Dependable, Thorough, and Knowledgeable Atty Tamika McKoy

Firstly, if you're looking for a thorough, top of the line, dependable Defense Attorney, Tamika McKoy is the answer. She is concise and very professional, all in one. At a time of need, she stepped in with her expertise and was able to achieve the desired outcome that a previous lawyer could not. F...urthermore, I would like to state that there was a lot riding on this case. Tamika went above and beyond to uncover inconsistencies that were prevalent and needed to be heard, which ultimately swayed the case in the right direction. Lastly, I would like to reiterate if you are on the fence in terms of retaining professional council, Attorney McKoy is definitely who I would recommend.

Always on time.

Ms. McKoy has showed up for us in every way possible. We having been dealing with the unfair treatment of the justice system for over 3 years and if it had not been for Ms. McKoy’s representation there is no telling where we would be. We look forward to a victorious outcome and we are sure that wit...h Ms. McKoy by our side we will get the Justice that we so rightfully deserve.

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.
