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.

Security Deposit

I desperately needed some legal advice about my security deposit and an ex landlord harassing us...after leaving my questions on AVVO this attorney Thomas E. Mccabe, replied immediately ..he also took the time to call us in our stressful time of need to reassure us that he'd take care of everything ...he was so friendly, funny, very polite, so professional so concerned with how we felt, was so quick to explain slowly and listened to every single word finally giving us the best results.Wish every attorney could learn a thing or two from Thomas he gets 1,000 GOLD stars! Thank You so much attorney Thomas! God bless You! -From the Perez family!

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.
