Fischer, Bessette, Muldowney & McArdle, LLP
Malone Litigation & Appeals Lawyer
Overview
John Muldowney, for over 25 years, has focused his practice as a trial lawyer on civil litigation and personal injury. A member of the prestigious Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, John has obtained numerous verdicts and settlements exceeding one million dollars.
John has handled litigation that ranges from complex products liability to medical malpractice, including cases involving car and truck accidents as well as construction litigation. Examples of prior cases include a products liability case where he obtained a verdict of $2.7 Million in favor of the Firm’s client; a motorcycle case where he obtained a settlement in excess of $1 Million for the widow of a law enforcement officer; a motor vehicle case which he settled for over $3 Million for a young man suffering catastrophic injuries; and a construction litigation case where he recovered over $2 Million for a school district due to defective construction practices.
Though extremely adept at negotiating a case, John believes effective negotiating strength comes from the ability and willingness to fight for a client through trial and verdict, if it is required. By following this principle, he has recovered millions of dollars for his clients.
A graduate of Princeton University and Albany Law School of Union University, John also acts as the managing partner of the Firm. He resides in Saranac Lake with his wife Sally. They have four children. In addition to his work responsibilities, John is also a volunteer football coach at St. Lawrence University.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
