    Review Christy Martin

    Outcome Better than Expected

    Posted by

    Christy Martin of Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon, P.C. represented me in a patent lawsuit. What I thought would be a long, drawn out, stressful process turned out to have a good end result. My trust in my attorneys was strong at this point, so I retained them again for another situation and have decided that I am happy with Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon. From the first visit, the attention I received was much more than expected. Before the consultation, they had my questions answered. I was very happy because the outcome was better than expected.

    Christy contacted me immediately but is in court this week. We agreed to meet the following week. At this point, I am in no hurry to explain my situation.
