This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Paternity suit

I hired Mr. McIntosh for my child's paternity/custody case he stated he was fully prepared and capable of handling my case however when the court date arrived he was completely unprepared! We completely lost our case. He is very slow to respond to client calls or emails also. I think he has too many ...clients and doesn't have the time or energy to give each case the care it deserves. I would not recommend him as a lawyer unless you want to waste a ton of money and lose your case after paying all that money.

highly recommend

He took my brothers case at last moment. He dominated and had the ex parte against my brother thrown out. He did an amazing job with only a few hours to prep before going to court.. Highly recommend him..

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.
