Annabelle was wonderful

Last year March 2023, I had a slip in fall on my job. I was recommended to Gordon from a friend that used his services once before. I contacted him and was very happy to have Annabelle represent me on Behalf of Gordon. She updated me as needed. Guided me to all of my options step be step.

Amazing Process

Words cannot describe the appreciation and gratitude I have for my attorney, Misti Bryant, with Gordon Mckernan Injury Attorneys. I cannot imagine going through this process without her. I never thought I would need an injury attorney, as I always think I can handle things myself. But my accident lef...t me with injuries, chaos, and lack of urgency/care from insurance companies, which prompted me to reach out to Misti. I knew I was in over my head and needed help. Once she took over, all I had to do was focus on my injuries and healing. She handled everything, and explained every detail of every step during this process. Her main concern was always how I was feeling. I felt such relief knowing she was handling the legal side of things. She was always available for me and always answered my questions. Most important - she is kind and understanding. Special shoutout to her amazing and kind assistant, Suzanne. I am forever thankful!

PERSON

I had the pleasure of working with Coburn Burroughs after a car accident that left me with significant injuries and mounting medical bills. From the moment I contacted his office, I knew I was in capable hands. Coburn and his team were incredibly professional and empathetic throughout the entire pro...cess. They took the time to explain every step of the legal proceedings, ensuring I understood my options and felt confident in the decisions being made. His knowledge of personal injury law is extensive, and his strategic approach was evident in how he handled my case. What stood out most was Coburn’s dedication to getting the best possible outcome. He was always responsive to my questions and concerns, and his commitment to fighting for my rights was unwavering. His negotiation skills with insurance companies were impressive, and I was very pleased with the final settlement. Not only did Coburn achieve a favorable result, but he also made a challenging time much more manageable with his compassionate and personalized approach. I would highly recommend Coburn Burroughs to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer. His expertise, dedication, and genuine care make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking justice and compensation.

Annabelle was Amazing!

I’d like to thank the GM family with a special thanks to Annabelle Manning for assisting me in this time of difficulty. Getting injured while on the job was a frightening experience but Annabelle walked us through every step and explained every process in terms that were understandable. She returned ...every call and was patient and compassionate throughout this entire process. She made this time of being off work more manageable. I would recommend her a thousand times over!

Devin Guidry - “ Top Notch Notary”

Mr. Guidry was a very professional and informative individual. I have used other notaries in the past, but Mr. Guidry went above and beyond any past experience I’ve had. He engaged in informing me of required information to have to ensure a successful outcome. He was well planned and professional, ...and will be recommended highly. Thanks again to Mr. Guidry.

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.
