Don't waste your money

Very expensive for very little results. McKenna did very little to fight for what I wanted in my case, yet she charged a buttload. Please, for your sake, find someone else.

Best attorney ever!

I have worked with attorneys and trained students entering law school, but I have never encountered the level of compassionate professionalism before that I encountered when working with McKenna Cox. Whenever someone seeks legal counsel s/he is usually in a complex, tricky, and potentially painful si...tuation. People trying to manage difficult, even nightmarish, events need to contact Ms. Cox immediately. Don't do "it" alone when you could have an advocate and compassionate person at your side. Let's me put it this way: if my mother were in trouble, Ms. Cox would be my first call.

She went above and beyond, I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Cox was awesome and her staff was very friendly. She took the time to explain the law to me and made sure I understood the whole process, all while charging me an extremely low fee. I was really impressed.

Great Divorce Attorney

Ms. Cox really knew her stuff. She advised me what to do, how to protect myself, and made sure I got the best deal I could given the facts of my case. She was kind and patient and kept me from going crazy during a really difficult time in my life. I have sent others her way.

Immigration lawyer | Jun 15

Relationship: Co-worker

"It is hard for me too limit myself to 1000 characters when describing the level of service offered by McKenna Cox. McKenna is one of a kind. Not only can she successfully navigate many cases at once, she does so offering the best level of representation and personal service to each client. I am consistently amazed at how she is able to know so much about each individual that walks through her door and care so much at the same time. I highly recommend McKenna Cox for matters involving immigration, family law, civil litigation, and other miscellaneous personal matters."

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.
