Best Attorney

I have hired Mr. McKendrick in the past and he has always exceeded my expectations with my case. If you are looking for a attorney who will go above and beyone for you this is your guy.

A rare find for an Attorney!

I have hired Rich McKendrick as my attorney in the past and I would hire him again. Anytime you can find an attorney like him no one else compares. Honestly, not only did I have him as an attorney but I work in the legal community as a non-attorney, and whenever I ask about Mr. McKendrick to another... attorney the response I always hear is, “Oh Rich, he’s a good guy. He’s one the few honest and great attorney’s out there.” Sometimes this remark has come from a few attorneys who they themselves have a less than perfect reputation. The fact is that there is no denying it; people who know him, work with him, or have hired him, know that he is an excellent attorney and an honest man. I think it is just as important for other attorney’s to have a favorable opinion about your attorney because in my experience the other side is more willing to work with you and not drag out the legal process. There is a big difference between this and being part of a “Good Ol’ Boy” network that you frequently encounter is small communities. Mr. McKendrick is clearly respected by his peers but his loyalty is to his client first and foremost. I know from my experience of being one of Mr. McKendrick’s clients that he goes above and beyond. He makes himself and his staff accessible practically 24/7. I don’t know of any other attorney who does that. His fee is more than reasonable and very competitive. He is a very sharp, wise, and an intelligent attorney. He is patience, a good listener, sincere, and is truly dedicated to your cause and getting you results. He is also flexible and willing to work with you and your situation, definitely more accommodating than any attorney I have ever met. My advice is always ask around about an attorney you are thinking of hiring and when you hear something negative about them try to find out what the whole story was, a lot of times when someone has something bad to say about their attorney there is more to the story that they aren’t telling you. I haven’t ever heard or seen anything with his conduct that would lead me to believe otherwise. I would be cautious to jump to conclusions if I did, because when it comes to an attorney like Mr. McKendrick his standard is a much higher one than most people today are used to practicing themselves, much less encountering it in someone else. There is nothing underhanded about what he does and he is completely upfront with you. I highly recommend this attorney!

Knowledgeable and committed

Mr. McKendrick helped me in a difficult situation. He even took my calls after hours and worked out a resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend him.

Helped through a hard time

Mr. McKendrick took calls afterhours to help me and my family in a Landlord dispute. He was effective in dealing with the situation, and calming the nerves of all of us as we found ourselves in an unexpected situation. He knew the law and the limits of what could or could not be done, kept me updat...ed on the proceedings and was able to take a huge headache off of my hands, and support me through it. I would recommend him as an attorney who will be there to help, listen to any issues that you might have, counsel you as to how to proceed and then fight for your interests.
