Fierce, patient and compassionate. I hired McCoy for divorce and Wills

I hired Ms. McCoy to handle my divorce from my ex. Me and my ex were not on the best of terms and it had the potential to get really ugly. But she was able to hammer out the details of our divorce without ever having to go to court. I worked with her via email and she was incredible. Ms. McCoy ev...en drafted my wills and health documents to make sure that my kids were protected in case something were to happen to me. I cannot recommend her enough. She is full-service!

She genuinely cares!

Aishah is a first rate lawyer. She is completely professional and explained all the options available to me. She was patient and courteous, always prompt with her responses. The best thing about her is that she genuinely cares about the well being of her clients and strives for a win-win outcome at a...ll times. I highly recommend her for any legal help you may need.

Excellent

I hired Ms.McCoy for a particularly sensitive family law case where there was a need to maintain delicate family relationships despite circumstances. Her professionalism and ability to navigate these circumstances was critical to successful negotiation. I have recommended several people to her and wi...ll continue to do so.

Strength and Sensitivity

In full disclosure (that sounds sorta legal already,) Aishah has been my friend for several years. When marriage of almost 16 years was beginning its descent, I called Aishah to get an idea of what my rights really would be should my ex and I decide to divorce. She gave me a lot if information that e...mpowered me and gave me the ability to really decide the course of action I'dtake. My ex and I have been friends a long time, and we wanted to try to find an attorney who could help us handle our split as much like a mediator as possible. So, over the year he and I informally separated, Aishah remained quietly helpful, answering questions for me as they came up. My ex ended up getting representation to do the filing for divorce, because it was important for his healing to be the person legally initiating the split. So he filed in September, but for some mess up in the clerk's office, I was served with papers a few days before Christmas. Aishah was nothing but calm and in charge and as it was a holiday, made sure I had a clear idea of any possible hurdles, as well as back up phone numbers in case I couldn't reach her. So even though it was nerve wracking to have a legal proceeding seem to start at a holiday, I felt completely covered. My ex and I have nearly come to all the terms of the divorce--which we want to do so there's no legal fight either of us have to endure. Even so, Aishah is helping me look at the agreement and is making sure that I'm getting a fair settlement. My divorce has felt slow and collaborative. Aishah has given the perfect blend of support and teeth, so I feel really safe, that my interests are being protected. That being said, there have been a couple times when I've seen Aishah's "shark" side. My ex didn't know he wasn't supposed to drop me from his health insurance when he changed jobs. She offered to call his attorney to set him straight. I didn't need her to, my ex worked it out, but I totay saw that she would be very tough if a situation warranted it. I can't imagine there will be any huge hiccups as my divorce becomes final. But if there are, I know I'm completely covered with her counsel. If anyone I know ever has to go through the awful business of a divorce, I will make sure they at least call her for a consultation. Everyone is different, but my divorce has been slow, relatively easy, but still heart wrenching. I'm very grateful for Aishah for her smarts, strength, and sensitivity.

Great lawyer that was communicative, patient and kind

Before asking Ms. McCoy to take my case, I spoke to alot of attorneys about having my will done. I chose McCoy because she was very communicative, and was able to explain things in a way that I could understand. Instead of confusing me with legal terms that I don't know the definitions to, she was ...able to break it down for me and made the whole process pretty simple. It showed that she really cares about people.
