Reviews

Probably the best attorney I have ever had hands down. Extremely thorough and does his due diligence. He does his job and is extremely good at it. I recommend him for anyone having a dui case. Very down to earth and easy to Talk to. He certainly my saving grace???? If you hire Joe McGrath I assure you you will not be disappointed.
The first time we hired McGrath it was for a minor traffic ticket and the outcome was good (thanks for that, Joe). However, when a different family member hired him in 2022 for a major traffic ticket - the outcome was not good and it was actually so bad that we later relaized we might have had a better outcome without a lawyer. I wanted to leave a review just in case it helps someone else. You get what you pay for with a lawyer and while Joe is affordable, that might cost you in the end. This might have just been a bad season for him. My suggestion is do your due diligence and check with a few other lawyers and also research options for your case and situation (be in the know so you can see if your lawyer is letting things go). Because later we learned that in our case, for someone with a first offense ever, there could have been (should have been) plea options and we were never told any of that; a friend lawyer we know later told us that our outcome was usually something that a repeating offender would get - (we got the harshest sentence with a mark on their record) and I know that every case is different - but we should have went to trial because there were unique details that also mattered and this lawyer did not fight or advocate for us.
I would highly recommend Joe McGrath. Compared to other lawyers his pricing was tolerable and well worth it. I got a 1st offense DUI in Chesterfield with a BAC of .16. It seemed really unlikely that this sentence would be reduced, however Mr. McGrath was able to get it reduced to a reckless driving charge. I was still sentenced to 10 days jail time, but he pointed me to a program where I serve jail time by doing community service instead. Mr. McGrath is very knowledgeable and does what he can for the case to work in his clients favor. He is also very well known in the Chesterfield area.
assistant who answered the phone was super cool and helpful with pointing me in the right direction! as far as Joe… attitude was nasty when asking GENERAL questions trying to get a better understanding of what we were possibly dealing with, intentionally disconnected the call before me telling me to “figure it out”. all is over with, byeeee
I had Mr. McGrath represent me for restoration of my driving privilege's after my 3rd DUI. Do not go it alone! Joe has years of experience and knows the legal procedure. Communication was clear and prompt. I'm happy with the price. Nice experience all around. I'm a satisfied customer.
