The peoples Lawyer!! Justice served.

This Attorney is Manassas' best kept secret. Hired him to help us resolve landlord issue best case scenario to try to get it dismissed ..... he won the case for us recovered attorney fees and got our deposit back plus damages. He restored our faith in the justice system.

Not Detail Oriented

The biggest problem that I had with Mr. McKennett's representation was that he was not detailed oriented. He was great at communicating, great at being responsive, and helpful when it came to the larger details. He failed to know the specifics, which hurt the case a lot! He failed to research specific case laws, or have the right people at the trial and quite frankly I spent too much money for him to miss specific information that was extremely important.

Good lawyer, but did not go into specifics.

Pros: fast to respond, easy to communicate, helpful general advise Cons: did not go into specifics of my issue.

Though, the situation, and your description of your experience, does not sound familiar, we would be happy to talk to you about your issue and will attempt to make sure that you are pleased with our representation.
