A True Professional With Integrity

Attorney Thomas McCabe represented us in a very complicated, challenging and emotionally charged matter. In this lengthy suit, Atty. McCabe conducted expert, in depth research with a thorough knowledge of pertinent legal matters. His competence and genuine interest in our case significantly les...sened our burden and produced favorable outcomes. Atty. McCabe evidences integrity and compassion coupled with the keen ability to focus on the issues and goals. Atty. McCabe is a approachable, responsive, and responsible progressional. He certainly left " no stones unturned" and always kept us informed in a respectful & timely matter. Upon completion of the case, we knew we had chosen our attorney wisely and one who worked for a just and complete outcome. Should we ever encounter the need for representation in the future, I would contact Atty. Thomas McCabe immediately.

A True Professional

Atty, McCabe is an amazingly honest, caring and intelligent attorney. He seamlessly researches, addresses all levels of difficult issues and significantly helped lessen the burden of the very difficult process of divorce. I highly recommend Atty. McCabe for those seeking honest, thorough legal repre...sentation. They don't get any better than Atty.McCabe !!

Review

As a follow up to my review, I filed a Grievance Complaint against Attorney Thomas E. McCabe in June, 2014 in relation to my complaints regarding his "professional" conduct in representing me in my legal matters against my ex-husband. The Statewide Grievance Committee reviewed my complaint and felt i...t worthy of forwarding to the Stamford-Norwalk Grievance Panel. The Grievance Panel, in September, 2014 determined that there is probable cause that Attorney McCabe is guilty of misconduct, violating the following Rules of Professional Conduct: Rule 1.5(b) failure to provide a written retainer; Rule 1.1 failure to competently represent the Complainant in litigation; Rule 1.15(e) failure to account for retainer ( provide account statements); Rule 1.8(j) conflict of interest; Rule 8.1(2) failure to respond to the Complaint. A hearing before the Statewide Grievance Committee was scheduled. Attorney McCabe confirmed the above violations (except Rule 1.1 - but I believe strongly he violated that Rule as well) on 10/31/2014, admitting that there is sufficient evidence which would lead a court to find by clear and convincing evidence that he is in violation. Attorney McCabe chose to bypass the Statewide Grievance Committee process, electing instead to have the matter sent directly to and heard by the Superior Court. Presentment to the Superior Court was filed on 11/7/2014. I will post the findings following the 12/10/2014 hearing...... My advice, regardless of the Superior Court findings, DO NOT seek legal assistance in any form from Thomas E. McCabe.

There are many many things I could say about this client who for some reason has taken on a personal agenda against me. However, without divulging the large amount of information regarding this client, I was her third or fourth attorney in her file and should have known prior to filing my appearance. I will not engage in back and forth with this client.

Extremely unprofessional.

Attorney Thomas Eugene McCabe is a extremely unprofessional attorney. He represented me for a year in a divorce matter. He never returned calls or texts and rarely emails. He'd schedule times to meet on 3 seperate occasions and never showed up. He also lied and said he filed a very important docu...ment with the court that was never filed even though I paid him the filing fee. Attorney McCabe lacks morals and empathy. He is also refusing to give me my personal documents over a measly $200! Because of him I am still going through this nasty divorce. His only answer to me was he just wanted to drag it out. Attorney McCabe has no business in this line of work!

This client was offered a significantly reduced rate of about 1/4 my regular rate for my legal services, of which included trial. The "three separate occasions referenced were three different times that this client wanted me to meet with her boyfriend to collaborate testimony of the marital property she disposed of for cash to her now current boyfriend, Her husband had been incarcerated and I incurred significant loss of income for a lot of time spent on this matter. Even the Court held in their decisions that her testimonial was not creditable. I am sorry she feels this way but perhaps she should start living a better lifestyle and not blaming others for all her troubles. Her file is ready to be picked up and she refuses to pay the outstanding balance.

Feeling betrayed

I hired Mr. Mccabe to represent me in my divorce and it was a huge mistake. He failed to inform me of court dates and therefore I was a " NoShow" and so was HE! What kind of lawyer doesn't tell his client of upcomming court dates? What kind of lawyer NEVER shows up himself? I am still trying to reco...ver money I paid him, as he has not responded to me or my current attorneys requests! While he was working for me he failed to return calls or texts to keep me informed and I always felt like I was in the dark.

I honestly do not know who this purported client is but would be happy to entertain a dialogue as to what he or she feels was not done properly and what funds were not returned.
