McAdoo Law Group, PLLC

Attorney M Mcadoo has now wasted a total of $500 on consultations with this attorney, and I can say without hesitation that it was a complete waste of money and time.

In 2023, I initially contacted this attorney regarding a workers’ comp/retaliation claim, which I ultimately handled and closed myself under a 90-day Right to Sue letter — because the attorney never followed up and had to be reminded about the case when he did respond.

In 2025, I came back to this attorney for an urgent and serious matter regarding my 84-year-old great-aunt, who is now in an unsafe discharge situation from Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center. I was forced to obtain Court-Ordered Guardianship after the hospital banned me as her closest advocate and has consistently blocked access to full medical information, records, and discharge planning — all while her condition has significantly worsened (documented by APS, DHHS, and myself).

During this paid consultation, the attorney asked me multiple times “what do you want me to do” — as if I, the client, should be responsible for designing the legal strategy. I paid for legal expertise — not to be asked what legal remedies I needed, which is exactly what I was paying to be advised on.

Most disturbingly, the attorney actually said:
“Why not just let her go to the facility? You don’t really need to know the exact reason. And if she’s perishing, that’s the best place for her.”

This statement is absolutely unacceptable. I am the Court-Appointed Guardian — it is my legal duty to know her condition and needs before agreeing to placement. The attorney entirely dismissed that obligation and treated it like an annoyance, despite me documenting:

No proper discharge plan
No PT/OT clearance
No wound care plan
Medications called in without consent
APS and DHHS both unable to obtain proper records

My own legal right to participate in the discharge plan being blocked by the hospital

Rather than supporting my position or offering strong legal action to stop an unsafe discharge, the attorney suggested I should simply let the process go forward blindly — with no clinical picture and no protection for my loved one.

Frankly, I should never have spent another dollar here. This consultation was a complete waste of money, and this attorney clearly does not understand or prioritize protecting vulnerable patients or standing up for Guardians in complex healthcare cases.

If you are in a situation involving elder care, Guardianship, unsafe hospital discharges, or patients’ rights violations, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. This firm provided no meaningful assistance, asked me what I wanted done (when they should know the law), and in the end offered the worst possible advice — to simply let an unsafe discharge proceed without proper documentation.

Complete waste of money, extremely disappointed. Would not recommend!
