Excellent Attorney

My wife and I went to Mr. McCarty to update our wills and some other documents, and we had a great experience. He was very professional in his responses, and he always took the time to ensure we understood what was being covered. Our phone and email correspondence was always answered promptly, and ou...r in-person visit to formally sign papers was quite efficient. He also provided guidance on some additional recommended documents without high-pressure over-selling, and his fees were very reasonable. You can tell he really cares about his clients' well-being, and we've already recommended his services to several friends.

Informed estate planning

I engaged Mr. McCarty for estate planning and document preparation. He was very knowledgeable and provided insights based on his years of experience, which helped me to make more well-informed decisions. He kept me apprised of status and next steps at all times, and was also up-front on costs, which ...was much appreciated. Mr. McCarty was always easy to reach and responsive. I was very impressed throughout this process and will reach out to him the next time I am in need of a lawyer.

Posted by Michael | April 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Best Family Law Attorney in the Greater Houston Area!

The benefits I received from his many years of experience in managing unsavory divorces, financial & property disputes, and child possession orders was tremendous. I hired Attorney McCarty to handle my divorce, but most importantly manage the custody battle for my two precious young children at th...e time of the separation. Just the thought of being forced to be a “Weekend Dad” was overwhelming and devastating to me. I want to thank Attorney McCarty for everything that he did for me and my Children. It is a debt far more than money, that I could never fully repay. When the dust had settled, and the decree had been signed, I fully realized at that time, that Attorney McCarty (1) always had a strategy specific for me situation (2) was always one step ahead of the opposing counsel and (3) was continuously working that strategy on my behalf, even when I could not see it. The net result was an extremely favorable possession schedule with my children, which was most important. Moreover, Attorney McCarty also strategically negotiated the division of assets to the point that it fully covered all my Attorney fees. Any attorney can handle documentation from Request for Production to final Decree, but Attorney McCarty brings so much more to table for his Clients. Thank you again for everything Attorney McCarty!

Posted by Sean | January 07, 2014 | Child Custody

Completely ineffective, hard to contact, screwed up papers - Be warned of this attorney!

I retained him for my child custody case, and he decided (after judge's questioning of his actions) that it was in MY best interest for him to write temporary orders instead of permanent orders when the mother of my child and I agreed on terms. He would naturally for more retainer when finalization ...time came. In writing the temporary orders he wrote terms differently than what was agreed upon, ensuring work was needed when time to finalize came to fruition. Fast forward to time to finalize my orders, I reluctantly decided to let him finish it out, as there was retainer left. I am now sitting here 14 months later, and my case has not moved forward one step. Mr. McCarty has done absolutely nothing for me, other than to cause my family and me to be out over $5000 (for a grand total of over $8000 including his initial retainer for the temp orders). Mr. McCarty has been deceitful in his dealings with me, blaming others for his inability to move the case forward, even though I have seen proof contrary of his claims. He has been very difficult to contact. He rarely answers his phone, a good quarter of the time has a full voicemail box, and even still does not answer voicemails or emails. Finally, after over a year of being completely ineffective, Mr. McCarty was ready to set a mediation date for my case, and had told me a time and date to call him to set the mediation date. I ended up calling him a day early just to tell him that I didn't care what date he decided to pick for mediation the next day, as I was tired of waiting and would make any date work. Mr. McCarty had the nerve to tell me he could no longer do something as simple as looking at his calendar vs. potential mediation dates on the date and time he had already agreed to because he had, and I quote "more pressing matters." I threatened to fire him, and ended up doing so the next day after careful consideration. He then decided to fire a motion to withdraw as if he decided to withdraw on his own volition, rather than being fired for being a very very bad lawyer. I would not recommend Daniel E. McCarty Jr. to ANYONE. Let this serve as fair warning that he will not take your case and needs seriously, and will not have any sense of urgency when things are urgent.
