Patrick M. McCarthy PC

Pat kept my upset head on an even keel during my divorce with his levelheaded demeanor. Understood my financial situation and let me set my own payment plan to stay above water. I strongly recommend his services and will use him again if needed.

I was referred by another lawyer I do business with for a consultation with Mr. McCarthy regarding a custody appeal. My phone records show I spoke to him for 21 minutes, he was vacationing and would call me back when he returned. I had 21 days to file and needed someone who was available to review the decision and file within the small window of allotted time. I hired a Appellate lawyer who could immediately start, I explained that to Mr. McCarthy when he returned from vacation the next week and returned my call. He NEVER stated he was charging me for a consultation, never discussed a fee schedule, I never signed anything or agreed verbally to pay. He has repeatedly sent me an invoice for $224.05 for an “Extended Consultation”. We spoke 21 minutes, standard consultations are 30 minutes. I spoke to 5 lawyers before I chose the best lawyer for my case, not one sent a bill in the mail for fees I was never told about. This is pure pettiness and unscrupulous billing practices.

Patrick was extremely knowledgeable, professional and offered excellent, straight forward advice on my case. I was very happy with my services and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Patrick has done collections for me over the years. He’s been efficient, a good communicator and effective at resolving issues.
