Hired Attorney

Mr. McELHINNEY got my son out of some real serious trouble, to the extent he was looking at prison time and it was unwarranted. Bad police investigation almost sent my son to prison, thank God Mr. McELHINNEY is the attorney that he is. Needless to say everything came out ok because of excellent representation. My family and I owe a debt of gratitude that is immense to this man, God bless him.

Hired Attorney

Mr. McEhlinney showed a troubling lack of professionalism, outsourcing work with little communication, producing no meaningful results, and demonstrating clear conflicts of interest. His history reflects ongoing misconduct and unpaid obligations, and he often responds to criticism with intimidation rather than accountability. One only need look at the peer reviews by other attorneys to understand why you should refuse his council.
