Posted by Yolanda | December 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Superb

Attorney McNair is a kind, caring, dependable and extremely knowledgeable professional. My situation pertained to a wrongful, workman's compensation related, termination. I made contact with Attorney McNair because I felt like I was being harassed by my employer. The free consultation was impressiv...e . I was terminated a few months later and immediately hired Timothy. Attorney McNair made it possible for me to obtain a major surgery and medical treatment . He negotiated two settlements on my behalf that were life changing . During the entire process he kept me informed and my mind at ease. Everything was done in a timely manner on my behalf. My life is better now because of Attorney McNairs professional and personal service. He honestly cares about his clients.

Americans with Disabilities Act

Mr. McNair advocated for me on an ADA matter and was quick to respond. He stayed in touch with updates in a timely manner as well. Would highly recommend him to those facing employment issues or labor law questions.

Excellent Legal Representation

Atty. McNair has represented my wife and I in several legal matters. He has always been straightforward, honest and open with us. The work he has done has been excellent and I will continue to use his services in the future. In addition, I have, and will continue to recommend him to people in need... of legal representation.

very professional and efficient.

I've worked with Tim for numerous years and have always been represented in a very professional and competent manner. I feel very comfortable knowing that he will not squander his time or my money billing me for work that was really not required. I also feel comfortable knowing that if Tim thinks the... work might be outside his expertise he will advise and recommend other avenues. Highly recommended.

Vindicated by Justice

Mr. McNair Advocated for me on my PA Unemployment appeal. My former employer had lied about the circumstances regarding my lay-off. Mr. McNair made sure that all of my rights were protected and eventually prevailed by letting my ex-employer's 3rd party benefits administrator know that our defense was... willing to go to the mat.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
