Jeff McCarthy

5 Star Reviews
“Bottom line... they are in the business of being a lawyer... They are not baby sitters and I will not hold them to unrealistic standards. They are amazing. They performed amazing. They did not politically correct anything. They fulfilled all their duties admirably, I now have a beautiful check that helped me get back on the road and pay off bills. I am giving them a 5-star easily, I am sorry to the ones that gave a one star, I just don't see it. I will have no fear in calling them again and have set them as number 7 on speed dial.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about McCarthy & Associates. It’s rare to find an attorney personally discussing all options with me for a case I’m going through. Jeff (McCarthy) is very personable and took the time to answer all of my questions. Of course, I have talked to other staff members working on my case but they have been on top of it the entire process. It’s unfortunate that there are more people who post negative reviews than great ones.”
