good outcome

Mr mckesson gave me great and stellar defense, insured me that what he could do he would and he delivered efficiently. All court officers from the judge to the prosecuter seemed to respect and aknowledge his experience. he dealt well with what needed to be dealt with and the outcome of the case again...st me was a dissmisal of charge. I witnessed a very sharp, well spoken and knowledgable defense lawyer who cross examined at pretrial the state witnesses and quickly discredited them insomuch that the case was dismissed and I was exonerated of charge I recommend him he was professional,responsive and knowledgable.

Criminal Defense

Mr. McKesson is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He helped me with an unfortunate situation and he bent over backwards to minimize the outcome. I was wrong for the choices I made and must pay for my mistakes; however, I am glad I had Attorney McKesson defending me as I saw him do everything ...in his power to ensure I understood what was about to happen, what I could expect at each court session, and potentially how much time I might do as a result of getting myself into this mess. He even got the judge to allow me to attend college out of state. He's been an excellent role model and a man I can look up to as I encounter what life holds for me. You know being a young man sometimes we make faulty decisions, like I did, but I sure am glad God sent me an "angel" like Mr. McKesson to represent.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I sat next to Kevin for three months during a bitterly-fought, politically-charged jury trial. Kevin was a hard worker, a tireless fighter for his client and an able advocate -- not to mention, a good colleague. I'd try another case with him any day."

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.
