This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend

Warner handled an unforeseen real estate issue I had. He made me feel comfortable and confident that he would be able to fight for my side of the situation. That is exactly what he did. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case.

Employment Law

I had an initial phone call with Warner to discuss the situation andand explain what I was looking for. Warner helped me understand his services and squeezed me in the next day. We discussed rates and services. The next day Warner was on time, had reviewed necessary materials, and was prepared to... discuss. I wouldn't hesitate to use Warner again in the future.

Great Job

Mr. Mendenhall represented my interests in an action brought against my employer and myself by a terminated employee. I can't praise Mr. Mendenhall enough for the professionalism that he displayed during this process. His experience and background allowed him to deal with the politicians and at...torneys who were involved politely and professionally, speaking both languages with equal finesse. A noticeable change was evident in the room each time that he entered, as it was evident that behind the smile was a person to be reckoned with who did not like to lose. Equally important to me, was the fact that when Mr. Mendenhall spoke, others listened, and it was apparent that he was well respected by the other attorneys involved. In the end, it turned out that Mr. Mendenhall was the only one who was actually looking for solutions. When communication broke down between the other attorneys, it was Mr. Mendenhall who brokered the final agreement that resulted in a satisfactory ending for everyone involved. To my satisfaction, both my employer and my employers three attorneys complimented him by saying that without his assistance, it was doubtful that the matter would have been resolved without litigation. My experience with Mr. Mendenhall's representation was extremely positive and I would highly recommend him.

Look Nowhere Else if you Need a Pit Bull

My wife and I retained Mr. Mendenhall's services when my employer--a major public university--denied my wife in-state residency status to which she was entitled. Retaining a well-known attorney to fight for us resulted in a favorable, expeditious settlement in federal court. We highly recommend W...arner Mendenhall if you need a pit bull of an attorney who will fight for your rights.

Not prepared

Never got with me about my case,I take that back, he did call a day before hearing and wasn't prepared at all except to take a deal.I met him at his office to go to hearing, when we left the hearing he didn't have money to pay for parking, what did he do with the 3000.00 I paid him.I now know why you... should never trust a lawyer. I would not recommend this lawyer!

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.
