Confident, knowledgeable,would definitely hire again

Mr Kernan is a good example of the attorney you wish you would have called first. He is the man that gets results without the static. I Had a serious traffic violation that carried 4 points that would have destroyed my clean class A CDL for at least four years. Would have disqualified me for the loca...l job I currently enjoy. A dismissal like it never happened was more than I thought was possible. Thank you again Mr. Kernan. With out a doubt this lawyer knows how to get the results you wish for......

DWLS “NOT”

He is a wonderful Lawyer, my license was revoked for five years he noticed that I had a suspended driving while license suspended with knowledge to them but also noticed that I had during my license to spend it without knowledge so we went to court and fought it He got my license back a year early. ...Thanks Rodney!

Comprehensive and Professional Representation

Rod Kernan represented me in a DUI level one case and was attentive and relentless in the pursuit of a fair result, my violations were dropped down in all areas. I would highly recommend Kernan.

Rodney Kernan did an excellent job in a difficult situation

Rodney Kernan represented me in a traffic case where the judge was ready literally ready to lock me up and throw away the key. Due to Mr. Kernans representation, rather than being arrested, I was fined with a non-moving violation, and must attend drivers safety school. He truly kept me out of some se...rious trouble and surprisingly to me only got me a slap on the wrist. This was my first experience with him and without a moments hesitation would recommend him to anyone.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I do not hesitate to recommend Rodney when asked by prospective clients for a "good" speeding/traffic attorney. He provides affordable, effective representation for those pesky, and sometimes very serious, legal matters. Give it to Rodney and get back to life!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Rod is a great attorney, and a great guy. He and his wife (Shara) are excellent criminal defense lawyers. It's hard to believe that Rod and I worked for Joe DuRocher's office together probably 10(?) years ago, and now we still work together on numerous criminal cases. Rod comes with my highest recommendation. I will continue to work with Rod on cases as long as he'll have me!"

  • 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.
