I hired Mr. McGillicuddy as my attorney to represent me in a worker’s compensation case against my company. This was necessary in order to obtain authorization for the back surgery I required because of a work related injury. This case was against a very large semiconductor manufacturing facility in Poughkeepsie New York. Mr. McGillicuddy promised during our consultations that when the time comes to present our case at the compensation board he will bring out all the necessary facts. Mr. McGillicuddy requested from me any information I could supply involving the company accident. This included any of my reviews which would be helpful to my case in court. I did so and also provided him with an excellent review. He said this would be very beneficial at our hearing with the compensation judge. The compensation board hearing with the judge did not take place for many months. Within this time period I required extensive back surgery. This required steel plates with screws and a spinal fusion. Just before the compensation board hearing was to take place Mr. McGillicuddy had me in his office for a final consultation. When I asked about the good review I had given him he stated “he could not find it” but said it is not needed since it will be “his day in court”. During the morning of the compensation board hearing I entered the court to find Mr. McGillicuddy was not present. When asked, the court informed me that another attorney had been provided in his place. This attorney was a retired judge and he was not even familiar with me or my name. I had never seen or heard about him in any meetings with Mr. McGillicuddy and he never informed me about him. Thank goodness for the fact that my orthopedic surgeon was there as a witness in my case. If you are looking for a competent attorney who is working with you I would defiantly not recommend Mr. McGillicuddy under any circumstances. Look somewhere else. Gave one star only to post review, otherwise a zero!
