Traffic Violations

A run in with R.P.D. left me with an “obstruction of justice & reckless driving charge”. Mr. McGrath took my case for a reasonable fee, he instructed me on what steps to take for my defense & kept me abreast of the status of the case, including a bad offer made by the prosecutor. The obstruction case was dismissed & the reckless driving reduced to “improper driving” with the option of taking driving school to clear my record. Mr. McGrath will handle your case personally, he is not a slick, high profile, high priced lawyer. He is a one man operation & a damn fine one at that. I would highly recommend Mr. McGrath’s services for DUI, Traffic defense & also individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle collisions,etc.

I was devastated when I got the news that my son was arrested for DUI. I was concerned about his future and was afraid he would have a huge setback in his career. Thankfully, he contacted Mr. McGrath who not only represented him in the most professional manner but with a deep caring and kindness for my son and myself. His confidence and knowledge of criminal law is superior. We walked out of the courtroom with a much lesser sentence than a DUI conviction. I will forever be grateful to him.

Joe is very professional and knows his stuff. He also is extremely easy to work with and handles your matters as if they were his own. I was arrested this summer for two charges (felony hit and run and driving on the revoked) and reached out to Joe to help me. Joe listened to the facts in my case and helped me get a result that allowed me to stay home with my family, keep my job and stay felony free. If you are looking for a great lawyer, Joe is your guy.

I was scared to death after getting my first DUI. I just knew my whole life from that point on would never be the same. I contacted a few attorneys and none gave me any hope. Pretty much told me what I was gonna lose when convicted. Thank Goodness for Joe. He listened to me, heard my side of the story and put together a defense that got me a "not guilty" verdict. He is amazing he cares about his clients and their future. Would recommend his services to everyone I know.

Joe Mcgrath is #1 on my list of attorneys for any matter but this was the 1st time for personal Injury. Well, thank God I did! I had never sued or been sued before and didn't expect much from this. I was in a pretty serious accident for which I was not at fault.. I went straight to Mr Mcgrath's office from the hospital and he advised me on everything. He gave me updates when anything happened. It took app. 6 months but Mr Mcgrath settled for 5-6 times what I had imagined originally!!

Joe was recommended to me by another attorney who stated "if I was charged with a DUI, I'd hire him myself." After our initial consultation I immediately put him on retainer. He asked me detailed questions of everything that happened leading up to my arrest and after. He watched video with me and explained things to me throughout. With his help I was able to plea down a DUI to a reckless driving charge

Joe represented me in my DUI and Hit and Run case that I had on 11/9/13. The case was continued 5 times. Each time he was well prepared and helped me get closer and closer to the plea bargain that I needed so my professional career could stay intact. I was at fault and he treated me with respect and dignity. He helped me deal with my life situation in the best possible way for my case and myself. I would recommend him to family and friends if they were ever in need of his services.

Having to go to court is a stressful experience. Joe McGrath took much of the anxiety out of said situation. He was kind, considerate and patient with a nervous client. He took time to explain what was happening and what to expect. He stayed in contact prior to my day in court and was responsive in a timely manner when I would call with inquires. Even after the judgment went down and he was free to leave me to my own devices, he continued to represent my interests and was able to mitigate my sentence post ruling. I thoroughly and unhesitatingly recommend him if one is in need of legal counsel.
