We sold our fathers townhouse after he passed. The realtor, lawyer and paralegal were like a perfect symphony. They walked us through each step. Advised us when needed and were able to answer our many questions. His guidance was helpful and everything done in a timely manner. Very satisfied.

Jack McCarthy handled the sale of my deceased father's condo. Communication was very good with his paralegal. He had to work out some issues with the buyer, which were handled promptly, and the sale was completed. I was especially happy with the fact that most of the paperwork could be handled electronically, since I live in a different state.

Jack and his paralegal Ivette are awesome to work with. They go above and beyond to get the job done. I have used Jack in the past and will continue to use him in the future when the need arises. I highly recommend using them without hesitation.

John F. McCarthy III recently prepared extensive estate planning documents for me. These included a will, a living will, and powers of attorney. I found him to be smart, professional, honest, efficient, experienced, and considerate.

Hired Mr. McCarthy's law firm to draw a Last Will & Testament, Power of Attorney, and Living Will for both myself and my wife. We are completely satisfied with the documents. Mr. McCarthy and his staff were extremely helpful in answering all of the questions that we had and were very patient and accommodating in making sure that all of our requirements (in layman terms) were met within the documents. The staff is very well prepared and very well organized and made sure to remind us of every detail.

After a disappointing experience with another firm, we found the McCarthy Law Firm to be super-efficient in providing us with a very comprehensive set of estate documents. Jack McCarthy provided very practical advice concerning the disutility of our current revocable trusts, given changes in state and federal estate taxes. All of this will make it much easier for our children to serve as executors after we are deceased.
