McCormick & Vilushis LLC - Erie, PA

I cannot recommend Doug McCormick and this law firm highly enough. My mother was involved in a devastating, near life-ending car accident in which the other driver was determined to be 100% at fault. My mother’s life has been forever changed because of that accident, and our family needed an attorney who understood that this was about far more than simply resolving a case. Doug McCormick was that attorney. I have worked with attorneys for the past 12 years, so I have a fairly strong sense of what good legal representation looks like. Doug stood out immediately for his professionalism, his directness, his respect, and the fact that he was good to his word in every way. Most importantly, he treated my mother like a person rather than simply a client or a case number. There were times when Doug checked in with her simply to ask how she was doing - not to discuss the case, not because he needed anything from her, but because he genuinely wanted to know how she was doing. That meant an enormous amount to both of us. Doug fought for my mother and ultimately secured the settlement she needed and deserved in light of how profoundly this accident has changed her life. Throughout the entire process, he communicated clearly, treated us with respect, and did exactly what he said he was going to do. After working with attorneys for more than a decade, I can say that competence is important, but character matters just as much. Doug McCormick demonstrated both. He showed compassion, integrity, professionalism, and a genuine concern for the person he represented. I would recommend Doug McCormick without hesitation to anyone who needs legal representation. If I ever have a legal matter in Erie that falls within an area Doug practices, he will be the first attorney I call without question.

Attorney Chad Vilushis represented me in a very challenging criminal matter, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Chad was direct, factual, and realistic about my case, which I truly appreciated. What really set him apart, though, was his ability to understand the emotional toll this situation took on me and my family. He was compassionate, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process. Chad worked incredibly hard on my behalf and used his impressive skill set and legal knowledge to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. If you are looking for a lawyer who will truly represent you, advocate for you, and understand you as a person—not just a case—Chad Vilushis is the best choice in Erie.

I immediately felt better after my consultation. Not only was Attorney DePalma professional and thorough his kindness and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I was never rushed he took the time to listen and clarify all details. He gave realistic outcomes and went over all possibilities. I trusted his judgment and recommendations from the beginning and once the case was closed it was confirmation that he was 100% honest and although I had prepared for the worst he facilitated my outcome being exactly what I was hoping for. As long as he is available I would absolutely recommend his expertise and would not go anywhere else. 5 stars is not a high enough rating.

Attorney DePalma is a great attorney that works in the villushis law firm and I highly recommend him to anybody. Helped me in a criminal matter and it was resolved to everything I could ask for. This is a great young attorney that is very knowledgeable and can get it done. This guy is great.
