Mr.McGuire is my family attorney has helped me and my family in multiple matters. Including criminal charges dropped down to violations for my brother and my father. We have been using Mr.McGuire for 7 years and since then everytime we have any issue we call him for help. Always recommend to anyone in need of an attorney!
For many months I was very stressed because my tenant was not paying rent or wanted to leave. He was working and refused to pay me. I didnt know what to do and I met up with Mcguire. He was very professional and we started the process. He helped me get my peace back. The girls upfront were always so Nice and professional. They understood my frustration and were always very patience and polite. Joanna and Karen kept me updated and were very helpful. Very humane treatment and not another client.
The girls are wonderful and so is chris. he was very kind to my family and knew how to handle my speeding tickets. this is the second time they have given me the outcome i’ve wanted. their office is also very clean and beautiful. this firm is great for your legal situations
100% recommend. Everyone was so helpful and I was always informed about the details of my case. The communication was amazing. Chris explained everything really good and gave me a great outcome. The girls there were also very understanding and friendly over the phone.
I recommend this law firm 100%! Mr McGuire was very professional and so was the staff. The girls upfront are very professional and very communicative. From the beginning to the end of my case they were always informing me about what was going on. This law firm is exceptional!
I’m changing my review to zero stars!!!!!The customer service and how the representative treat you and speak to you is unacceptable! The girls that answer the phone are very rude and never answer a question properly always with an attitude! It’s crazy how nice you were when you are soliciting my services but once I retained your services I’ve experienced the absolute worst treatment and have zero confidence my case is being handled properly!!!! Be aware stray far away from this practice they only want your money they have no value of you or your car they just want a check I repeat start away!!!Chris the owner is great from the first phone call to our first face to face. Chris was professional patient and compassionate. This office really cares about its clients and their quality of life to be their best self. Thank you so much for being there when Shen no one else was. If your looking for representation that actually cares about their clients then you have found them.
I hired these attorneys to fight 3 traffic tickets. I feel like they were less than transparent, they omitted honest information during consultation, and subsequently, I was extremely displeased with the overall outcome of the most severe ticket. The other 2 are still pending. I will update or edit this review at the conclusion of the latter 2 tickets.
This is a top flight Law Firm which handles all services. I’ve used there services multiple times throughout the years and have always gotten the results I’ve wanted. Everything is laid out for you and throughly explained and they handle it in court within a few days, followed with follow up emails and calls to make sure your completely satisfied. I have referred multiple people here and I’ll continually refer friends and family here.
I hired McGuires office for a criminal & landlord tenant problem after getting into a little situation with my tenant who enjoys being a pain.He was able to resolve my criminal matter with no problem at all AND without me going to court. He also sent my tenant a notice and he left rather quickly after receiving it. Im really thankful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone with criminal or tenant problems.
I had the best experience with Christopher McGuire and his incredible staff. He’s extremely knowledgeable, truthful and extremely efficient. At no point did I feel like he was just taking my case for the money. He plainly laid out what to expect from him and his team before hiring him, and he exceeded my expectations by going above and beyond of what he offered. I was especially pleased by his Assistant, Alva, who stayed in touch and was easy to reach whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my case. Not once did I feel underrepresented or misguided. I’m so grateful for him and his staff and I would recommend them to anyone who’s seeking legal representation.
Recently I was charged with 3 traffic violations which resulted in 11 points on my license. My mother advised me to get a traffic lawyer. I was a little hesitant because of the expense however, I decided to go forward with it. I did some research and found this office and pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Not only where they able to get my violations reduced to parking tickets, they also managed to get me NO POINTS. Astounded by this information, I thanked my mother for advising me to go forth with a lawyer. Thank you so much to Chris and his entire team, they are phenomenal. If you’re facing traffic violations and are looking for the best results, please contact Chris!
I found myself in some trouble and called Mr.Mcguire . I got represent by Mr.Bennet and Mrs.Pelaez and was very happy with the outcome on my case. Every step of the way Mr. Bennett always made sure I knew what was going on and helped me feel at ease and not worry about anything. Always recommend to my friends and if I ever find myself in trouble again won’t hesitate to call them again.
I cant say enough about this law firm and would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Staff was pleasant, welcoming and accommodating. You dont often experience this when you visit an office. I also did not have to wait long to see Mr. McGuire. During the initial consultation, he answered all my questions, and gave me great advice. He was clearly knowledgeable, experienced and confident and I felt comfortable knowing I was in good hands. Mr. McGuire was great from start to finish and I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone seeking legal help. Thank you McGuire, Pelaez & Bennett!!!!
When I needed the professionals and help with my issues, they were there!! I cant say enough about how great these people are. Initially met with Mr McGuire and he was personable and explained things to me. Mr Bennett was my attorney for court. I am humbly in debt to him for his assistance. I recommend this firm for all traffic related issues!!! And Andrea at the front office is a friendly and professional young woman who is smart was so helpful and informative. This firm name will always be told to people needing help, God bless
I was looking for an attorney to represent my case. Upon several conversations with friends the name of McGuire, Pelaez, and Bennett was the recommend firm. I scheduled an appointment for a consultant. Upon arrival the staff was friendly professional and extremely knowledgeable. I met directly with Mr. Christopher McGuire. I immediately felt as if I had made the right decision. Mr. McGuire took the time to assure me that he would do everything in his power to rectify my situation. If you are looking for the Best when it comes to legal representation please look no further. Mr. McGuire is not only an attorney but also served as a judge and prosecutor. His firm is extremely reputable and I assure you will be in great hands.
I retained the services of the law firm McGuire, Pelaez & Bennett for traffic tickets The attorney receive a no point low fine non criminal disposition and I did not have to appear for any court appearances. This firm is highly recommended they were prompt efficient and are always available to assist with any questions.
Went there for a personal injury case. Got into a pretty bad accident but was able to get something positive out of it. Upon arriving I sat with Chriss assistant, she did my intake and then I sat with her and Chris. I signed up and later on during the week I sat with an attorney they work with and it felt good knowing they were confident in my case and i had a lot of attorneys working on it. I ended up getting a really good settlement check, everything went smoothly and i appreciate how hard they worked for me. I recommend for everyone to go here. Theyre great.
I was referred to this office by my uncle. There office is very nice and easy to find, close to the criminal court. I went for a free criminal consultation and sat with the managing attorney and his assistant. Chris listened to my problems and made me feel at ease. He then took me to go talk to another attorney who would be the one handling my case, his name was Brett. He spent a lot of time with me and explained exactly how the criminal process works. We resolved my case with a sealed record which is perfect because of my job. It was also reasonably priced which was helpful. I would honestly recommend them to anyone who askes and would go back anytime I have a similar case or anything at all. Thank you once again
I recently had some problems With the town. I received about 7 to 10 town violation tickets. I was way over my head and in need of serious help. I search local lawyers in the area and this office came up I called and quickly got an appointment. The young lady that answered the phone was very polite, courteous and informative. I met with Christopher Mcguire he was very nice and listen to my venting about how crazy everything was making me feel. He got me a very favorable offer that I could not deny and my fines were very low. He also got me contact with an expeditor who made the process much easier to. Would definitely use them again for all other matters. Thank you Chris
The office is very nice ! and everyone in the office was even nicer. The front desk girl was patient and helped me fill out some paperwork. I sat with Mary who handled my family case start to finish. Mary took her time with me on our first appointment and everytime after. The office was very helpful and informative. They called me the day before court to remind which is good ! I really appreciate the hard work Mary put into my case.
My multiple experiences with these attorneys and their staff have all been 5 star! They are professional ,responsive, knowledgeable, polite and get me and my family results! I recommend them highly, especially Daslin Castillo. She is on top of everything and goes out of her way to provide the best service!
This business is the best of the best. I am amazed on how the girls that work there are so good at their job. Especially the girl that attended me her name was Merlyn she attended me with such a positive attitude and was very professional. I am glad that chose to come to this place.
My husband and I recently sold our home and bought a new one. Mr. McGuire did such a wonderful job coordinating both closings to make sure everything went smoothly and as seamless as possible. He was attentive to detail, responsive to our calls and emails, and turned a potentially stressful situation into a great experience. I would recommend this office to anyone seeking an attorney.
Went to the office on a personal criminal case. First thought was that the office is very nice looking, the women in the front are very professional, polite and work fast to try and get everyone seen in a reasonable time. I initially sat with the head attorney, Chris who told me about my case and what would possibly be the outcome. He also answered all my questions and made me feel better and not sooo stressed out about what i had going on. He then brought his partner, Brett who does their criminal cases. I felt comfortable hiring them knowing I had two attorneys working on my case and also knowing that they had a lot of experience. I sat with Brett once there was a reasonable offer and we decided it was best for me. Brett was there with me in court every single time and always tried to help me and look out for my future. The retainer fee also wasnt as expensive as i thought it would be which was helpful for a young guy such as myself. I would return for any other problems but im just hoping i wont have to ! LOL
While in the process of having my money refunded to me by my previous attorney, I called this place. Chris the owner called me right back and told me to come in the next morning after I explained my situation WITH NO MENTION OF A CONSULTATION FEE! 33 minute ride, time off from work, to get there and have the secretary tell me she can schedule me for another day. What a joke. Just another law office looking to scam the working class.
Dear Madeline and staffI would like to say that I appreciate your excellent and professional services that youve provided to my daughter and I. You are very helpful and highly knowledgeable with the landlord tenant process. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well.Madeline, have always been attentive and caring to our situation in which I greatly appreciate. Your professionalism code of conduct in my eyes on a scale from one to ten is a ten. I want to also thank you for informing me of the proper steps that were needed to get our situation properly rectified. Im so thankful and grateful that Mr. McGuire have you and the young ladies in the front by his side and in my opinion would never have to have any worries on how you conduct business. I look forward to conducting even more business when we purchase a house.SincerelyJoyce Hamlett
A+++++ The best in the business! I found myself stuck in a sticky situation and came across this law firm. Boy did they help me get ALL my tickets reduced!!! I can’t say enough good things about McGuire , Pelaez, and Bennett! If your reading this review and are in need of a lawyer please don’t look any further and give them a call!
I had several suspensions on my license and came here for some help. I sat down with Chris and his assistant, Daslin. I ended up retaining for a license restoration case. Daslin helped me through out the way by calling the DMV and helping me fill out all applications and telling me what needed to be done and paid. I also sat with their traffic attorney Brett, he helped me find out all of the open tickets i had in traffic court and let me know how to pay them. I was able to get my license back and it happened pretty quickly too ! Will definitely go back if I ever have any other problems.
I had an extremely pleasant experience with everyone in the office , the whole staff was friendly. Christopher McGuire was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. He was able to answer all my questions with regards to my case and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them.
The law firm of McGuire, Peláez & Bennett PC was extremely helpful in helping me fight my speeding ticket. I could not be more pleased with their legal representation. They were responsive and extremely helpful in helping me understand how they would handle my case. I will be referring this firm to my friends and family.
I went in and sat down with Mr. Bennett for a traffic ticket earlier this year. Mr. Bennett was very helpful with explaining how he would fight my ticket. He handled everything effectively and efficiently I didnt have to worry about a thing. I definitely recommend this law firm to anyone who is in need of help.
I want to start by saying, im very thankful to the firm for their kindness and patience. I was very nervous and chris was able to calm me down and reassure me that everything was gonna be alright and it was. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Just want to add i was facing 11 pts on my license and I decided to go to court and Brett won my case.
Great people they help me the same day, i got a problem with identity theft case and they worked with me with no problem, but before that I went to another firm and without reading my case they ask me for 15,000 dollars and 5000 dollars downpayment for me that was incredible so I went to McGuire and they resolved my problem same day for 500.00 dollars then I understand not every law firm is willing to help you, for all you people instead of going some other lawyers that they only want your money with no results, i will recommend to come here and get the job done
My son who is in special education and I had a Superintendent hearing due to a disciplinary action at his son.I was extremely anxious and confused on how to handle this situation.I spoke to my sister and she referred me to McGuire, Pelaez and Bennett.Mr. McGuire guided us before, during and after the hearing. He made dramatic changes into my sons disciplinary action which helped my son gain back his self esteem and confidence to excel at school.Thank you Mr McGuire
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM...They are so unprofessional, they dont communicate with you even though you are paying a lot money to them, they dont care about you as long as they get the money.. They gave me one price and said that covers everything and then they asked for more money. The first time we went to court the attorney left someone else in charge, this person left court without saying anything to me and they rescheduled the court date for no reason. They didnt listen to what I wanted and they made the whole process longer for no reason because they didnt care.(of course no matter what happened they were still getting paid)
I reached out to Mr. McGuire for a Landlord Tenant matter. Mr. McGuire was able to get me a better result than I expected. I am absolutely thrilled right now. I am very thankful for the generous price that he charged me. I would like to thank McGuire, Pelaez & Bennett and his staff for al of their support through this difficult time.
After months of trying to settle a dispute between myself and one of my tenants I hired Mr. McGuire. I could not have expected a better outcome! He and his staff addressed the situation and thankfully we were able to resolve everything quickly and peacefully. Thanks to McGuire and Pelaez!
Words can not describe how well of a law firm this is! I feel as though I’m presenting an award at the Oscars, I’m SHOCKED, at the level of professionalism and results Chris McGuire delivered on my behalf it was regarding a Landlord & Tenant case. Not only was this man able to SAVE my rent & late payments, but he got me an extension since I had notified him I would be leaving my landlord’s house by the end of August he got it to where I can be here for 5 days LONGER, and if I was to still be here after the extension NOTHING would happen!!! After I had been a client of a previous law firm of Hedayati Law Group, I had 2-3 attorney’s represent my 2 cases. I was highly dissatisfied with the results, and now I will make a call first to Chris McGuire’s law firm regarding anything I have coming up in the future they will be my first go to! I’m also going to be contacting Chris McGuire’s law firm regarding to handle my 2-3 cases that I had hired HEDAYATI LAW GROUP for originally, but they added ridiculous fee’s they booked a low rate, but yet their lawyers book a lot of hours, not only that but they mismanaged my cases, and all my paperwork I gave them they are withholding my files from me. Even after I had told them I no longer want them as my law firm, they refused to provide me my files! They are BULLIES & CROOKS!!!! Which I’m pretty more than likely sure, I have a case against them!!! The managing/owner of Hedayati Law Group- is Persian, he will lie like a Persian rug, Al Hedayati is his name. That law firm of Al’s they purposely mismanage clients cases so the client spends more money to get it FIXED! CONSUMERS BEWARE, never trust a Persian rug, don’t contact HEDAYATI LAW GROUP!!! Chris McGuire’s Office comes first & foremost they treat their clients with the uttermost respect & dignity! Justice will be served!!!!! All Paperwork served or done to you will be voided with this law firm!!!! 5 THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!
I cant thank mr Mcquire, Madeline & their staff enough 4 all they did 4 me, they made me feel like family, gave me an affordable price, and won my eviction case on the first court date....this was a nightmare tenant and it was a very difficult time 4 me, and the court date was on my birthday! The best present I ever received!!!! Thank u!!! Rhonda DePietto
I needed help with a speeding ticket upstate and they were able to assist me and guide me to reduce my points. Their staff was amazing! Very helpful and respectful, any questions I had they always answered with a good tone and very informative. Thank you guys so much!
I would highly recommend this law firm. They helped me with my town violations and were able to get me enough time to fix my basement and pay my fines. I’m also very thankful I didn’t have to go to court because the wait there is always so ridiculous and I didn’t miss work. Thanks again
I have been using McGuire ,Palaez & Bennett P.C. for 25 years and have always had excellent results . I have used them for criminal , family court and all my real estate needs . I highly recommend this firm , I would never use anyone else . I have never been unhappy or disappointed with my outcome.
Great law firm My son was arrested and I needed a lawyer immediately I called around 3 am to my surprise my call was transferred to an attorney which granted me an appointment at 8 am he put me at ease and we were able to be in the court room with legal representation
I wouldnt even give them a 1 but it was the only way I could leave a message. These people dont return you calls, very unprofessional, look how they response to reviews, you never response to a negative review by actually talking about someones case. So unprofessional.
Called and asked them specifically if they would take on a appeal , told them I was traveling very far to get there and if they could consult over the phone they said no come in and we will take care of you , I get all the way here and they said they don’t do appeals , what a joke , don’t waste your time with this place , the communication sucks , and she claimed some one called me to cancel the appointment , when no one ever did , thanks for wasting 45 minutes of my time with 4 kids
Mr. Chris is very respectful and appreciates many of his clients. I came here for a ticket and he was able to take it from me. The girls there are very nice and always give me the necessary answers. Many thanks to Merlyn for always helping me and giving me the information I needed on my case. I highly recommend them

2022-09-07Rip off. Wanted $2500 for court. I ended up handling it myself in 2 days. Thank God I didnt give them the money I would have been so mad. 2500 to file a petition that was finalized in 1 additional court date. They do a flat rate system so if it takes 6 months or 1 day u pay the same amount. It was a family court issue, not even criminal.

2020-02-21Mistakes can, and will happen in life, sadly this was the case for our family late last November.Seeking proper legal advice and legal representation, at an affordable cost, we began scouting the internet as early as December(2018).We saw a few options closer to our neck if the woods, but none seemed to impress us more than McGuire, Pelaez, and Bennett, which was very accommodating over the phone, and also offered us a free consultation!My husband went in for a meeting with Mr. Bennett, who would eventually become the first lawyer he ever retained, as well as the first legal representation for him.Mr. Bennett was very reassuring from the very first meeting, experienced, straight-forward in laying it all out on the table, trustworthy, and took on our case with maximum care/concern.From that day of a free consultation, my husband came home feeling he was in the right hands, and that his case will be handled well, and a successful outcome would be ours.We kept in touch with our lawyer via phone and email, and he went to court and things unfolded for the best, just as he had said.Our case went before the court, and we had the best possible outcome we could have hoped and prayed for, thanks to this amazing law firm.This has been a fruitful relationship for us, and we highly recommend you, or anyone out there to seek out this firm as the right professional organization, trained, caring and tried and proven law firm to represent you.It is worth it.My husband has been one of the law-abiding bidding, disciplined and careful persons I know, but one driving mistake on the road could have turned a nightmare for our family.Thanks to McGuire, Pelaez, and Bennett, we were spared the worst.
