"I endorse this lawyer's work. Joe and I tried a case against a rogue lawyer in San Mateo County before a jury. Joe was very focused and organized. Joe had a firm grasp of the law and presented the case very professionally to a very successful conclusion. I met Joe when I opposed him in a construction dispute. Joe was very well-prepared and successfully represented his client. He was able to do so in a calm, logical fact-based presentation that impressed the arbitrator. Whenever I have a complicated construction matter, I refer the case to Joe. Joe has extensive expertise in all construction-related areas of the law."

"Law is Joe's third career. After having been a general contractor for over twenty years and a real estate broker for seventeen years, Joe brings his expertise in construction, real estate and business law to the legal issues confronting his clients. That type of background in an attorney translates into real dollar savings for his clients who don't have to spend money educating Joe in the construction, real estate or business arena. It is a rare combination to find an attorney like Joe who has independent expertise in the areas in which he practices law. With such a diverse background, Joe quickly assesses his client's case and, when necessary, forcefully represents clients in litigation, arbitration and mediation. Joe's clients get the lawyer and a real world expert in one professional - a powerful combination in today's legal environment."

"Joe is a great attorney with a no-nonsense, practical approach to the law. After a few minutes with Joe, you will know that you are in the hands of a seasoned professional with an impressive grasp of construction law. I can easily recommend Joe and will refer clients to him whenever given the chance."

"I recently had the privilege of meeting Joe during a recent legal seminar. I was impressed with his knowledge of the construction and real estate industry. He is a leader in his field and has the ability to formulate creative solutions to solve his clients problems. If the answer is within reach, Joe will find it and utilize it to your strategic advantage."

"I have worked with Joe McCarthy on a number of construction-related lawsuits over the years. He is resourceful, trustworthy, capable, and reliable. He possesses an in-depth knowledge of all remedies available to an aggrieved contractor. He brings these remedies to bear with diligence and integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a member of my family in matters of construction and development law."

"It is apparent by looking at his website that Joe McCarthy has extensive knowledge and experience in the construction industry. The construction industry, by its very technical nature, requires a lawyer who is well versed in the industry. Joe has the necessary background - more than just a law degree - to fully understand the needs and concerns of a contractor or a construction business. I had the opportunity to meet Joe at a small legal workshop and, even more important than his experience, I found that Joe has a true desire to serve his clients and to serve them with excellence."
