About

From the time John was 8 years old, he wanted to be a lawyer. After living in San Francisco and New York, John spent most of his childhood growing up in North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Campbell University School of Law. While at Campbell, John was named to two national moot court teams, and the law school's faculty recognized him as one of the nation's best, up-and-coming lawyers. After graduating from Campbell with honors, John initially worked for a law firm that defended claims filed by injured people. After seeing from the inside how insurance companies and big business attempt to work the legal system to maximize their own profits, John quickly realized that accident victims needed a strong and aggressive advocate to stand up and fight for them. So, in 1995, he changed firms and since then, he has focused exclusively on representing people throughout the country who have been injured by trucking collisions, medical negligence, defective products, and on-the-job accidents. Known for his strong work ethic and attention to detail, one of John's most notable achievements occurred in 2000 when he represented a young mother and her daughter in a case against the State of North Carolina for serious injuries that they suffered when their mini-van was struck head-on by a Department of Transportation dump truck. At that time, a damages cap limited the amount of damages that could be recovered from the State of North Carolina to a maximum of $150,000, which was less than half of the mother's medical bills. Through John's efforts and against considerable odds, he was not only able to persuade the General Assembly to increase the cap to $500,000, but he also instituted ground-breaking lawsuits that resulted in the family recovering a settlement that was more than 10 times the amount initially offered by the State.John is licensed to practice law in all North Carolina federal and state courts, and he is a very active member of the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. John devotes a considerable amount of his time to teaching legal concepts and advocacy skills to other attorneys and law students, and his articles are frequently published throughout the State.In his free time, John coaches a youth basketball team, and he serves as an extraordinary minister, lecturer, and mass coordinator at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh.  He enjoys basketball, softball, running, biking, music, and traveling with his wife, Rebecca.

I came to Mr. McCabe a little over two and half years ago. A mother, who was desperately seeking answers as to what really caused the tragic car accident my daughter died in. Mr. McCabe was honest with me; and stated he had never taken on a case such as mine before. But if I chose him as my attorney, he was confident that he would do his best to get the answers that I was seeking. He made it perfectly clear that there were no guarantees. Mr. McCabe is fair, honest, and straight forward. These are characteristics I think consumers look for when looking for an attorney they can trust. As your case progresses, Mr. McCabe and his team keeps you well informed. There were times when things did not look favorable, he was straight forward. He did not "sugar coat" the facts And other times when things were going well, I was kept abreast of this too. Mr. McCabe and his team treat you with the up most respect. They listen to what you have to say. While recognizing that they are experts in what they do, YOU are the expert on your love one. I guess, you can say, he makes you feel like you are apart of his team. My experience has been that Mr. McCabe and his team do not look at your case as another case file but as a real human being, who they genuinely want to get to know. Mr. McCabe and his team are very compassionate people and I thank God everyday that He directed me to Mr. McCabe's Law Firm. I would gladly recommend him to anyone.

When my wife and I were in a bad automobile accident, we luckily knew knowledgeable lawyers who immediately steered us to John McCabe. He and his paralegal, Gloria, were wonderful to work with and got the best possible results for both of us. Can't recommend more highly.

Being a blue-collar worker and never dealt with attorney before I had already had a negative attitude about attorneys. Mr. Mccabe quickly change my attitude . He answered all my questions, and I did have a lot of questions, in simple layman terms. Mr. Mccabe was very upfront. He quickly responded to all of my messages because I am impatient when I am waiting for answers to questions that I feel are important to me . He was professional but also had a friendly personality that made me feel comfortable. I appreciated his honesty. If you need a great attorney I suggest you call Mr. McCabe.

Although Mr. McCabe gave me an answer I didn’t want to hear, he worked diligently and expediently to come up with the best answer for the two of us. He seems to be honest and forthright

John McCabe is one of the best Lawyers we have ever met. When first meeting John in Feb 2011 he listened to what we had to say and was very concerned about my health and the situation surrounding it. John is not a person who chases cases his cases come from recommendations from his clients and fellow attorneys. Within the first 15 minutes of meeting him I knew he was the right fit for me and my family because he showed care and compassion for the whole situation not just the details of my injuries. Throughout the time we have worked with John he has been there for us as a friend and a lawyer. John and his staff have the recourses and connections to keep life moving where you think doors are closing. They are always available and John makes himself reachable anytime for clients. Throughout our case he handled everything, we had no worries about anything we put all our trust in him and his staff and it has returned us great and satisfying results. If you want the best than look no further “The Law Offices of John McCabe” has the recourses and experience to handle your case.

I have known John McCabe for almost 30 years and would recommend him and have recommended him as an attorney to anyone that would ask me. His passion for Law, loyalty to his clients, and people skills make him great at what he does. He has helped me both personally and professionally with many situations over the years. I hold him in the highest regards.

When I first met John, I was taken by his concern for me and my situation. After talking to him for about 30 minutes, I knew I wanted to hire him. We were taking on a big organization and I knew I could not do it alone. John laid everything out for me and did not make a move or talk to anyone without first consulting me and how I felt about it. The process was seamless thanks to him and his staff. When the day of mediation came, he did not waiver in any way. He believed in me and I put every ounce of trust I had in him that day. He LITERALLY held my future and that of my family in his hands and I couldn't have chosen better attorney. I have told several people I know that may be looking in the same direction as I was about him. John McCabe is one in a miliion. I appreciate everything he did for me.
