The Law Firm of John P. Mahoney

DO NOT PAY HIS $500 CONSULTATION FEE!!!

I wish I had read reviews before paying. When we first spoke, it was explained to me that the $500 fee was for a one-hour consultation call. However, that was not my experience during the initial call. I was rushed off the phone within just three minutes and, shortly after, received an email detailing his actual service costs.

Had I known the true nature of the fee upfront, I could have avoided this confusion. Charging $500 for such a brief call, which resulted only in an email about his fees, is not only disappointing but feels like an unfair practice. At a rate of over $166 per minute, I believe this is an exploitative charge, particularly for people already dealing with a difficult situation.

As a result, I have decided to proceed with another law firm that took the time to listen to my husband and me, addressing our concerns and demonstrating more transparency and professionalism.

Took tens of thousands of dollars from me and ghosted me. Missed the deadline to submit discovery documents, resulting in an order to compel and possible sanctions. Stay away from this firm, I am not the first person they have done this to. Check the DC Bar attorney discipline page, you will see their history. You are better off paying your drunk uncle to represent you.

$500 consultation fee for 15 mins on the phone with him. Told me general info on the disability retirement process that's available online, didn't even ask to look at my records. I could tell he was only interested in litigation and basically said I would be on my own during the application stage. I need someone to help me get the application approved, not interested in suing which can take years. Also could hear him doing work while he was talking to me which shows disinterest. Must be easy money to him.
