100% of WINs for our First Responders.

Excellent Lawyer with decades of experience and dozens of wins. I hired him back in the 1990's to fight for my Job Related Hypertension. One of the first cases in Virginia. He won it easily. I have referred him to several dozen Virginia First Responders and he won them all. Our Fire Fighters, Parame...dics and 911 Dispatchers appreciate him greatly. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Proven Best Friend to Virginia's First Responders !!!!

Our organization has been utilizing Michael Kernbach's office for over 35 years. He has worked dozens of workers compensation claims over the years and has won every one of them. From minor injures, to disability. Cancer claims, Heart and Lung Claims, Disease Presumption and assisted with many person...al claims as well. Mike has also assisted the Virginia Professional Fire Fighters in writing legislation to enhance protections for Virginia's First Responders for nearly 4 decades all Pro Bono. Virginia First responders owe Michael Kernbach a great deal of thanks.

Useless

He seemed eager to take my case but then probably realized he couldnt make much money on me so he stopped there. I filed the appeal myself and did work that his office was supposed to do. I didnt hear from him for months except when i owed him money.

Not recommended

After hiring this attorney for a workers compensation matter Kernbach failed me greatly in my case. Communication was terrible. He is not an aggressive attorney, when I needed help and things got tough he treated my case like a side job. In short, he did a half job. I strongly recommend that reader...s of this review do not hire this attorney.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!

He kept very poor communication with me. I spent all of my time in dealing with him talking to his secretary. He came to my hearing unprepared. Had no confidence to begin with and talked about what to do if I lost. When I got my decision, it looked like the file he turned in didn't even have all the ...information I had given him. I don't trust him. I think he is knowledgeable in law but I think he gives that attention only to higher priority cases. I have never had such a terrible attorney. I would go elsewhere. A lawyer that doesn't communicate well with you is never a good thing!!!!
