Review

I am a single father who made a horrible mistake, so I paid $1500 to mr Kerrigan to help me through my case. He literally went to court once, and had the case moved to trial and then tried to charge me again. So I paid $1500 to have him go into court and tell the judge it was moving to a higher court.... That is what I could have done by myself. So now I am going to trial by myself because I cannot afford another attorney. Thank you sooo much for doing NOTHING. Keep in mind this is a MISDEMEANOR offense. If he cannot handle it for that money why is he a defense lawyer

Charged with trroristic threats and theft

Mr.Kerrigan Jr. was an excellent attorney, he charge me a fair price and im a single parent on SSD because i am disabled from kidney failure from Lupus and he worked with me money wise so i could pay it off without interest. He took charge in and ruled in the court room and i was soo impressed he mad...e it look easy. He was so good that he got the terroristic threat charge thrown out so i was only convicted with the theft charge that I got 1year ARD for. Months before i was convicted of another theft charge that i got a finde for so if I was convicted of the terroristic threat charge it would have been my 3rd misdemeaner that would of caused me to have a felony and he save my ass big time. I recommend him to annyone with any legal problem with the cops, in my opinion he is one of the best for any case, he is also a very nice polite gentalman and I felt very confident having him represent me.

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.
