Excellent

Mr. McKinney took my case which as he told me originally, "wasn't very strong," and worked hard and after a little over one year, I received a very acceptable settlement. I am very impressed with his service and the support of his entire firm.

Best Attorney Ever!

In late 2017, I was terminated from my position from a local company, a position I had held for 19 years. Being 62 years old, well paid, and well established in the community. I was devastated. There were no other jobs that needed my specific talents in the area. Even if I could relocate, nobody was ...going to hire an expensive old guy that would probably retire within 3 or 4 years. So, I began searching for an attorney, at first just to discuss my options. I was referred to a couple of "big names" in the San Antonio area, who were very polite, but, just my opinion, did not see the "Big Bucks" coming in from a small company in a rural Texas town. One of them referred me to Chris McKinney. That's the best piece of advice I've ever received! I made an appointment with the McKinney Law Firm. From the first meeting, Chris, and his wife Heather, put me at ease. I told them my story, presented the facts as I saw them, and explained how totally worthless I was feeling, and the toll it was taking on me and my family. If you have never gone through something like this, I can assure you that it is horrible. First of all, Chris and Heather have decades of experience in Employment Discrimination law. He explained that age discrimination is against the law. He also explained that in Texas, being a "Right to Work" state, you can be fired for any reason, or no reason at all. The fact that my termination with no severance, no nothing, was not right, in the end that really didn't matter. What DID matter were the reasons I was fired, and if they were legal, or not. That's what I liked about Chris, he tells you what you need to know, not what you want to hear. That is a rare quality in an attorney. Anyway, to cut a long story short, for the next year Chris interviewed other affected employees, investigated my claims, brought in experts to analyze the case, and in short devoted himself to my case fully. He even visited my home, and interviewed my family as to the effect this had had on them. Each step of the way, Chris kept me fully informed of the good, and the not so good news. After 15 months, the case was resolved, and I have now found a good position with a new company. So, life is once again good. I do not wish what I went through on anyone, but if you have been unfairly dismissed from you job because of age, sex, or any other illegal reason, you absolutely CAN NOT find a finer Law Firm to represent you than McKinney Law Firm. Chris and Heather were my attorneys, but I now count them as my good friends. Bill E. Kerrville, TX.

Closed Case

Mr. Mckinney and Mr. Tepperman were outstanding with representation of my case. They stood by me for over a year and never stopped checking on me and always were on the ball. I was always reassured by their professionalism and attention to detail. Case closed and we won. Although I never wished t...o be placed in a position to have a "case", I am sure glad for Chis and Etan; they stood by me all the way. Thanks Guys Enrique

Great Attorney - Very Thorough

When I was wrongfully terminated, I called a couple of different attorney's and came across Mr. McKinney. He was very thorough with explanation of what was going to happen, what to expect and what not to expect. I chose him to represent me and I am glad I did. Mr. McKinney kept in close contact ...with me in regards to dates, changes and expectations leading up to the "day of." Him and Heather both were always a phone call away if I had a question. During the mediation process, Mr. McKinney stayed as late as necessary to resolve my case, and did it in a very professional manner.

Professionalism At Its Finest

After being asked to resign from the position that I held for several years without reprimand or complaint, I was hesitant to contact an attorney. Mr. McKinney's office contacted me shortly after I submitted my contact and were able to meet with me within days. Chris McKinney's demeanor and appare...nt professionalism put me at ease immediately. His advice was invaluable and brought to my attention areas of my contract that would make it troublesome for me to move on within my given industry. As he collected the information to build the 'case', if it were to be needed, he payed careful and thoughtful attention to the personalities involved and developed a strategy and approach that yielded an extremely successful response and outcome. At a time that was both professionally and emotionally stressful, Mr. McKinney made me feel empowered and ensured that my best interests were being well protected. The level of communication was fantastic and was never lacking. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of negotiations or status of the resulting relationships. This experience made me realize the importance of having a professional that will approach the matter with respect on your side.
