James Michael McKanna

I hired Jim McKanna based on the strong recommendation of a close colleague whom had worked with him in the past. I was arrested for a DUI and was terrified to say the least; Jim immediately helped alleviate those fears. Jim was professional and prepared and he was able to answer all of my questions... with a confidence earned from years of legal practice and experience. After a few phone calls to the courthouse Jim was able to outline a legal strategy and time-line that would ensure the most favorable possible outcome considering the facts of my case. Jim was with me throughout the entire process, he made himself available at all times to answer questions and to simply put me at ease. Jim was very reasonable and fair with his pricing, but more importantly Jim gave me peace of mind and the confidence to move forward with the legal process. Jim was non-judgmental, tenacious, professional and kind; he helped me to navigate a very difficult time in my life. I give Mr. McKanna the highest of praise and recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal counsel.

My wife and I have come to know Mr. McKanna for the past 10 years as an outstanding attorney and a wonderful person. He helped us on several occasions with legal challenges. Jim is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, yet always accessible and reliable. He works every case, even a simple infracti...on as it was his own. If you need a highly effective lawyer and a reliable friend, I strongly suggest to give Jim a call.

I give James McKanna my highest personal recommendation. He is an attorney of high character, diligence and skill . I had a slip and fall personal injury matter which was approaching the statute of limitations. I asked Mr. McKanna to review my file to see if I had a case. He immediately went into a...ction, filed a lawsuit and quickly obtained my medical records. Jim was able to negotiate a very good settlement within 3 months of the lawsuit being filed. which I attribute to his high level advocacy and interpersonal demeanor. I would highly recommend Mr. McKanna for any personal injury matter. Future clients will not be disappointed.

To anyone who needs competent, experienced and trustworthy legal representation, I highly recommend James McKanna. He is an excellent lawyer and advocate. Jim helped me through a very difficult personal injury case. I had never been involved in a lawsuit before and I had no idea that the process was... so horribly long and complicated. When you are trying to heal from an accident it is not easy, but James was there to walk me through it, every step of the way. I had never intended to sue anyone and I had initially hoped just to work with the opposing insurance company since it was clear that they were at fault. Eventually, it became clear that they would not even pay for my medical bills. As we approached the two-year deadline and I decided that I needed to contact Jim, hoping that he would be able to help me at that late date. He jumped right in and filed the lawsuit to meet the deadline and took over the negotiations with the insurance companies. He carefully explained the mountain of paperwork and what I needed to do. He would contact me regularly with updates and information. Jim spent time with me to prepare for the deposition and stood by my side during the whole ordeal. He would suggest a break if he saw I was getting tired or needed a break from the questioning. I felt very comfortable with him and he was very easy to talk to. The other insurance company didn't stand a chance with him in my corner and I knew I had picked the right guy. The result was that I received a very high payout that I attribute entirely to the skillful handling of the matter by Jim. Should the need arise in the future, I will continue to rely on Jim. Again, I highly recommend James McKanna, Esq. for legal advice and counsel.
