Scam , if he took your, never answer your calls again. Destroying immigrant future. No experience and lazy, I will never recommend this lawyer to anybody even free of charge. Never again.

I had a complex case where my son’s dog bit one of my tenants on my property while my son came for a quick visit. I am so glad I found Edward. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings, even on nights and weekends. He brought me into the office to prepare for trial. He was able to get the case split into two separate trials; liability and damages. Because we ended up winning the liability trial, the jury never even needed to see the dog bite pictures. Edward is a highly skilled litigator who is able to think on the spot. He was also able to set me up with a payment plan that I could afford because I was unemployed at times during covid. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then call Edward McGinty.

Unprofessional, loser, careless, rude, and lazy. He only cares about money. Never answer calls. real scam. If you chose this lawyer, you will lose your case, time, and your money.

Choosing a lawyer can be difficult due to dependability and reliability, but when we chose Mr. McGinty we had a sense of relief. Off the bat he was very attentive and an open ear to the situation. He brought us through the process of what to expect and different scenarios. He was easily able to convert a child support case to a full custody case, which saved me and my family a huge amount of money. Whenever we received any information from the court he was always ready to explain all the information that can be difficult to understand. Any questions we had along the way were always answered in a timely manner, and if urgent he always attended over the phone conversations at any time of the day. I had a difficult situation with my partner which resulted in restraining orders on both sides that prevented the court from moving forward with the custody trial. Due to Mr. McGinty’s tactful and friendly nature, he was able to have the mother gladly sign to drop the restraining order and even be compliant for the rest of the custody trial. He was as well able to have the grandmother and mother come to an easy agreement on the custody agreement. The agreement was very understandable, very fair for both parties and gave all three parties exactly what they wanted. The judge had an easy time speaking to Mr. McGinty and was able to clearly understand what we were expecting and wanting out of the situation. Overall we had a happy ending with the trial and all parties are satisfied.

I hired Mr. Edward on the recommendation of a friend for a criminal defense matter he represented me in the court ones he is very responsive And very open and clear lawyer

Had a very brief ~5-10 minute consult regarding my EAD/AP renewal related to an EB1A petition with pending Adjustment of Status application. I found Ed to be very helpful and direct in his approach which I greatly appreciate.

I went into Mr. McGinty’s office for a free consultation after my husband was held by ice. After learning the details about my husbands case, Mr. McGinty gave me feedback and felt confident about his ability to get my husband out of ice custody and took us on as a case. I'm happy to report that Mr. McGinty kept his word. Throughout this entire process he was extremely professional and compassionate. I can honestly say that Mr. McGinty has his clients best interest at heart. He will be dedicated to your case. I can't thank Mr. McGinty enough for what he has done for me and my family.

Ed handled a DUI case for me. He was very thorough in his approach to handle this unusual arrest. This was a case of dui and my defense is a called a glovebox defense. Not something usually successfully but executed. Ed won this court case and protected my rights and innocence.

When DYFS interfered in our family, we stood helpless in a foreign country as immigrants. we got contact of Edward through avvo.com Our child was removed from us through emergency removal. the pain of separation from our dear one and the fear of future together distressed us badly. it was at that time the legal advice provided by him was lifechanging. the timely action and the genius ideas helped us to get our kid back and our names cleared. our life might have ended as a tragedy without his advice. He was always a step ahead of DYFS and using innovative ideas which DYFS would have never heard. I learned that DYFS has zero winning record against him.

Ed McGinty is my attorney in an ongoing case with DCPP (formerly DYFS). Prior to retaining Ed's services, I spoke with two other attorneys who are familiar with him. One described him as having "a winning record against DYFS" and the other described a case they were on together wherein "he [Ed] beat them [DYFS] hands down in the fact finding." Another legal professional told me, "You definitely have the right person in your corner." Ed has lived up to the reputation that he has with his peers and he has exceeded my expectations. He has advocated on my behalf in the court room with the ferocity of a pitbull. His expert knowledge of case law coupled with his creative approach to my case has been noted by the attorneys representing the other parties in my case and has also impressed the judge. Ed is hard-working, diligent and personable with his clients. He has gone out of his way to make sure that I have a clear understanding of everything that has occurred to date by answering all of my questions, sometimes even before I ask. I was afraid the first time I had to appear for a hearing. Now I feel confident every time we step into the court room because Ed is representing me. Ed McGinty is definitely the right attorney to have in your corner against DCPP (DYFS).

Excellent attorney. He took my case with very short notice and help me a lot to take the right decision about the employee agreement he reviewed. After he reviewed the documents i gave him, he kept in touch to know if everything was ok and gave me some extra advise. I highly recommend this attorney.

I've been in scenarios with attorneys that made me feel like I was a burden as a client or that they were just going through the motions to rationalize billing me. Ed is not one of "those" attorneys. I felt like he was on my side making the points I wanted to make and fighting for me. He kept me up to date with his research and my options. This is the attorney to turn to when the case calls for above-and-beyond representation.
