About

During the process of closing my general law practice and joining a more established firm, I was reprimanded for not following up sufficiently with a former client, who was having difficulty collecting on a note that I had prepared for him.  At the time the note was executed I advised him that without collateral it would be difficult to enforce, but because he was eager to return to the middle east he loaned the money against my better judgment.  However, because I didn't put this in writing to him and later refused to assist him with the collection of the note he filed a grievance.  I did not defend myself against the grievance because I felt that I was wrong to not have put my concerns in writing, and sincerely regret not having done so.  Since then I have closed my private practice and now practice with a group of attorneys where there are adequate processes and support in place so that a similar communication failure shouldn't happen again in the future.  I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from this experience and view it as an important step in the ongoing process of becoming a better person and a hopefully a more competent professional.

Mr. McCann provided my wife and I legal consultation associated with the preparation of a family trust, last will and testament, health directive, and estate planning. Though we entered into these meetings feeling that we were well versed, and well prepared, Mr. McCann presented us with a series of thought-provoking questions that assisted us in identifying a number of important issues that we had not previously considered. His communication skills were excellent and his attention to detail was impressive. He clearly has a strong grasp of the subject matter. We felt confident in his guidance and that he was genuinely working toward our best interest. We would not hesitate to continue doing business with Mr. McCann or to recommend him to our friends. All-in-all, a very positive experience.
