Review

Do not hire Matthew McKean! He over-billed me and when challenged agreed to a compromise but as soon as he received his payment, he withdrew from representing me without working on the judgment draft after representing me in Court! While representing me in Court he was visibly nervous and was clearly... intimidated by the opposing Counsel. He also suppressed facts received from opposing attorney regarding potential compromise scenarios which essentially cratered my case. Don't make the mistake of hiring this incompetent attorney - you will regret it!

Avvo Rating

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.
