Highly skilled with the strongest integrity

I have found Jennifer to be the most competent, reliable and trustworthy attorney I have ever worked with. In Missouri trust is earned, not given away. Jennifer has earned my explicit trust though consistently displaying her skilled craft to help untangle prior legal issues we had with a trust/estat...e. She has proven herself to be a tremendous asset for myself and my family. She always makes sure I have a holistic understanding of the situation so I can make an informed decision. I could not give a stronger recommendation of competency, availability and trust.

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.

Amazing attorney!!!!!!!

We couldn't be more thankful that we hired Jennifer's legal services to handle our grandmothers elder abuse case that involved both nursing home abuse and family abuse. She was honest, caring, forthright, and extremely strong when having to deal with the nursing home, family matters, and the reportin...g of abuse. She also made sure the transition out of the facility was as quick and smooth as it could be considering the horrible circumstances. We, as well as our grandmother, are grateful, and would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone for her expertise, tenacity, and compassion.

Extremely knowledgeable of probate law.

Jennifer helped my husband and me with a probate situation. She was methodical and stayed right with us to get the probate issue done efficiently and quickly, giving us terrific advice. We would recommend her to anyone...she is professional, yet very kind.

Estate Documents

Ms. MeKenna is a lawyer with heart! From the moment we had a need to update my father's Last Will & Testament, Durable Power of Health & Directive, and Power of Atty documents, Jennifer was expedient, sensitive, and professional. She was able to meet with my elderly father quickly (he had a medical... emergency) and he was as impressed with her as I was. She was assuring and kind and left us totally at ease, which in those critical moments, were as important as her legal knowledge. I am confident that his affairs are now in order and I can rest assured that everything is accurate and ready when that time comes. She went above and beyond making sure we had all we needed, including email versions of our documents for easy access. She called several times to check on us and dad's condition. Her warm compassion and the excellence with which she conducts business will make her my number one referral to family and friends. I plan on using her in the future! If you are looking for an Estate Lawyer that cares about YOU, look no further than Jennifer Jo McKenna! She outshines the rest!

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.
