Five Stars for Kevin McGee

Kevin was the third lawyer to represent my wife and I in a Chapter 7 filing that dates back 3-1/2 years. The first lawyer, from Southbridge, closed his practice before filing our Chapter 7 petition. He recommended an Auburn lawyer, Rose Clayton, who took our case and over the course of a year and a ...half ultimately left us hanging. When she was suspended by the state Board of Bar Overseers, the lawyer disposing of her practice recommended Kevin as someone who might get the job done. That was absolutely the case. Kevin was thoughtful, insightful, knowledgeable and upbeat throughout giving us guidance and instruction that ultimately resulted in a successful discharge of our Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. I give Attorney McGee an unqualified highest possible rating.

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.
