CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
JC and Matt at MacElree Harvey help with several contracts and disclosures we needed for our business. They took the time to educate us on changes to make us comfortable throughout the process. Cannot recommend enough.
I’ve used Caroline on 3 separate occasions and she has always came out on top for me in the best possible way. She takes her time, does her homework, and you feel that she cares. She has helped save my future, and she could help you do the same! I would give more stars if possible.
Our company was dealing with a very difficult client and we needed expert legal assistance to navigate the challenges we faced. Brian was referred to us after we were underwhelmed by our initial attorney. Brian and his firm were professional, fair and provided exceptional service. He helped us navigate through a difficult case and we were pleased with the result. From learning/conveying the specifics of the case to timely followups and helping us understand what to expect, Brian exceeded our expectations. I can recommend Brian Forgue most highly and without reservation. We will be using him again for future needs.
From the beginning of the initial contact with John, he has been more than understanding, caring, kind and thoughtful of the situation that we have endured now approaching two years to get our security deposit returned. John went above and beyond with us to ensure that we were treated with respect and closed our case with a positive outcome. If you need an attorney, I highly recommend to call John without a doubt. Thank you John for everything you did for us to finally have a resolution!
As a single professional woman, I was looking for a new lawyer to update important documents, appropriate for my stage of life. A dear friend suggested I met and speak with Steve, who was her lawyer. It meant having to get a friend to drive me 40 minutes away. It was the best investment of time & gas I could have made…and I made myself a lifetime friend.
It was difficult finding a lawyer to handle our zoning case. Some lawyers did not return my phone calls and others were indifferent. We were so happy to find Matthew McKeon. He was always friendly, informative and patient. Matt showed a deep understanding of our personal situation and showed empathy during this difficult time. He discussed the pros and cons of our situation and helped us decide the best course of action. I would highly recommend Matt McKeon!
