My experience with my lawyer
I loved working with attorney ward. He went above and beyond to get me the settlement he got for me. Our communication was good and every time I call him if he wasn’t there he would return my call

My family has used Gordon McKernan on three separate occasions. We wouldn’t have been able to handle the insurance issues, medical bills, etc. it made a tough situation a little less stressful. Thank you, Gordon!
