Scott and his firm were thorough, attentive and prompt with communication. Scott walked me through the legal process and made sure my questions were answered. I would highly recommend using his services.

I cannot recommend Scott McCarthy highly enough! As an Illinois driver dealing with a case in Wisconsin, I was completely overwhelmed—especially after receiving bad advice from a previous attorney that left me with a plea deal that could have seriously impacted my job. I reached out to multiple attorneys for help, and one after another (including my original representation) told me it was too late and nothing could be done. Not Scott! He took the time to listen, understood the impact this had on me professionally, and immediately got to work. He personally went to court, spoke with the DA, and was able to have the case reopened and the outcome significantly improved—something everyone else told me wasn’t possible. From the start, Scott was professional, kind, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. When he mentioned something might be done later in the week, I expected to wait several days—but he had it resolved almost immediately. For reference, I retained him on Monday and received the incredible news by Wednesday. Whether you're a Wisconsin or Illinois driver, you want Scott representing you. If you find yourself in legal trouble in or around Rock County/Milton, don't hesitate—Scott is absolutely the person you want on your side. Thank you again, Scott!

I used to have a five star for this law office and Scott still deserves that. Unfortunately I hired Maggie the second time and there was zero communication I was the one who had to reach out and even when I did there still was not anything done. Not one court date happened. She wrote up a paper that took 5 mins the first time I was in the office. That was the only time we met. When I asked for a refund it cost me almost 900 for that. So I asked why and never got a response. So I’m very upset. I thought I had a law office that I could trust and always go to. I was wrong.

Response from owner

This is the senior partner, Scott McCarthy, replying. I usually don't reply because we have literally represented thousands of people, 99.9% of whom have been satisfied - many have become friends. I did not reply to a guy last summer who complained Maggie did not get back to him when he knew full well that his case was settled, everything had been drafted, and Maggie was out on maternity leave after giving birth weeks before. I did my best to respond to his calls.<br>Derick - I love ya but you are wrong on this one. I have reviewed the file and call logs. Maggie spoke to you 16 times in less than a month. Most calls were returned the same day. All were returned within one day except the last one when I told you she was in trial. Not one court date happened because Maggie was able to get the mother to sign a stipulation instead of going to court which saved you money. The court refused to sign that stipulation and required Maggie to get the signatures of other attorneys which delayed matters through no fault of Maggie's. Maggie worked diligently on your case as she does on every case. Good lawyers are really busy just like good plumbers, electricians and construction people. We all do our best. I would appreciate it if you would take down this review. Thank you.

Seemed interested and super helpful at first then there was zero communication until I had to follow up to my own emails after a week several times. Calling wasn't much better. Asked for my refund back and she took 550 dollars out when there was zero work done besides the consultation. Avoid.

Just gotta be honest, never had a lawyer before, I don’t know if I want one again, but if I were to, I’d pray the experience I had with Maggie was replicated. From the start she was diligent, attentive, direct and honest. Professional to the core. I really think doing her job aggressively well is what she focuses on, and in doing so, I felt like her representation of me, and her guidance through the process was top knotch, and personal, to my benefit. Thank you Maggie.

Response from owner

Thanks Quinn,<br>Maggie is a zealous, caring advocate, and I'm glad we have her at our firm!

Maggie is absolutely fantastic! I reached out to her for a second opinion, as I felt my current attorney was not supporting me properly. Maggie gave me more feedback, guidance, answers, time, and confidence in an hour long consultation than my current attorney did in months! She was honest with me and wasn’t just after the money. I truly felt she had the best interest of myself and my children at heart. I wish I went with her from the get go!

Response from owner

Thanks; Danielle. There is no need to be anything other than honest with people. Lawyers make plenty of money by just being good at what they do.

Terrible communication. Never reached out to me with updates. I had to call them. Kept sending me more new bills long after all work was complete. Claimed it was a computer error that wasn't billed.

Did a great job getting my custody case going and is still doing a great job. I would highly recommend either Scott or Maggie.

So grateful to have found McCarthy Law. The first time I spoke to Maggie, I was desperate. It was late in the afternoon on a Friday and she talked me through my options. When I called back not long after asking her to explain something again she was just as patient. My case was not quickly resolved, nor was it easy, but Maggie handled it like a pro always there to answer my questions. Thanks to her my son is finally safe.

Maggie and Scott are amazing. Both are very helpful. Maggie is smart, quick and to the point. She does an amazing job managing both the case and my emotions during a difficult time. I appreciate everything they've done for me and would recommend them for any legal service one might need.

Refuses to help take a case against the courts for kidnapping.... Refusing genetic testing is kidnapping... Fathers have rights and these people don't care... There protecting the kidnappers by refusing to help.... Your exact words.... McCarthy worked in the Milwaukee DAs office and Atty. Scott McCarthy was the former Rock County DA, so we take kidnapping seriously and always are willing to help reasonable, kind people through very difficult situations. ^All this proves yall don't care.... You say your willing to help reasonable kind people yet none of you are willing to help 😪... All you lawyers are just scammers. The judges are the kidnappers and obviously the police won't do anything because yall are protected... Point blank you refused to help so of course I'd start to get in my feelings and end the call... This is a serious matter to me and NONE OF YOU WILL HELP... Just like you said serveral times nothing yall can do to help at all so obviously I'd end the call... Meaning you support kidnapping... If fathers had rights my son would be right next to me now not being kidnapped from me and yall wouldn't be willing to help... since you refuse your protecting fugitives making yall just as guilty...

Response from owner

Thank you for reaching out to our office. As explained on the phone, we are not the police, we are not legislators, and we are not Judges. Instead, we are incredibly caring attorneys who are willing to go over someone's entire case for free on the phone and suggest other avenues they might be able to take. We like helping people get to the right office even when we do not practice the type of law they are looking for. We represent hundreds of fathers who obtain rights to their children and agree it is best for kids to have two loving parents in their lives. Atty. Maggie McCarthy worked in the Milwaukee DAs office and Atty. Scott McCarthy was the former Rock County DA, so we take kidnapping seriously and always are willing to help reasonable, kind people through very difficult situations. As stated on the phone prior to you hanging up abruptly, I am very sorry for your situation.

Maggie was understanding and helpful during my stressful divorce process. She fought hard for me and really made sure I got a fair deal. Thank you for everything Maggie!

Scott and Maggie are bulldogs. They fight for the right reasons and do things by the book. They are not afraid to tell their client(s) when they are in the wrong.
