Posted by anonymous | December 29, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I highly recommend John

This summer I showed up to pre trial without a lawyer and lost temporary custody of my child. After months of searching for an affordable lawyer my boyfriend found John. His rate was at least $1000 lower than any other attorney I contacted. Throughout trial John was very professionally and he fought ...hard for me to regain custody of my son and we won!!! If you're have legal family issues John McDermott is your guy!

Good lawyer

Mr. McDermott is VERY reasonable in his pricing and did a good job. I have had lawyers who charged a lot more and did a lot less.

GOOD EXPERIENCE

He filed the paperwork on time, Emailed me copies, stayed in touch, got me a good settlement and the divorce I needed. I am very pleased with his work, his integrity, and his fee. No complaint at all. Good lawyer.

Good Lawyer

I am a young mother with a small child. My husband abused me and threw me out of our house. I had no money and no help from anyone, so I was sure my husband was going to get custody of our three-year-old. I found Mr. McDermott in the Greensheet and he was very nice and reasonable about a payment plan.... I ended up getting custody of my three-year-old, good child support and my husband had to pay me 60% of his savings account.

HELL OF A GREAT JOB

I hired John Mcdermott to get me out of a hell of a bad marriage that was going from bad to disaster. Wife drank, did drugs, and cheated on me and abused our son Pepe. The Ex, and yes she is an Ex now, was a brilliant maniputor and capable of telling the most outrageous lies that twisted every innoce...nt event to appear sinister and equally manipulated her insane behavior to appear innocent. My first lawyer's only progress in this case was to suck the financial life out of me while not progressing the case one wit. A colleage suggested I get rid of the lawyer I had and replace him with one that knew the meaning of the word jugular. Fortunately, I found John McDermott. The man saved my butt and my child's life to boot. You want a tiger for a lawyer, you get John. The man took copius notes, asked a lot of incisive question, and at the end of the three hour session, just smiled. Less than three months after retaining Mr. McDermott, I was DIVORCED, with custody of my child. Thank you, John. Good Job!
