Best Attorney and firm

I was in an accident involving a 18 wheeler accident. I knew immediately that I needed to hire an attorney and a firm with experience in big truck cases. I called attorney Gordon’s office of Lafayette and they assigned me to Tucker Nims. He reassured me that all I had to do was get better and he wou...ld handle the rest as he said “just focus on getting better”. This was a first I had ever had to hire an attorney for an accident. I knew I couldn’t do it alone. He was very knowledgeable and anytime I had a question he followed up promptly. I definitely will refer anyone in need of an experienced attorney to Mr. Tucker Nims.

My experiences with Gordon McKernan Law Firm and two of the best attorneys I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with two of the most amazing lawyers at Gordon McKernan law firm. The first time I met Attorney Tim McCrary was in 2015. This was my first time hiring an attorney for anything and I’m so glad I choose Gordon Mckernan Law Firms. Mr. McCrary guided me throug...h the whole process, helping me with what I needed when I needed it. He always kept in touch with me throughout the entire process and I really appreciated it. That was one of the reasons I chose the Firm again in 2022. This time I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Anne Marie Muller- McCrary . Yes, I was blessed again with Attorney Tim McCrary’s significant other. Anne Marie is a force to be reckoned with. She’s an amazing attorney who will go above and beyond to make sure her clients are treated fairly by the opposing insurance companies and receive the compensation that’s due to them. She made sure I was aware of everything regarding my case. My case consisted of a Deposition and Mediation which can be nerve wracking but Anne Marie made me feel comfortable and confident and she stood her ground with the opposing Attorney. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. I was also fortunate enough to work with Attorney Tim McCrary again regarding this particular case. It seemed as if I’ve known this two longer than I have because with them I wasn’t just a client I was also a friend. Attorneys Tim McCrary and Anne Marie Muller- McCrary were/are both amazing human beings and it was a pleasure meeting them. My case has ended but not the friendship I developed with them and because of that I would recommend Gordon McKernan Law Firm to friends and family or whoever needs excellent representation. God bless you Tim and Anne Marie.

Mrs.

This was my first experience dealing with being a victim of a car accident. A friend referred me to the office of Gordon Mckernan and I’m just so thankful. Russ and his assistant Victoria were so professional, caring, honest and upfront with me concerning my case. They always kept me informed of how ...my case was going and were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Something that wasn’t meant to be easy they definitely did their best to make it as easy as possible for me. They put a lot of work into my case and made sure I was well taken care of. I’m very pleased with how it turned out and will definitely recommend to everyone.

Attorney Brent Robinson

My attorney was Brent Robinson. I couldn’t have been more pleased with how well he handled my case. His understanding, compassion, and consistency made it an absolute pleasure working with him. I would have him represent me 1,000 times over! Thanks Mr. Robinson!

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.
