Dan made my estate planning so easy! First, he helped me to decide that I didn't need a Trust, and then told me what I did need. After I gave him the information he requested, I went back to sign what he had prepared. Not only did I get a copy of it all, but he sent it to me in PDF format so I could download some of it to MyChart. He also took care of filing different documents where they needed to go. And ... he is really a nice guy with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend him to make an easy job of your estate planning.Posted on Google![]()

Mr. McCarthy is really easy and comforting to work with! Knowing nothing about how the law works; to work with a man who is knowledgeable and explains how things works in "civilian" language is extremely important! Will most definitely recommend his services to others, as a matter of fact he was referred to us! Will continue to let others know!Posted on Google![]()

We recently worked with Dan for our family’s estate planning, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Dan was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain complex legal terms in a way that made sense to us. The entire process was seamless and professional. If you’re looking for someone to help protect your family’s future, I highly recommend talking with Dan."Posted on Google![]()

I’ve referred several clients to Dan for their trusts and estate planning, and he’s always been amazing to work with. Super knowledgeable, easy to work with, and really cares about helping people protect what matters most. Highly recommend!

I started McCarthy Law Office because I believe legal guidance should feel personal, clear, and grounded in trust.
I have been practicing law since 2002 and have been licensed in Ohio since 2004. In 2015, I opened McCarthy Law Office with a simple goal: to build the kind of practice where clients are treated like people, not file numbers.
Our office is rooted in Cincinnati’s Westside, and the values of this community shape the way we work. We believe in strong relationships, hard work, straightforward communication, and treating people the right way.
Estate planning can feel like something that is easy to put off. Probate can feel even more overwhelming when you are already dealing with the loss of someone you love.
My role is to make both processes easier to understand.
I will take the time to listen, explain your options, and help you make decisions that fit your family and your goals. You do not need to know all the legal terminology before you walk through the door. You just need to know what matters most to you.
We can take it from there.
During your scheduled complimentary 15-minute phone call, we will learn about your family, your concerns, and what you want to accomplish.
We’ll explain your options, build a customized plan, and lay out the flat fee up front so you know what to expect.
Once your plan is complete, you can feel good knowing you have taken an important step for yourself and the people you love.
