Robert M. McKenna's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
Jeffrey Teichert
Election campaigns and political law lawyer | Feb 04
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I have known Rob McKenna since 2004, when I supported his campaign for Attorney General of Washington. I actively worked for his election because he is intelligent, innovative, and of high moral character. During his time as Attorney General he argued cases before the United States Supreme Court, managed the largest "law firm" in the state, and was innovative in successfully advancing a series of legislative reforms in criminal justice, unions, public disclosure, and other important areas. Rob is a very able lawyer and a good man!"
