WARNING-STAY AWAY

BEWARE! I went to him to help me with a volatile divorce/custody case between my girlfriend and her ex. He took my money and did nothing that he promised. During the period of his "services" he did not accept phone calls nor return phone calls for nearly three months as urgent emails and phone calls... asking for response were ignored. His primary means of communication was almost exclusively through text messages. To my experience and in my opinion, his behavior is completely unprofessional and adolescent. Just a sampling of what I had to endure for three months after retaining Mr. Mccabe: - Despite urgent pleadings with him over the course of three months he did not file a single motion as he was directed. - He provided no accounting of time nor expense. - He provided no accounting of communications with opposing counsel. - He did not answer phone calls. - He did not return phone calls. - Despite numberous requests to schedule weekly status updates, no effort was ever made in this regard. He never scheduled a single status meeting and never provided requested details - He repeatedly made promises to take specific actions in a specific timeframe and did nothing that he promised. - MOST ALARMINGLY, he took absolutely no action when he was alerted to a situation where the health and safety of a minor child was at risk. This resulted in a 15 year old girl being left home without proper adult supervision for a week while her father went on a booze cruise with his girlfriend. His callous disregard for the mothers concerns in this situation caused actual physical symptioms in the childs mother . I have months of text messages verifying what i am saying. This is my opinion and reflects my accounting of the services, or more accurately, the lack of services provided by Mr. Mccabe.

This gentleman has also taken on some personal agenda as I was not "responsive" to his text messages to me between 3:00 and 5:00am when the majority of the texts and emails would be received. He also had hired me for a single issue matter which developed into a full blown modification and contempt hearing, of which he did not want to pay a retainer and expected me to work for free.

I could not have found a better attorney!

Attorney McCabe is a highly intelligent attorney as well as an individual. I was looking for an attorney who was well educated, compassionate, but someone who was a shark in the court room. Attorney McCabe has all those qualities, but more important to me, is that he is a good human being. I know ...that he has my best interest in mind. I do not feel like just another source of income. He constantly sees a positive outlook in every situation that I have contacted him for. I am currently involved in a custody matter which limits me from going into details of how Attorney McCabe works, but I can tell you that I am not at a loss. Attorney McCabe responds quickly to emails, telephone calls and any other form of communication that was used. I have never felt that my concerns were too petty or r too insignificant for him to respond to. He has made this process much easier and less painful than the previous attorney had. I would recommend Attorney McCabe for any legal matter, but especially Family Law and Divorce.
