Client Testimonials

McCathern Law did a great job with my case. Ty Sheaks along with Asher Miller helped me out of a jam I put myself in and I can not thank them enough. The process took over three years but they stood beside me the entire time.

Ted & Anne Brann

You have a team of dedicated, knowledgeable, and highly competent professionals. McCathern has given us the opportunity to look forward to a better life. Your team is always courteous, patient, and generous with their time and talents where our case is concerned.
A special appreciation of ours extends to Arnold. Arnold is the consummate professional, advocate, and human being. He is tough when it calls for tough. He is compassionate when the situation calls for compassion, but he is, above all, an extremely competent lawyer and accomplished advocate. We are grateful to work with your firm.

Colin Cornett

Ty Sheaks and Jesse Showalter were wonderful throughout the entire process of my case.From the beginning they listened intently and provided clear input to help me understand my options, while answering my questions and managing my expectations along the way.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, as their efforts resulted in a mid-six-figure settlement for a serious hand injury. Thank you, Ty and Jesse, I truly appreciate your professionalism!
