Excellent representation on my car accident!
Chad handled my case with great professionalism. He was able to address issues that arose during the case with his knowledge of the law and the facts of the case. The case was not clear in liability and he skillfully negotiated a settlement on my behalf. He kept me well-informed on the progress of my case at all times and was always available when I had any questions.

Personal injury Attorney | Mar 16
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Mr. Mcguire and I have worked together on personal injury matters for well over ten (10) years now; I find Mr. Mcguire to be a very good attorney. His legal research skills, and his skills in the court room are indeed very impressive. I have learned much just by watching Mr. Mcguire work. I have also had the pleasure of watching Mr. Mcguire as a professor; currently he has a tenured professorship position at the University of Massachusetts. However, he still counsels my law office on complicated civil matters. He is also very active with Pro Bono work and has recently received such awards in his area. He is an absolute credit to the legal profession, and to the world of academia. I, without hesitation, highly endorse this lawyer's work, and look forward to him continuing his efforts for those needing justice."
