I hired Mr. McKindles to represent me in a complex lawsuit involving business, real estate and family law issues, which we won. His analysis and strategy skills are excellent and he was very responsive each time I contacted him. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.

“I self-reported to the bar after my CPA advised me that my then partner's accounting practices were not in technical compliance with bar standards. Although my clients' funds were always fully secure, I was on the partnership account with him. So we were both sanctioned as the account was in both names. After learning of my partner's violation, I promptly severed the partnership.”
