Reasons to Get Gordon

I was very pleased with Gordon McKernan and associates.! I feel that they really went to bat for me. I feel they listened to my concerns and where in constant contact with me. I did not have to call them. Everybody that I spoke with was nice polite, professional, courteous, and were there to answ...er any questions, I may have had. I felt comfortable enough to call them anytime I did have a question. My attorney Richard Zimmerman made me feel like I was part of a family. Ok Most conversations with him would start with him asking me how I was feeling and if it was anything that I needed before we would even start conversation about my case. I would recommend them to anyone because they work hard on your case, & they deal with the insurance company so you don’t have to.

Great experience

First time ever having to deal with a lawyer for an accident and it was very pleasant! Katie explained everything to a T to me and told me the worse case scenario’s. She was up front with me about the whole process. I loved how Meg would call and check on me to make sure I was doing alright. It was ...beyond a 5 star rating!

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

Greg Murphy went above and beyond to help my mother after her accident. Greg had great communication, and kept us updated every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Greg to family and friends. We were very happy with the outcome of her case, Greg made the process very easy for us.

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.
