Our Reviews:
Katie McNultyJanuary 23, 2023I highly recommend McDevitt Law Offices, as I had such a wonderful experience working with Ron Cobb. He is extremely professional, transparent, caring and responsive. In particular, I appreciated the patience he afforded me and his thoroughness throughout the process. I fully trusted Ron with my case and felt confident every step of the way!
Scott FiskeJanuary 21, 2023You never think you’ll need a personal injury attorney, until you need a personal injury attorney. Thank goodness we took the recommendation of Dan McDevitt and his entire team at McDevitt Law Offices. Dan has the perfect combination of compassion, understanding, coolness and calm in what was an extremely trying and turbulent time in my life. Nobody wants to be the victim of someone else’s negligence, and Dan knows that. Dan’s reassurance and thorough processing kept me and my family informed, and positive for the duration of litigation to a very fair settlement. The same can be said for the entire staff. Truly professional all the way. Hopefully if you need representation you will have found this before calling an unknown face looking down at you from a billboard. If you’re here, take the next step and call Dan McDevitt. My recommendation indeed. -Scott Fiske
CanaLover420January 11, 2023In August of 2021 my life forever was changed when I was riding my motorcycle home one morning and a man drove right into me and knocked me into a coma with a fractured spine and in critical condition. During this time my wife, mom, family were devastated with the news and possibility I wouldn’t make it through my injures and if I did with the possibility of long term injuries. But I woke up and with the motivation of my son soon to be born I started walking and getting myself on a path to recovery. During this time, my mom found Dan and reached out to him for help on many aspects of my accident. He drove down to the hospital and spoke to her in person, and when I regained my senses, met with me outside of his office to understand the processes that are to come. Him and his team truly went above and beyond to help me understand the different stages of my case. And all in all with a W in our favor and I couldn’t thank him enough. You’re the man Dan thank you so much
Lynn GomezJanuary 10, 2023When a mother is faced with a tragedy of life threatening injuries to her son, the last thing you want to have to worry about are the legal end of things. McDevitt Law went above and beyond to be there for me during the worst time of my life. Dan McDevitt, I cannot thank you enough for being there for my family.
Tiffany KelleyJanuary 31, 2022I recently worked with Ronald Cobb on my accident injury case and I can personally tell you he actually cares about the people he works for. I couldn't recommend a better lawyer especially if you have an accident injury case. He is very knowledgeable and caring.
Amy GebkaJuly 14, 2021My experience working with the McDevitt Law Offices team is always great! Very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient.
S ShumardJanuary 19, 2021I recently worked with Ronald Cobb at McDevitt on a referral from an attorney my wife used to work with. It was a personal injury case and as this was my first and hopefully last case I ever need a personal injury attorney for I cannot express the level of professionalism, responsiveness, and extreme realism I got from working with McDevitt (more specifically Ronald Cobb) I was told exactly what to expect, how the process would move from start to finish and more importantly updates on progression even when there was no progression happening (due to the nature of other parties involved) I have high expectations when working with lawyers, I was not disappointed at all. I felt that I got almost as much as I should have, but I also felt my lawyer, Ron, did everything he could and got me results while keeping me out of court during a pandemic. I would 100% recommend this firm to anybody who is reading this review. If you want someone who is going to promise you 1 million dollars for some whiplash, keep watching daytime television, they are a dime a dozen. When youre ready for a real lawyer, working for a real law firm, to get you real results, my recommendation is McDevitt. (period)
