  • "Great lawyer"
    Great lawyer. Never hired a lawyer before so I was nervous. Bryan was cheaper than the other lawyers I called. He answered all my questions. I went to one court date and got only fines and court cost. Hopefully don't need to, but would definitely use again, and recommend. Thanks Bryan

    Mr. McCarthy and Ms. Harris were as professional, responsive and informative as I could have hoped for throughout this entire process. I was treated with respect and transparency from the front desk through the closing of my case, and left each interaction feeling more relieved and confident than before. Most importantly, Mr. McCarthy delivered on what he promised me at our initial consultation. For all the above reasons, I am genuinely grateful that I was represented by Mr. McCarthy and the Law Offices Bryan J. McCarthy.

  • "When I had my free consultation with him, I was blown away. His professionalism, intelligence, and character is everything you would ever want in a lawyer. "
    I had never previously been in an ounce of trouble; not even a detention in high school. When I learned that I had been charged with a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of five years of imprisonment, my life flashed before my eyes. I as stunned and shell-shocked by the experience. When I was contemplating my options on a public defender or a lawyer, my friend, who had been in trouble recently, recommended “The Savior” (at least that’s what I call him now!) Mr. McCarthy! This man knows what he’s doing! When I had my free consultation with him, I was blown away. His professionalism, intelligence, and character is everything you would ever want in a lawyer. Bryan knows the law inside and out to the point where once you leave the office, you’ll be gaping with eyebrows raised and say to yourself, “Wow … I’m impressed.” Needless to say, I felt ten times more comfortable coming out of that office than I did going in. When consulting with him, he utilized the perfect blend of realism and reassurance to let me know of my potential outcomes while simultaneously restoring my peace of mind. I felt that I could live worry-free after hiring him. Oh, and guess what?! After his dedication to my case, I learned about a month later that the charges were COMPLETELY DROPPED! You read that right! COMPLETELY DROPPED! I was so thankful that I looked up into the sky and shed tears with my mom’s arms wrapped around me, and it was all because of Mr. McCarthy. This man made the continuance of my dream to pursue teaching possible! Whatever you are looking for in a lawyer, I guarantee you!! Mr. McCarthy is the man! He is “The Savior!”
