Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.

The court documents they draft are poorly written, contained errors, and by mistake, disclosed an unrelated party's case information to me. He could not seem to bring what started as a relatively simple case to a close. I ended the relationship with Chase and hired Anil Pai. Anil listened, was very responsive, gave great legal advice, and very quickly got me the best possible outcome for my case.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Catherine Vance. She took my case pro bono when I felt…read morelike I had nowhere else to turn, and because of her hard work and dedication, I got my weekend visits with my child back. Catherine believed in me when it felt like no one else did. She advocated fiercely for me in court, gave me honest and thoughtful advice, and always treated me with kindness, compassion, and respect. Even while facing the incredibly difficult challenge of her husband battling cancer, she still made the time to stand beside me and fight for my family. That level of dedication speaks volumes about the kind of person and attorney she is. When I felt like I had no chance of getting my visits back, especially with my child's minor's counsel opposing me, Catherine never gave up. She helped me get my case back on track and gave me hope when I needed it most. I will always be grateful for everything Catherine has done for me and my family. She is an exceptional attorney, a caring advocate, and an amazing human being. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs someone who truly cares and will fight for them.

I had Ms. Gubbles for my divorce and custody. She has the appearance of a solid Lawyer, and will…read moretell you what you want to hear until you stand before the judge and then it falls apart quickly. My ex-husband wanted 50% of our daughter's SSI ; If you know ANYTHING about SSI, it is federal law that you can NOT give SSI monies to ANY individual under ANY circumstances, including another parent, when you are your child's "Guarantor", or your child will lose their funds completely. Christy, was NOT prepared and lost my case to an appointed Commissioner on the bench. She looked at me and said "That's the way it is", when the Commisioner made the order. I then hired a different attorney, who turned that train around. Now there are laws in place that protect disabled individuals (children) from having their benefits play apart in divorce monies. SHAME on Christy. My experience: She doesn't NOT fight to protect your children. She doesn't fight to make sure the law and your rights are upheld. I believe she perhaps collaborates with opposing counsel to determine the outcome, without you knowing. She was not a good attorney in my case. This was my experience with Christy.

He goes above and beyond to advocate for his clients and checks in with me regularly to see how I am doing. Additionally, Mr. Garcia contacts me to provide updates. He is a rare attorney. Not only is he very professional and excellent at what he does, it is clear that he truly cares about people. Mr. Garcia has made the most traumatic event I have experienced a lot easier by handling insurance issues, hospital attorneys/billing, total loss of my vehicle and so much more. In an ideal world, people would drive safely. However, this is not always the case. Should you need a personal injury attorney that will do all that is possible on your behalf, Mr. Garcia is the one to reach out to.
