I don’t know how many lawyers who handled a case that stretched over a decade and was a positively reviewed, but let this be a first.The amount of fortitude it takes to hold onto a case for that long and not consider it a loss, or to move onto something more exciting and financially feasible. He often fought my case outnumbered ten to one lawyers in the courtroom, literally. The courtroom looked like it was on tilt at times and he never blinked or wavered when it came to the facts as they stood. Kind of like you have one pick of the guy or gal you want with you in a dark alley but the court room version… I am sometimes an abrasive and impatient type person and he understood the pain and anxiety I was in when it came to my case and body. He never held that against me and always had time to listen to my worries or fears when it came to my case. Things take time, understand that. But when it takes getting to the root of the issue that mr Maggs won’t let up and treated me like family
Thank you for the feedback. We strive to do what it takes to get the job done no matter how long it takes. We are glad you had the confidence in us to see it through. Hope you are well!

Working with Maggs, McDermott & DiCicco was a VERY POSITIVE experience, after being referred by a friend (& also briefly trying to work with another firm that was rarely available or communicative with me). I was VERY SATISFIED with the “Team” at Maggs, McDermott & DiCicco. They walked me through and explained each step of my case in a very organized way and made my situation seem simple and clear for me to understand. They kept me up-to-date regularly, which put me at ease. Maggs, McDermott & DiCicco treated me with compassion & utmost professionalism! Maggs, McDermott & DiCicco has gained my TRUST! They are a firm that really cares about YOU! Thank you Maggs, McDermott & DiCicco for solving my case!
Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy we were able to help and that you were satisfied with your outcome. Should you need anything in the future, please do not hesitate to call us!

Thank you for your review! If you should need anything else, please don't hesitate to call the office.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
