McCarthy Law Office is an estate planning and probate firm rooted in Cincinnati’s Westside.
We help families make important legal decisions with greater clarity and confidence. You will find straightforward guidance, personal attention, and a team that believes in treating people the right way.
You are more than a file number. We take the time to listen, understand what matters to you, and build a relationship based on trust and respect.
Estate planning and probate can feel complicated when everything is new. We explain your options in language that makes sense, so you understand what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next.
Every family is different. Your legal plan should reflect your relationships, goals, property, and concerns instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all approach
Strong relationships, hard work, honesty, and treating people fairly are values that have long defined Cincinnati’s Westside. They also shape the way we serve every client who walks through our doors.







Dan McCarthy has practiced law for more than 20 years and founded McCarthy Law Office in 2015 to build a practice centered on personal relationships, clear guidance, and practical solutions.
Today, Dan’s practice focuses primarily on estate planning, probate and estate administration, and trust administration for families throughout Greater Cincinnati. He helps clients understand their options, make thoughtful decisions, and create a clear path forward for themselves and the people they care about.
Dan has been recognized as an Ohio Super Lawyer each year from 2019 through 2026. He is also active in the Greater Cincinnati community and serves as Chair of the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission in 2026.
Dan’s approach begins with listening. He believes clients should understand not only what is being recommended, but why it matters and how the process will work. That approach reflects the values of the Westside community where the firm is rooted: relationships, hard work, straightforward communication, and treating people the right way.
Outside the office, Dan and his wife, Christina, are raising their family on Cincinnati’s Westside, where they are connected to the local schools and community organizations that shape this part of town. Dan also enjoys running, including full and half marathons, and following soccer and local sports.
McCarthy Law Office also represents select individuals who have been seriously injured because of another person’s negligence. We intentionally accept a limited number of personal injury matters so that each case receives the attention it deserves.
