This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Waiting to meet personally

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.

Outcome Better than Expected

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 t...hat 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.

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.
