Posted by Chris | July 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Arrogant and dismissive

Max was my lawyer on a case where I was the co-plaintiff. Over a period of two years I called and emailed him and his office to find out the status of my case. In that time Max responded once but only when I copied my personal lawyer on the email. Otherwise nothing. He refused to answer even the ...simplest of questions. Questions like "has our case moved forward"? or "do you need anything from me"?. I had to go to PACER and pay for court transcripts to find out what was going on. Be careful. I don't know what I did to receive this treatment. You may not either.

A True Stand-Out

Mr. Kennerly handled a small matter for me several months ago that settled out of court, and I was extremely impressed with the service he provided. Knowledgeable, readily accessible and honest as all get-out. One of the best lawyers I have encountered, highly recommend him.

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.
