OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

This review will not do the experience I had with The Bolan Law Group, specifically attorney Mike McCarthy, justice. Mike and his team took the time to explain every option pertaining to my case, even the tough ones that required accountability on my end. He offered multiple solutions and was tho...rough in explaining each one, both the pros and the cons. He handled the opposition masterfully and stood steadfast in our position without wavering. He pushed when it was needed and soft pedaled when pushing wasn't the strategy. Mr. McCarthy alleviated all of the amprehenstions I had about "Attorneys" and refuted all of the old adages and negative criticisms that are placed at their feet. Mike offers the "White Glove" experience and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and satisfied. His attention to detail, follow up, response time, and follow through is on POINT! I couldn't make a GREATER recommendation to anyone needing legal representation.

Very Pleased

I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone going through a difficult divorce he has helped me out very much. when it came to my ex wanting to change things up last minute he definitely went to bat for me. Mike was always professional very upfront with everything and always reliable and responded ba...ck to any question even if it was small Mike was very fast to get back to me never made me feel like any of my questions were stupid or small even after my divorce was final my ex has tried many things to try and change or make work in his favor and Mike has stayed on to help me with them he has never made me feel like I was just a client for the day or that he never had time for me he is definitely made me feel like a real person and that my case mattered and seemed legitimately concerned about mine and my children's well-being and for that I would definitely recommend Mike McCarthy for an attorney to any of my friends and family I definitely wish him and his team the best and I thank him very much for everything that he has done for me and my kids through this difficult divorce.

what a relief

after my first meeting with Mike I relaxed immediately. I knew that he was on top of any issues that would come up in what had been a really confrontational real estate dispute. Litigation had been going on for months already by the time I met with him. But after two months with Mike's assistance... we were able to resolve the case amicably

THE BEST

Mr. McCarthy was responsive and trustworthy. I cannot believe that he was able to get me the result that he did. I recommend him to anyone with any divorce or child custody problems without hesitation. I spoke to other attorneys in the area about my case and was told that I had no chance of succes...s.

Quality

Mike helped me navigate through the court system and gave me confidence with his hard working approach that we would get a fair judgement. I will use him again in the future if needed. Very professional and worth every penny.
