Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. David was very helpful on the phone and provided a lot of legal advice on how to deal with my landlord.

Mr. McCarthy helped me with my landlord issues with just one email and a few text messages. I highly recommend contacting Mr. McCarthy

He did everything wrong. I came to him for assistance with a small claims matter; I was suing my former building manager and property management company and had no idea how to go about doing it. I came to him for legal advice because he is a lawyer. He put together all the paperwork on the spot and that alone should have been a red flag. I thought he would want to review the complaint information I brought along before putting together the lawsuit. I hadn't planned on spending HOURS in his office while he put this thing together on the fly, but that's what he wanted and he charged me about $600.00 that I had to pay on the spot.

When I got home and reviewed it, ALL the paperwork was in error: he put in incorrect dates, incorrect names, left one of the main parties out of the lawsuit altogether, used the wrong penal/legal codes, left out critical information, etc. It was a disaster. I corrected the errors I could find, returned the paperwork to him for corrections, and he STILL gave me back incorrect paperwork! I had to proof-read and return his work THREE TIMES and it still wasn't right! That is not what I was paying him for because I am not a lawyer; I don't know this stuff.

After the 3rd batch of mistakes I gave up and used what he gave me as a template to create my own lawsuit...and I won...sort of. He gave me the wrong penal codes!! So while I proved my case, the court wasn't able to grant me money because he used the penal code that only applies if the landlord enters your home without permission or something along that line. That was not the situation in my lawsuit, so even though I won, I wasn't granted any money. I am not a lawyer so I didn't know which penal code is which; that is why I went to him. I told him what happened at court and instead of filing a correction--a possibility that I was unaware of since I am not a lawyer--he just said, "Oh well." He made no effort to correct his mistakes and didn't even tell me correcting it was possible bt filing a correction with the courts!

It was the court's small claims legal adviser (a FREE service) that told me that I could file a correction and what paperwork was required to do it. Going to Mr. McCarthy was a waste of time and money. He is utterly incompetent.

David L McCarthy is extremely professional. He was there for us in a very difficult time, we were being bullied by our management company. Our needs were not being met by our management. we felt very vulnerable, David stepped in and quickly and effectively helped us get all of our problems fixed. We are a low income family and he was very affordable and efficient. I would recommend David to any renter who is having problems with there management/landlord.
