Grateful to the hard-working, consummate professionals at this firm, particularly Edina Strum.
When I engaged her services over 10 years ago I had no idea that we would be still be working together to solve problems. Edina has been a loyal friend, and tireless advocate who has distinguished herself with consistent excellence, exemplary legal knowledge, and a solid commitment to the ongoing well-being and welfare of my children.
I recommend Edina, and this firm, without reservation.

Hands down the most destructive law firm regarding family law. While going up against this firm having a case that went well for me from a financial standpoint, this firm believes in a “scorched earth policy”. Forget every having any post divorce relationship with an ex or even worse the damage the leave behind with children and their parents. My lawyer was able to call all their shots before they even happened. Have deep pockets as they file more unsubstantiated claims just to run up bills. Plan on 6 figures to get through with this firm. They took my ex to almost bankruptcy during all this

I had the worst year of my life and thought I hired the beat firm in town. Turns out the stress from their methods was overwhelming. I read that bad reviews disappear. Let’s see if this one does. When my divorce was final it was so unclear if it is or not. It cost me a fortune in money time and stress. Yes. They did get me divorced but I never received my items from my x and was told I had to hire another type of firm to my personal items back. I never did. Well it’s over but if I had to do it again I would not go with this group. That is my opinion. Horrible.

My sister called to get information for a divorce. She spoke to a paralegal there, Sabrina. Sabrina is an all-star! She was so patient and kind and took the time to explain everything in a way that we could understand. She calmed my sister down after having been served with divorce papers. We have called other firms in town, but no one gave us the 5 star treatment like Sabrina. We highly recommend you call and request Sabrina to help set you up. You won’t be disappointed!

The performance of a law firm is inextricably linked with the Skills and integrity of the attorneys working therein. I have met with Ms. Kathleen McCarthy, the principal of the McCarthy Law Firm. During our meeting, all I see and hear are experience, humanity, skills, integrity, and mentorship. She has seen it all in Family law practice. I am jealous of the attorneys working in her law firm. If the Family law field were a kingdom, she would comfortably be the Queen.

It is with great gratitude and honor that I write this review. From my consultation to the finalization of my divorce McCarthy Law Firm has been a life-saver for me. Specifically, Esther Brilliant. Esther is hands-down the absolute greatest! She has been a constant advocate for me and never backs down. She is reasonable and listens. She has navigated my divorce with grace and consistency. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows the ins-and-outs of it all. She is thorough and her expertise shows. I keep telling people that working with her is the best money I have ever spent. If you need someone

Where is the 10 star icon! Absolutely the BEST! Kathleen, Kayt and Debbie went beyond professional, during this difficult time, they were also support on an emotional level. They are so experienced, I knew they HAD this!! The response to any phone calls, emails was immediate.They truly looked out for me. They are COMPASSIONATE about what they do on so many levels! Believe me, these are wonderful women that will believe in you and understand you, and help you transition in "my language, a healthy, legal way". (And thank you to those in the office, names I do not know, that were also wonderful.)

Kathleen McCarthy and her legal team are absolutely the best!
Throughout the entire, grueling divorce proceedings I felt understood and protected. Kathleen and her team did an excellent job in making sure that the end settlement was one that I could accept wholeheartedly.
I was heartbroken that I was forced into this divorce but am ending up in a better place... of hope and freedom... than I ever expected.
I credit Kathleen, Kayt and Debbie M. for this bright and hopeful outcome!
Did I mention...Kathleen and her team are, without a doubt, THE BEST!!!

I have never written a review for public consumption. I have never been divorced. I called Kathleen McCarthy’s office to schedule an interview for me to decide if I wanted to hire her to represent me.
I came to Kathleen McCarthy's office through a friend that just completed a divorce. Though my friend said she was pleased with her representation she is very bitter toward her ex. She acknowledged that she gave up way more than she needed.
In order to schedule an appointment, i was told I must speak with the office administrator, Dawn. Dawn told me that it was Her, and only her, that gets to
