The worst lawyer ever met…. He not only didn’t do what he was supposed to do, he didn’t even show up. He never replies and take the call in a timely manner after taking the money…..first time i am writing a review because he is so bad….. I lost my divorce case and still waiting for him to finish what... he was supposed to do.

Hire John McDermott. Would I recommend him? Yes. I would. I have. I would do again. I would not have recommend him or recommend him again unless I believed that John would be a good choice. He works for you and will fight for you . He has integrity. He understands how important your case is t...o you. He knows the law or is humble enough to know if he needs to consult. He knows the family courts. He has your best interest at heart. Because he is a solo-practitioner, he listens but he may not be able to respond as quickly and as often as he would like.

He took my money and ghosted me. Him not knowing I would show up to court via Zoom. He arrived in person to court, and I cringed as I heard him say, he has not had any contact taxt with me. I had been trying to contact him the whole while. I lost my case to child custody. Paid him additional money f...or battle with back child support lost that case too. Don't Hire this guy.

John only responds until you pay. After he takes your payment he ghost you and will not answer phone calls or text. You literally have to go his office and hope to catch him there. He's old and needs to retire. He's not stable in mind to fight in court. I hired the guy to do a simple agreed divorce... between my ex wife and I. I get a terrible phone call from John acting like I need to come in his office immediately for my divorce case during my birthday trip to Hawaii. He said it was very bad and I was getting sued. Talk about ruining a good trip. I returned back to Houston and arrived at his office only to find out John had me divorcing the wrong woman I never heard of. So my case was never filed that I've paid months prior. like I say I had no clue because you don't hear from him once you hire him. I also hired him during the same time to handle a custody dispute in which I paid him an additional $2,500 to represent me and he did not show to court . I called for months to consult with him about the case, sent messages 2 weeks before, the week of, day prior and no response. I had to stay up 2 night prior and read and organize anything I had to represent myself. I saw John on the elevator the morning of my case and told him we are due in court at 9 for docket call and ask him why he ghost me and ignored my calls and messages, he then speed off and said he didn't even know who I was. I followed him anyway and showed him where he was on docket call representing me and he even pulled it up on his device. He then tells me to go answer docket call and still never showed up. You all that's reading this have to believe me and the other reviews where reviews can be read. We all have the same complaints. You will be disappointed. PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND HIRE SOMEONE ELSE.
