Happy

Jennifer helped my husband and myself draw up a living trust. She answered all our questions. She was very professional and knowledgeable and she help us feel comfortable talking with her.

Legal expert

I have just completed creating a revocable trust with my lawyer Jennifer McKenna. This daunting task was made achievable because Jennifer is both a consumate lawyer and a caring professional. She took specific desired outcomes and created legal means to fulfill those outcomes. She provided time to... discuss, consult, and refine legal documents. Her assistance was professional but highly personal to my needs. I would highly recommend her to those searching for outstanding legal service.

Small Estate/Will

I hired Jennifer after calling five other probate lawyers. She was the only lawyer I felt that could handle my dilemma. She did an excellent job, so I hired her to complete my will. She went above my expectations. I have recommended her to my family if they need to do a will as well.

Wonderful Attorney!!!!

My friend passed away and left me is charge of her estate. I had no idea of what to do. Thank goodness for Jennifer McKenna! After I hired her, my mind was put at ease. I am very impressed with how knowledgeable, organized and efficient she is. She has taken care of everything to do with probate co...urt, investment accounts and creditors. She did her research and is working very hard to get the best possible outcome for me. She keeps me informed on a regular basis and explains what is going on. I highly recommend Jennifer and will hire her again if the need arises.

Wills and Estate Planning

My wife and I had a very pleasant experience getting our Estate planning issues ironed out. Jennifer McKenna was recommended to us by a friend and I feel very fortunate I followed his advice. We found Ms. McKenna to be very friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. She was patient to a fault and... voiced issues that had not occurred to us. The end result was a very professionally put together portfolio. We heartily recommend Ms. McKenna to anyone looking for an Estate Planner.

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.
