Hired Attorney

Mr. McCartin has been my attorney for more than a decade, and I am well pleased with all the work he has done for me. He is very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He responds promptly to emails and telephone calls. He handled the settlement of both my mother's and my husband's estates. He has prepared my will, my healthcare advanced directive and my power of attorney. In addition, he has prepared my tax returns annually since 2005. I recommend him highly with no reservations.
