My company will only work with John McKinley in consumer actions.

After having worked with outside counsel aroundd the country, John McKinley is one of the best. John is not only an expert in consumer law, he also understands the business implications that may arise as a result of litigation. Litigation is always something that our company wants to avoid, however..., litigation is infinitely less daunting with John at the reigns of a case.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have the utmost confidence in John's legal ability, judgment and discretion. John and I worked together for over ten years on numerous matters and the results were always good. John's personality enables him to disarm difficult opposing counsel and engender cooperation from reluctant witnesses. If I or a family member were sued, I would ask John to be our attorney."

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.
