Denis represented me both in a divorce and misdemeanor case. He was professional, understanding and had the respect of the judge and prosecutors. I had the best possible outcome and he helped me get my life back in order. Having no prior legal experience, I met with several other unscrupulous or unqualified attorneys, but found that Denis has the reputation and backs it up. Afterward, he even referred me to a great Trust Attorney to ensure my kids were protected if I were gone.

I was involved in an injury accident. I had been drinking. The prosecutor charged me with a felony and was not willing to deal with any lesser pleas. Denis spent 100's of hours getting ready for the trial and could not have handled things better. The jury came back with not guilty. I hope I never need another lawyer but if I do I will go straight to Denis. I recommend that if you need a lawyer that you should hire Denis as he is a real professional and a stand up guy. He and his staff helped me get through a very stressful and frightening time.

Attorney McCarthy was knowledgeable, kind and supportive through the filing and finalizing of my divorce. No one wants to have to go through this sort of thing but when faced with these life altering situations it helps to have the right people on your side. There is truly no other attorney that I will ever consider using in the future. I will also continue to refer my friends and family to this legal practice.

I hired Denis McCarthy to represent me in my divorce after reading reviews on the internet. This the was worst decision I have ever made. He gave very little, if any advice during my divorce proceedings. He pushed to have me and my ex wife go into mediation, where I don't think he ever opened his mouth. He spent more time counting how many judges were in a photo on the wall instead of paying attention to what was being said. he even at one point got up from his seat to retrieve the picture for inspection. On the Friday evening prior to my Monday morning court date he sent me an email that stated he could no longer represent me. Then he showed up to court on Monday and tried to get the judge to let him out of being counsel. This attorney is a real piece of work. He cost me thousands and I would not recommend him to anyone. I will be filing a document with the Michigan State Bar about his actions. I would highly recommend not getting involved with this individual. I also thought it was pretty pathetic how another attorney from his office contacted me to defend his actions after I emailed him to inform him I was filing with the State Bar. He stated how boring that the mediations can become. I feel that if you find your profession boring, you should find another job and costing your clients money for unacceptable behavior.

Denis McCarthy handled a personal injury case for me that originated in Aug. 2015. My case was finally settled in Aug. 2017. I had never filed a law suit before and Denis, his paralegal Deborah and the rest of the staff at Kohl, Harris were a pleasure to deal with. Denis and Deborah kept me up to date on the status of my case and Denis offered me great advice. I would highly recommend them should you find yourself in need of legal services.

I hired Denis McCarthy to represent me for my divorce, which was contested, and probably the single most horrible event of my life. Through all the chaos, Denis was there for me. Calm and consummately professional. He guided me through all the filings and paperwork required and explained everything in a way I could easily understand. All that made the experience bearable, but his knowledge of the Law and skill with legal maneuvering resulted in an outcome far better than I had any hope to expect. Thank you, Denis!

I found myself in quite a predicament back in Jan 25, 2011. I was introduced to Attorney McCarthy by my brother in law who knew i needed a great attorney. He took me to meet Attorney McCarthy and he listened. I explained to him that i was involved in a political smear and was being was being accused of embezzlement from 5 years prior. Attorney McCarthy watched me very carefully as i told my story, not judging, but listening, listening to every word. His firm at first did not want to take my case, but Denis believed me and knew i was being railroaded. We moved forward and 2.5 years later i was acquitted on all five charges. During the trial it became quite clear this was a smear campaign to get me out of their and Denis made the Oakland County Prosecutor look pathetic. I would recommend him and do recommend him to everyone I know. He has helped a few people in my family. He is Knowledgeable, Respectful and kept me informed down to what i would have thought was a dumb question. He is a family man, and an Attorney I will keep in my corner

professional, knowledgable compassionate and aggressive. That's the kind of Attorney I needed and still need. When asked if I know of a good Attorney I say " no" I know a great Attorney. I was falsely set up with five felony counts of embezzlement by my former employee, instead of turning me away her believed me, but the pieces together and kicked prosecutor Pernicks ass. He took his ball from his own court house and went home crying. Attorney McCarthy will not only fight for you he WINS! He is representing me now in what will be an ugly divorce, once I put it in Denis's hands I have no worries. My family has used him, I don't consider him my Attorney as my attorney but as a friend. He has a dry sense of humor, will never lie to you and keep you posted through out the whole process. I was lucky enough that he was a friend of my brother in law, but to also be proud to recommend him for any type of attorney you may need

Knowledgeable, aggressive, plays to win, kept me informed at all times. sincere and easy to talk to. Attorney McCarthy was introduced to me by my brother in law, i not only consider him my attorney, but a friend as well. He is a shark in the court room and does not pull any punches with his clients. He has helped me by winning 5 embezzlement charges i was accused of, took my case, believed in me and kicked Oakland County Prosecutor Pernicks butt, they had no evidence and Attorney McCarthy left him kicking in the sand, and taking his ball home crying. He has represented my family members on different offenses and won, and is now representing me in my divorce and i have every bit of faith in him to get me all i deserve. He is my go to Attorney as i said and he has never turned me away, he is smart, and listens until he understands every aspect of your case. You want to win your case, call Denis McCarthy at Khol Harris and McCarthy.

Denis McCarthy is incredibly dependable, knowledgeable and understanding. He lead me through each step of the court process and made me aware of all potential outcomes. He did not hesitate to continue with my decision to take our case to a jury trial which resulted in a "Not Guilty" verdict. he tirelessly dug into my case and really outshone the prosecuting attorney's office. I highly recommend Denis McCarthy and his firm. As a criminal defense lawyer, he definitely rates an 11 out of 10.

In the legal world, a great attorney is a must and Denis has that and more. My husband was falsely accused of a serious crime. It was amazing to have an attorney who believed in us and who aggressively put us first. His knowledge and professionalism in going through the court system was invaluable. I would highly recommend Denis without hesitation.
