This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

EEOC Procces

The EEOC process was not easy or user friendly. I had a very hard time just getting a charge filed. I contacted this law firm and I was able to get a an interview with an investigator and a charge filed. They were so helpful and knowledgeable on the process. If I file suit I will rehire Mr. Mckendree... .

We needed help with my Mother’s estate because she was in a guardianship. John organized, explained and walked us through all the steps to close out her estate. I highly recommend John McKendree.

Very efficient and effective!

This was my first time hiring a lawyer. I was nervous to spend the money to retain the lawyer and when other costs kept building up as we went along, I felt scared. They gave me assurances and allowed me to make what payments I could and promised to clear the rest once we won our case. He has an ...excellent team who worked hard for my case annd are very knowledgeable, they gave me good advice along the way. It took some time and patience, but I ultimately won a really nice settlement and couldn’t be more pleased! I chose the McKendree law firm because I researched and he has the most experience of any lawyer in Colorado on my type of case, which involved my last job.

I was discriminated at work, I did not know what to do to protect my rights in a hostile workplace. John Mckendree answered his phone on a weekend and walked me through my rights and gave me the support I needed to protect my job and most importantly my rights.

Accountant

Mr. Mckendree handled my husband's criminal court case and we are forever in debt to him because he was able to negotiate with the prosecutors, his has extensive experience in law and is able to communicate with clients in a way that we can easily understand the legal language. He has legal secreta...ries that are equally competent whom are just as hardworking and only a phone call away.
