Best Landlord Attorney Around!

We used Mr. McCarty to handle our Landlord/Tenant rental agreement contract issue and eviction. He did so much background research and had everything so well prepared for the trial on our issues that we didn't even need to testify. Each argument that the defendant had was either thrown out or became... a null topic because of Kevin's conscientious and dedicated research that he presented to the judge. If you need an excellent attorney to handle your issues as a landlord, I would strongly recommend you get Kevin to be your attorney and not have to go against him! He is the best around. I feel even the judge was surprised at his knowledge and understanding of all the laws and ordinances for Oregon and Deschutes County. Thank you Kevin!

Happy Landlord, thanks to Kevin McCarty

Kevin recently represented me in an eviction case with a difficult commercial tenant. The tenant is also my ex-spouse whom I have family law issues with as well. Kevin was very thorough and really understood the complexities of this unusual situation. He was responsive, fast, extremely professional a...nd helpful and also was considerate of my budget concerns. I will definitely use his services again!

Tough divorce case.

I will recommend Kevin McCarty to any of my friends or family, needing legal counsel. Kevin represented me in a contentious divorce. The opposing side drove the costs well beyond anything I had envisioned. This however, was our only option, considering the alternative of concession. And would have b...een much higher for me had I gone with a larger, more expensive firm. Kevin's was very accessible and kept me informed, he had good advice when things were reasonable and handled crazy in stride, rolling up the sleeves and playing hardball when we were backed into the corner. His easygoing and personable style, small office and friendly staff were what I was looking for, and received.

Voice of Reason

Kevin McCarty represented me in a child support modification. I was very well represented against my ex husband. I was so proud of Mr. McCarty's forthright, calm presentation in court. The judge, and even my ex's attorney, were impressed by Mr. McCarty's honest and prepared arguments. I highly recom...mend Kevin McCarty.

A White Knight

Kevin McCarty was referred to me by my neighbor who knew him personally and spoke highly of him. I was not disappointed. With little money to my name, I was not sure I would be able to get assistance from any lawyer in my tenant eviction case, but Mr. McCarty rose to the challenge and took my case on... a contingency basis after our initial meeting. His astute mind and knowledge of tenant law saved me from an unlawful eviction and potentially a few thousand dollars in legal fees from my landlord. I found him compassionate and kind, and very approachable. He clearly explained the laws to me and his sharp eye caught several illegal actions my landlord was trying to foist upon me and won my case hands down without me even having to appear in court. I highly recommend his services if you are a tenant facing eviction; he knows his stuff!
