Laura J. Mckinnon's Lawyer Endorsements
Social Security & Disability lawyer | Mar 28
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I served on the leadership of the Social Security section of a national lawyer's organization with Laura, and I know her to be one of the most driven, organized, professional advocates practicing in this field today. Anyone in Arkansas and the surrounding states would be well-served to hire Laura and her firm for Social Security matters."
"Laura is deserving of the highest rating. She is easily one of the top attorneys in Arkansas and you will not find a lawyer that is more dedicated and determined to obtain justice for her clients. On top of all that, she is a really nice person. She has my strongest endorsement!"
"Laura is by far and away one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have ever met on issues of workers compensation and social security disability. I always go to her for questions that I have on these issues when they are ancillary to a matter I am handling and feel confident in referring anyone to her when they need a comp or SS attorney."
