Contacted this law office at the end of July. Sent all my documents over as requested via email: no response. As of today (October 4), I've called 4 times and there has been no progress or follow up. Absolutely wild behavior.

Attorney Ed McCormick gave me untrue and provably false and legal advice before and during divorce proceedings that also had a domestic violence component ( from my spouse to me ). He repeatedly told me not to make complaints to police department about my husband’s behavior, that resulted in some dangerous and avoidable incidents. The police ( when I just went to police and reported these incidents) arrested him and he cannot come back to the house. I believe that Attorney McCormick was actively working against me . He endangered my physical safety and also my eventual financial settlement . This man is dishonest and a liar . Do not engage him .

If I could give zero or negative stars, I would. Ed was hired through the Metlife Legal Plan services and I feel he dragged his feet purposely on a boundary line dispute to continue getting paid from the insurance plan. He was horrible at follow up, taking weeks to answer questions via email and barely put effort into the reply, or he would take weeks to return a call. After a few months of working on this case for me, ad due to circumstances changing in my personal life, I needed to sell my property quickly and literally had to beg him to call me back to discuss. He was rude, told me essentially that I had been peppering him with "thousands of emails" (which was not the case), for "just a fence" issue. He was immediately fired and I have an attorney now who is attentive and responsive and provides updates without me asking for them. Please stay clear of this man at all costs, even if it doesn't cost you anything out of pocket. You couldn't pay me to hire him again. If he were over capacity, the decent thing to do is to tell someone you do not have the ability to take on anymore cases...especially if you feel it's beneath you for a "little fence" issue...

Hired Ed to handle a relative's estate. Awful does not even begin to describe this guy. No follow up on ANYTHING, provided the same documents over and over, and any time I did ask, God forbid, what the status was on my case, I either got crickets or a nasty, defensive answer. His support staff are even worse.

The lack of communication is beyond unprofessional. Unanswered phone calls, unanswered emails, and a paralegal named Susan who says he's in court all the time and too busy to respond. This has been going on for months, to the point of me sending certified letters. I plan to report him to the RI bar for violating Rules of Professional and find another attorney. For context, I'm a landlord and Ed was given a judgment to collect upon and he is useless. Do NOT use this attorney for anything that matters. He neglects clients and I suspect he's incompetent.

Have worked with Ed a couple different times on business and personal matters and he was helpful and responsive and told it “like it is” so that I could understand the realistic outcomes to be expected and those were the outcomes so I would recommend to anyone.

I highly recommend Ed, I've worked with him for nearly 20 years. He has helped my clients achieve their goals for probate, estate planning, divorce, all family matters selling real estate. He has been extremely attentive to the clients needs in stressful times. I have found Ed to be hard working and detail oriented in all matters. Thank you Ed!

😂 try NOT to use Ed and his rude secretary if possible! If you are not a certain color or ethnicity, the treatment you receive is not the same as others! Just observe before you sign for him to represent you. Another lawyer confirmed my family was entitled to mortgage payment credits during their divorce which Ed failed to establish. The judge after their Nominal hearing confirmed as well! Thanks Ed

Ed McCormick does not communicate in a timely fashion, nor does he listen to client's requests. I did most of the research and paperwork for the case. Conversations/emails are defensive when inquiring about the status of a case.

I retained Mr. McCormick for my legal representation in 2021-22 "against" my siblings concerning my Mother's estate (mainly the house that I lived in). He was always professional and was experienced with our situation including the family squabbling. Even though he grew weary of "our battle" he helped me pull through the ordeal with me ending up buying the house. He knew from the beginning that is what I really wanted. I would recommend him. Thanks Ed.
