Great attorney!

Mr. McConathy helped my son in a serious legal matter. He was successful at getting the charges reduced and a smaller sentence as a result. I am thankful for his assistance in this difficult time. I am glad he took and our case and would use him again.......let's hope that never happens!

Don't waste your money....GO here 1st!

There is nothing I can write here to convey how grateful I am to the entire staff of this firm. From day one I was informed and was kept that way until my case was settled. To say a few words about my case that proves the value of hiring this firm. From the law firm..."We're going to do everything... we can for you, but the end decision is always yours" This was true from the beginning to the end of my case. Now for the proof are two statements I never thought I would hear. The Judge: "You are getting a really good deal here" This was verbatim the judge's words. My case worker: "Wow...I don't know how you got this done, but you are very lucky and should be grateful". I have and will continue to refer the Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy to anyone I can.

Choosing the right attorney is Crucial

When your future is at stake it is crucial to hire an attorney that will fight for you and that is exactly what Mr. McConathy did in my case. He represented me in a way that was exceptional, professional and & exemplified having a passion for making a wrong, right. I was facing a DWI and I had als...o refused a breathalyzer which required blood drawn. This is normally an automatic suspension with the DMV, but with the defense strategy and Mr. McConathy's representation, not only did the DMV judge not suspend my license but actually dismissed it! Next came the actual DWI criminal case that took 9 months. The prosecutor offered a plea that Mr. McConathy recommended that I did not take and we set for Jury Trial. At the hearing prior to the trial the Prosecutor agreed to Dismiss! This outcome only happened due to Mr. McConathy's dedication and hard work. I am forever grateful to Mr. McConathy's & his office & I Highly Recommend them!

I would recommend Richard McConathy!

The decision to hire Richard McConathy Law firm turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I had no idea that my case was going to last over two years but I am glad they are the ones who were with me throughout the entire process. Both of the attorneys, Richard McConathy and Brian Bolton, ...were extremely professional, knowledgeable, honest and straightforward throughout the entire process. I came up with several different lists of questions and they always made time for a meeting and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The entire staff was very professional and prompt, I was kept up to date through emails and anytime I needed to talk to someone whether on the phone or in person they always made it happen in a timely manner. I had a serious felony charge that could have resulted in a serious punishment, yet through their knowledge and persistence we were able to get the punishment reduced to a fraction of the potential sentence. I was very pleased with the ending result and the way I was treated throughout the entire time. I would highly recommend Richard McConathy Law Firm.
