I asked Mr. Malloy for some advice concerning a doctor who I believed was being unethical. Mr. Malloy suggested a few options, which I followed up on and had a successful outcome. Mr. Malloy is a compassionate, ethical and helpful lawyer, he has a good sense of humor, which I find pleasant in a particularly hostile environment. I could not thank him enough.

I had retained Dennis Ahearn for a case involving me being assaulted resulting in a broken nose and three surgeries. I cannot say enough about how professional he was yet he made me feel I mattered and was not just another case. He’s an incredible attorney knows his stuff and still manages to treat you as if you matter. He got me thru this assault which emotionally and physically was tough. I would recommend he as he is an outstanding attorney that also doesn’t rob you blind he knows his stuff and very professional. I can’t thank him enough for which was a tough time. for me. if I could give 10 stars I would.
