for taking the time to recommend me and to provide feedback. Although I do my best to communicate on matters of cost, circumstances at times necessitate additional work to ensure my clients receive the best possible representation. When situations become financially burdensome, I am certainly open to working out a payment plan.

Professional Honest Caring

Mr. McCarthy was awesome. Recomended by a marraige therapist as my life was crumbling, I went to him for direction and support during a very difficult time. His ability to calm and support me as well as legally protect my uncertain future was priceless. He will always be an atty. I respect and h...old dear. I hope no one ever feels the hurt of divorce but it's sad to say but it's a reality of our world and if you ever need professional, honest, and caring legal services Patrick is your man.

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.
