Our Story

Taking on the Cases That Demand More

McCartney Stucky LLC was founded by trial attorneys Terry McCartney and Christopher Stucky with a single mission: to deliver elite-level legal representation in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases — the kinds of cases that require more time, more resources, and more resolve than most firms can or will devote.


Our team brings over 60 years of combined trial experience in complex litigation. We have earned a national reputation for our work in complex litigation cases and particularly in product liability cases involving commercial truck defects, automotive defects and defective consumer products. 


Every case we take is prepared from day one as if it will go to trial — because in high-stakes litigation, preparation is power. We limit our caseload to ensure every client gets the full attention of our entire trial team, and we fight relentlessly to secure the maximum compensation and accountability possible.

  • Relentless Preparation – We investigate extensively, consult leading experts, and build the strongest possible case from day one.

Our Commitment

At McCartney Stucky, we are relentless advocates for individuals and families facing catastrophic injury, wrongful death, or corporate negligence. Our mission is to unite the full strength of our trial team behind every client’s case — bringing skill, preparation, and unwavering determination to take on the most powerful opponents and win.

Turning Complexity Into Courtroom Success

McCartney Stucky was founded on a simple principle: the toughest cases deserve the most dedicated trial lawyers. Our partners built their reputations by taking on  complex litigation that many firms avoid — and winning.


From the beginning, we’ve chosen to focus on catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and product liability cases where the outcome can change a client’s life forever. These cases require far more than legal knowledge — they demand significant resources, technical expertise, and the courage to go head-to-head with powerful corporations, insurance carriers, and manufacturers.

We take a selective approach, limiting our caseload so every client gets the full force of our entire trial team from day one. We prepare every case for court, knowing that trial readiness is the strongest leverage for securing maximum compensation.


Our legacy is built on accountability — holding negligent parties responsible, no matter how big they are, and restoring hope for the people and families we represent.

Justice as a Mission

We see justice as more than a legal outcome — it’s the result of integrity, creativity, and unrelenting advocacy. We know the pressure our clients face after devastating injuries or loss, and we work to alleviate that burden while holding wrongdoers fully accountable.


From engineering reports to expert testimony, we master the facts. From the opening investigation to the closing argument, we fight to protect your rights and secure the compensation that lets you move forward.
