Ed Maginnis represented us in a lawsuit brought against us. He literally saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars by succeeding in having the lawsuit dismissed. Having never been through anything like this before, Ed eased our fears, answered all our questions and was available whenever we needed him. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, professional attorney, look no further than Maginnis Law.

I highly recommend Maginnis Law because of their professionalism and most importantly their compassion for the client. I worked very closely with Karl Gwaltney. Mr. Gwaltney is knowledgeable and was eager to help me with my case from day one. During my case he was very honest and forthcoming. After seeing his courtroom presence for the first time I knew I was in good hands. It has been two years since I've used their services and Mr. Gwaltney still finds time to drop me a line to wish me well. Maginnis Law has a stand up group of individuals that want nothing more than to help a person in need.

I owe a big THANK YOU to Ed Maginnis and Karl Gwaltney for representing me in my employment case. They met with me and spoke with me over the phone anytime I had questions about my case. It was a speedy process too which helped put my mind at ease. I wouldn't trust anyone else to represent me. They gave me their 110% and most importantly they helped me get the justice that I deserved. They not only gave great advice, but they listened to my story and wanted to help me. It was the best feeling. I highly recommend the Maginnis Law Firm to anyone who is not sure about where to turn. I will be forever grateful for what they did. I finally have justice and can move forward with my life.

Our firm works with Maginnis Law on a regular basis. Any time we are in need of a civil, business, or personal injury attorney, Ed Maginnis' firm is the first that we call and refer our clients to. The team of attorneys there is aggressive and knowledgeable, and we know that they will fight for their clients until the end.

I am so pleased with the services I received from Karl S. Gwaltney, an attorney at Maginnis Law Firm. Before I contacted Mr. Gwaltney I was unsure of my legal rights to an issue I was confronted with. After meeting with Mr. Gwaltney, his in-depth knowledge and expertise allowed him to quickly identify specific State Law Violations and the merits of my complaints regarding a Residential Rental Contract Dispute. My case was handled so thoroughly that I received a large amount of money AND it was resolved in a short amount of time. During the entire process of my case Mr. Gwaltney was supportive, kept me informed, and helped me understand what I needed to do. Without Mr. Gwaltney I had no chance to fair and just results. I absolutely recommend to my family, friends, co-workers and anyone I come in contact with that needs Mr. Gwaltney's services, that they contact him without delay! Don't let the mild-mannered exterior fool you. This is a top notch attorney that I now entrust and who has proven to put my best interest first. Thank you Maginnis Law Firm!

I would like to take this time to recommend Shawn Howard at Maginnis Law in Raleigh NC. Mr.Howard did an amazing job representing me after I had been in a car accident while in VA. He was extremely thorough in gathering any information needed for the case and was helpful throughout the entire processes with giving advice. My case settled in a timely manner and I was extremely pleased with the outcome!

Magginis Law Firm represented us in an eviction case. My wife and I live out of state and relied on their services to help us regain possession of our property. The initial trial was difficult due to tenant's rights and our case for possession was rejected. Ed Maginnis stuck with us and was able to win an appeal of the case for not only possession but also significant damages. Being a complicated situation, Ed Maginnis was very organized and strategically planned when to present information to the magistrate and judge at each hearing, respectively. His timing and delivery of facts strengthened our case. Ed Maginnis was quite collected with his thoughts, clever with his arguments and extremely well spoken. His confidence, experience, and knowledge of tenant-landlord laws were reflected in his representation. Ed Maginnis reviewed all of the information we provided him with: emails, multiple iterations of leasing agreements, photographs, etc. He isolated just the pertinent information to establish a case. He advised having our leasing agent present at the trial to state statistics, which gave credibility to our claims. Ed Maginnis was responsive to our requests for communication in preparing for both trials. Neither my wife nor I had ever acted as a plaintiff and knew little about the North Carolina small claims court system. Ed Maginnis helped in educating us to the trail and appeal processes. We would highly recommend this law firm. We had a great experience working with both Ed and Shawn and have the highest regards for their professionalism and attention to detail which ultimately won our appeal case.

I highly recommend the Maginnis Law Firm! Earlier this year I was sued for a substantial amount of money. The claim was not justified but, nevertheless, I had to deal with it. I immediately got on the phone and called several attorneys. One of them referred me to Maginnis Law in Raleigh (Edward Maginnis and Shawn Howard) saying that they were the best to handle my civil case. I left a message and within a couple of hours I received a call from Ed Magginis himself who was very easy to talk to and explained the whole process to me. While he didn't make any promises, he was very confident that he could help me based on what I told him. He was very straight forward and honest and I felt I could really trust him to do everything possible to get this situation resolved for me. I hired him and his firm to represent me and I am SO excited to report that it was the best decision I could have made. The case is being dismissed and I can finally move on and stop worrying. If you are looking for an attorney in Raleigh/Wake County to help you with a civil case, your first phone call should be to Maginnis Law! Thank you Ed Maginnis and Shawn Howard!!!

Having never gone through any kind of legal procedure, Mr. Howard made this process as smooth as it could have been. After having months of issues with an employment dispute, Mr. Howard was able to get this resolved within a week. It was difficult for me to even get a response from my employer regarding my wage and hours. Thanks to Mr. Howard's quick action, I'm finally able to have this matter resolved. Thanks again to Maginnis Law and Mr. Howard.

While dealings with legal matters are many times not pleasant as was this one, my experience with Maginnis Law was very good. Shawn Howard and Ed Maginnis did their best to represent my son's estate in a legal system which clearly protects the guilty and further victimizes the victims. They listened when other lawyers made up their minds before ever hearing or understanding the facts. I would highly recommend them.

I HIGHLY recommend Maginnis Law Firm !! They represented me in 2011 in a case against a former employer . I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience as they were very thorough explaining options , answering all my questions, and very responsive. They did everything they said they would do. Both Ed Maginnis and Shawn Howard are VERY knowledgeable about business law , strategic in their thinking , and pragmatic about achieving the best bottomline results for the client as opposed to just accruing attorney fees for themselves. You can tell that they care and have their client's best interests at heart.
