Highly recommend

My husband and I are highly satisfied with the work that Mr. McKenna did for us. He helped us to sell our house while we were out of town. He was so easy to talk with, called personally when he felt it necessary, is highly knowledgeable and his written communication is of the highest standard. We ...highly recommend Terry as he treats you as though you are his only client and takes a personal interest in your case.

Avvo Rating

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.
