I sort a consultation with Robert McDermott. He literally restored my faith in humanity. Bob immediately made time to speak with me even though it was well after 5pm. He patiently listened with compassion and care and never rushed me. He reviewed the documents I had and provided clarity, advice andoffered expert solutions to the very complex set of estate issues I was faced with. His recommended approach is one to be fair, honest and remain effective to avoid costly litigation. I am so appreciative of Bob's expert advice and guidance.

I have known Robert McDermott for several years, having engaged him initially to assist my family with our estate planning. Our experience was exceptional. Robert and his team are extremely knowledgeable, efficient and patient as we had many questions throughout the process. My family subsequently engaged Robert and his team to assist in negotiating and settling a family dispute regarding complicated legal issues involving a real estate property. Robert counseled us with practical advice, always being mindful of the economics. As a result, we avoided a contentious costly litigation and all parties were satisfied in the end. Again Robert and his firm were always accessible and patient in dealing with members of the family. I highly recommend Robert in the areas of real estate and estate planning.

Bob took care of a bill of sale for our organization that was extremely sensitive in nature. He helped us through several challenging months by patiently explaining our legal rights, answering our many questions, and always providing clear and timely documentation to support our case. I am extremely grateful for his kindness and professionalism and give him the highest recommendation.

I came to know Bob McDermott within a professional environment and gained insight into the type of practice he ran and type of person he was. He and his associates are professional, knowledgeable, and caring individuals. There was no question as to who to contact when I personally needed estate planning guidance. Bob very patiently explained the law and answered all my questions as they arose. I will continue to use McDermott Law Offices as needed and will refer others to use them as well.

My wife and I spoke with Bob about our will and the status of our finances. It was a friendly relaxing conversation with Bob regaling us with many family stories. He told us we were in good shape with our finances and current will and no changes were necessary. He also gave us advice on estate planning and provided us with material on "pooled trusts".There would be no charge unless we wanted changes made to the will. We were highly satisfied with our meeting.

Unexpectedly in 2008, I simultaneously encountered devastating life events. I required immediate legal advice and was fortuitously referred to Bob McDermott. Unknowingly, I was faced with: IRS taxes, mortgage/foreclosure, financial ruin and marital issues. My whole world had been turned upside down. Blindly, I telephoned Bob. He listened attentively, "made a few phone calls" and ultimately assisted me sight unseen. Purposefully, he guided me to address the," The Top Three Dogs " facing me first. His clarity enabled me to focus and move forward to confront all the issues. Bob is a paramount lawyer and goes way "over-and-above". If he is unfamiliar in a specific area he will unequivocally find the correct answer via his top-level colleagues and specialists. Now that Estate Planning is incorporated into his legal expertise, once again I will be enlisting his trusted services. He is affable, diligent, professional, knowledgeable and extremely thorough. You can feel confident all legal areas have been comprehensively covered. Not only is Bob a true humanitarian and world class lawyer, he is the BEST lawyer you will encounter bar none.

I approached Bob for guidance on my estate planning. He worked with me to create a living will and a trust.

I would highly recommend his services.

Bob probated estates for me. Bob always explained the process to me so that I knew what to expect, and what needed to be done. From applying to the court, getting the money, what I needed to do with the Estate bank accounts, when I could make payments and to who, etc. Bob always returned my phone calls, in a timely manner, and provided honest and solid advice as my cases progressed. He is one of the most approachable and honest attorneys I have worked with, and I recommend him.

Strong and effective litigator. Has handled numerous matters (of varying types) for me over the last 3 years. High level of dedication to my cases. Communicated with me often. VERY fair with billing. Provided honest advice – he will always try to work things out first and avoid unnecessary and expensive litigation.
