I can not recommend Attorney McMahon enough... Joe's insight regarding our criminal defense case was stellar, and following his advice lead to the absolute best possible outcome. For that I will forever be grateful. His support staff is also amazing... they are kind and responsive which was much appreciated during such a stressful situation.
