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

Straight forward, confident with no hint of arrogance genuinely concerned that you find an attorney best suited for your case

I was recently referred to Mr. Mckenney by a friend for advice on a sensitive legal matter. I was able to speak directly to Mr. Mckenney on my very first call to his firm. In order to explain my situation, I had to disclose some very personal information. He instantly put me at ease and I was able... to share my situation and the uncomfortable details with him with no anxiety or shame. He was completely non-judgmental and didn't seem at all phased by what I had to say. His calm, yet confident demeanor made me feel like I was already in good hands. As it turned out, Mr. Mckenney felt that I would be better represented by another attorney who specialized in the area of my issue. I was very thankful for his honesty about his area of expertise and the fact that he didn't hesitate to refer me to someone else. He gave me the name of two other attorneys and expressed his confidence in them both. He also advised me to quickly disclose certain facts about my matter so that if either attorney was unable to help me due to a conflict of interest, there would be no time wasted before figuring this out. He also took the time to explain to me a few reasons why there could be a conflict of interest, he told me to keep in touch with him and that we would start over and find someone else if either of these attorneys didn't work out.
