Stay far away! Dennis McCarthy is the most incompetent lawyer I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. We were transferred to him when Mike Nolan left the firm. He refused to return calls and forced me to respond to opposing counsel myself so I wouldn’t miss deadlines to respond but had no problem sending bills for work he did not do. I left the firm, he still owes over $5000 back to us for excess retainer which of course he is not responding to. I just spoke to his accountant Mary Ann and she states she can’t release money without him, leave him another voicemail (it’s been weeks with no answer). Terrible!

Very professional and explained everything throughly. Would highly recommend.

I had the displeasure of dealing with Lisa Litton. I was the Plaintiff acting in Pro Se (as my own attorney). She defended the person I was suing. I highly recommend you record any private communication with her. When the Judge asked us to try to settle I gave her my terms and she lied to two judges about what the term was in order to not make her client look like a fool for not taking the deal. Two judges? After I filed my civil suit against her client months later she filed a defamation suit against me because her client didn't like I was saying she stole from me and broke our contract. In the defamation suit Litton twisted the facts and did not include the document that would have refuted her claim. She also was supposed to submit the initial disclosures 14 days after my answer and didn't submit them for almost two months. Litton sent me an email on a Friday night telling me we had paperwork to submit to the judge by the following Tuesday and I better get it to her by Monday at 3 pm. I had spent all weekend away from my family researching to understand how to respond to the paperwork. She knew this paperwork needed to be submitted for over two months and waited until the last minute. During my deposition she stuttered and was confused and didn't know how to respond to my answers against her client. In court she showed cowardace when she failed to take responsibility for not filing the dismissal when the Judge told her to. Instead she allowed me to take the blame. Email communications with her were condescending, harassing and accusatory. And when she missed a deadline to respond to my motion requesting discovery evidence, she gave me the evidence and claimed to do it under "the spirit of cooperation." I have delt with unethical attorneys in the past, both killed themselves. This woman is in the same class.

Reading this review from Zach Jacobs about Denis McCarthy only verifies his incompetence. He acted in the same manner in my divorce case. In deposition he advised me not to respond to even the fact that my ex wife had stolen money prior to the divorce. He never opened his mouth in the deposition or in mediation. He even spent tome in mediation counting how many judges were in a photo. He even decide to try and quit by sending me an email after hours on a friday prior to an early monday morning court appearance. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY. He even had the audacity to request AVVO to remove my very accurate review.

Very highly not recommended, we had Denis McCarthy representing us in a family court matter, he first misled the court in his own words rather than what we had requested on paper, he did absolutely nothing to prepare us for the trial then during the trial didnt object to anything we disagreed with, we absolutely lost the case because of his negligence, one thing he is good at is billing

Word of mouth goes a long ways, never would I ever recommend Lisa and her staff, very unprofessional.

Go elsewhere!!! Spoke with Valerie and was "working" with a man out of the Caro office. We started in October, I asked if we could be in court by December and they assured me it could be done by the end of November at the latest... they didnt even pull the case file until December as it was denoted on the billing!!! Absolutely ZERO CONTACT. It took 2-3 emails and days in between to get any response. Calls were not answered, nor returned ever, and messages were left with my name and number so there was no excuse. Asked for a refund of the remaining retainer so I could get somebody to actually work my case, and that was a week ago with no contact since. I recommend going somewhere else, my service was so bad, I can't help but question the integrity of anyone whom rated it highly. Just saying.
