Even after hearing no over and over again he still asked. I don't know how he did it but somehow he got the reduction. if it wasn't for Phil I would have lost my job, read less

Mr.... read moreMr. McCarthy was truthful, forthright & very professional. I do not have any knowledge or experience with court proceedings. Mr. McCarthy took all the time necessary to fully explain the process, what he was going to do for me & my case, explained all of the possible outcomes & what could be expected. I can't express how important, to me, it was that Phil did not "sugarcoat" or give me false high hopes of a desired outcome. Phil took the time to know, understand & take into consideration my personal special circumstances. Mr. McCarthy called me to explain the outcome of a hearing, and that he won a favorable decision in my benefit. He saved my ability to continue being independent. Phil & office staff are truly a pleasure to communicate with. There's not any words to express my gratitude for Mr. McCarthy. read less

He saved my son from a decade in prison. Finding ourselves in the nightmare of the criminal justice system was horrifying. We were referred to Mr. McCarthy from a friend who used his services a couple of years before. Mr. McCarthy and his staff were always available. They took all the time we needed to understand the proceedings and really "went to bat" for our son. The entire matter lasted about 4 months, and at the end our son was given work project and a couple of years of probation. I recommend Mr. McCarthy to anyone that has been arrested. He is truly a great attorney! read less
