About

John McCarthy is a trial attorney whose practice focuses on representing motorcyclists and their families in serious injury and wrongful death cases. Motorcycle litigation is the core of his work, including cases involving catastrophic injuries, fatal crashes, disputed liability, and entrenched bias against riders. John operates a low‑volume practice so he can remain personally involved in case development, investigation, and trial preparation from the outset. His approach emphasizes early investigation and preparing cases as if they will be tried, even when resolution occurs before trial. In addition to his motorcycle practice, John has experience handling select wrongful termination matters involving retaliation or serious misconduct. John represents clients in matters arising in Wisconsin and California and maintains jurisdiction‑specific practices to address the differing legal standards applicable to motorcycle injury litigation.
