Attorney McCoy was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He was easily accessible and returned my calls when he was out of the office. He was a good listener and communicator. He was very helpful & easy to talk to.

Attorney McCoy has represented me in a variety of cases. He is extremely empathetic and practical. He is trustworthy as well as compassionate. When my 1st husband unexpectedly died, Attorney McCoy remained on the line with me until someone got there and could be with me. I will forever be grateful. Don't mistakenly misconstrue compassion for weakness. He's professional and he cares.

William McCoy is an extremely intelligent, motivated, thorough attorney. He has extensive knowledge and experience that have come from years of practicing law. He has also developed the contacts in the legal system that one needs to keep the case at hand moving steadily through the process. He returns calls promptly and has no problem answering any questions one might have and some may not like this but he gives it to you straight so you know exactly what you are up against or what to expect.

This review is based on my experience and it is my opinion. I hired Attorney William McCoy to represent me in my divorce. I would say that hiring Attorney William McCoy was the biggest mistake I ever made. His lack of diligence and competence cost me 50% of my disability annuity and other damages totally nearly $100,000.00. I didn't know it at the time, but he has been disciplined by the Bar. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone.

I hired Attorney William McCoy to represent me in my divorce. This review is based on my experience and my opinion of this lawyer. Other clients might have a different opinion. I do not claim to speak for others who have used this attorney, and can only speak for myself. With that said, I would say that hiring Attorney William McCoy was the biggest mistake I ever made. His lack of diligence and competence cost me 50% of my disability annuity and other damages totally nearly $100,000.00. He failed to have my ex-wife do an Interrogatories and Product; therefore, we had no way to know what she was going to claim when this case went to trial. He did not present evidence that we had that would have drastically changed the outcome, nor did he use an expert witness, who was also a former federal agency, to refute claims by my ex-wife. It was as if he was representing my wife rather than me. On that subject I would like to advise those conside

Unethical, uncaring 1.0 star Posted by Tracy August 26, 2017 This attorney backed out of representing me the DAY before my hearing, leaving no chance of me finding anyone else, AND after promising to return my retainer, cashed it...$1,000 to leave me stranded..I will be contacting the bar association next!
