McCoy Fatula, LLP

I was referred by an investment firm that stated they had good rates on a Will and Trust for me in my situation. Waiting room had strange vibe with trinkets with firm name in them for sale. Like, who says «oh! I really need that cheap water bottle with my attorney name in it» Ok, so over-​looked that. Meet with main guy. We spoke in general terms about the Trust (sales pitch) and it was $ 500 more than any quote I received. I also has some financial issues regarding past marriage that needed to be resolved. Thought it made sense to do both at same firm. Then a young fella came in in re divorce. He lacked general knowledge had an aggressive take. Fell for that to. That was months ago. Only communication after that was billing notifications that they were taking money out of my retainer. Also some requests for additional paperwork. (I was admittedly slow filling out as I was already frustrated. After a few months of nothing, I got an email that junior was no longer handling my divorce and that Fatula would be handling in personally. Awesome I thought. Again, nothing. Finally I sent an email. Fatula called my quickly, stating nothing has happened with either. He was honest and credited some money back to my retainer. I give him credit here but but sure a star should be rewarded for not reaching the lowest bar. They spend a lot of money in advertisement… Including Unilocal and ESPN. You can make up you own opinions there. I have a meeting set up this week. Sadly, I am still open minded. Worst money I have ever spend at this point. I will update the review when other info is received. Am I a fool?

If I could rate less I would. My ex and I not only had personal assets but a business. My previous attorney was not familiar with the business side so I sought an attorney who «claimed» to know that side as well. The partner who provided me a free consultation talked a good talk. He seemed young, knowledgeable, professional, and a go getter. Well young yes, and go getter for your money. 1^st of all, he hires attorneys with 0 – 5 years experience. I didn’t realize that until my attorney ditched that firm. She didn’t get guidance and was left floundering. I felt she needed help and assumed she was getting it. The new guy looked like he didn’t even shave yet. I asked about his experience and he said he had his own firm and was «in business» for 1 whole year! It just didn’t feel good and my ex was using a former judge, Cecil something or another in Roseville. So I told the young green attorney I would consider using him but wanted to think about it. The next week they called me in and he said he couldn’t take my case because it was too confusing and too much paperwork to read before my next hearing in 2 weeks. Well… I represented myself at the mediation before a trial was actually set. It was scary as hell but I saved money and realized how worthless my attorney was. I negotiated my own deal and feel it was fair and what I wanted. Do not use this Firm. It’s a very emotional time but get a friend who isn’t emotional to help you. Research on Unilocal and other sites before hiring an attorney.

As a small business owner I have been in need of legal advice and representation. I have received perfect guidance with setting up my LLC and protecting my trademark. The thing I appreciate the most about McCoy Fatula LLP is how responsive and eager they are. I have had attorneys in the past who would never return a phone call or email. With McCoy Fatula LLP I get an immediate response. They are very knowledgable in many aspects of law so I will be using them in the future.

McCoy Fatula, LLP is an outstanding law firm. My husband has hired them for several jobs, which have always been done efficiently and to the core.
In addition I found out that they are super dedicated to the community, sharing their time for issues that matter!
We will definitely continue to work with them.

Thanks Steve

These attorneys are only about the money period! I was with them for a year gave them more money for this more money for that and never once went to court. Then once I threatened to let them go if something didn’t happen I was treated like crap and promised more not to let them go. DO NOT GO TO THESE ATTORNEYS !!!

No no no ! Cost me 3K for two forms they filed.

I don’t recommend this firm to anyone going through a family law case. I was represented poorly, billed dishonestly, come on, one quick response to say «YES» in an email will cost you $ 75. The guy even called me on Xmas eve to tell me I had a balance due! Who does that? If divorce isn’t stressful enough these guys will take your money and bill you dishonestly. Staff sucks because I got personal filings of one of their clients mailed to my house. Talk about unprofessional and breach of confidentiality. Don’t waste your money with them. After almost $ 7K my case didn’t go anywhere instead I had to retain a new attorney who has saved me already from paying the child support that was awarded to my ex while I was with McCoy

I thought the plus side of working with small law firms is that they’re more hands-​on and care about their clients. Not this one. The attorneys care more about money than actually working on your case. Don’t come here, they’re dishonest and they only want to talk about money in THEIR pockets.

On Thursday 09÷25÷14, I went to meet with Stephen M Fatula Jr and was amazed by his transparency. He was not only professional and detailed, he took the time and put in the effort to try to give me solutions to my legal problem. He wasn’t trying to gain business wrongfully. I came out of his office with all the answers to my questions and was very clear for the direction I was going to move forward with. THANK YOU, Stephen!

I’d never needed an attorney before and was recommended to McCoy by a friend. I was nervous and honestly didn’t know what to expect. From day one they were extremely patient and informative, helping me along through the entire process. The whole experience of having to go to court was extremely intimidating for me but McCoy took care of everything. I can’t imagine what I would have done without them and though I pray I’ll never need their help again if I ever do they will definitely be the first I turn to.

First off the attorneys at McCoy Fatula are incredibly intelligent and thoughtful lawyers. The partners Miles and Steve take care of all the people who work with and act as trusted advisors through their clients legal situations. I have used McCoy Fatula for my own and have referred clients and friends for their services.
Lastly the negative review is blatantly false. No complaints have been recorded or disciplinary actions have been taken. McCoy Fatula run a great practice and are highly active in the community — in both financial donations and donating time.
