This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Social security disability

Mr. Mcknown was a great lawyer. When we went to court for my disability we were done and I was approved within 5 minutes. This is the second time he's represented me. He also got my daughter approved because of her seizures. I would recommend him to everyone.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lack of due diligence

He was my divorce attorney in 2001. He was more interested in joining a law firm than representing me. But he took my money. I lost everything. My ex is still obsessed. The CASA worker that he did not object to was friends of my ex husbands uncle, The judge did not believe in joint custody. Eve...n though I get my kids every other week. My ex got sole custody. I have no say in there lives. I'm an RN, I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, or sleep around. I'm a Christian. I have been trained to care for critical newborns and the elderly and everyone in between. Due to Mr. McKown's lack of interest. I have had to live with the stigma of having lost custody of my children. For the last 15 years my ex has been using my children as pawns against me. I am still under his thumb. He is dragging me back to court again in 3/16. I could go on and on about the suffering my children and I have had to endure, since my divorce. The bottom line is, he did not give my case the attention it deserved., and my children and I are still suffering because of it.

  • 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.
