Todd Hernandez was awesome. He had my back 100%! I was in a lot of pain and he made sure I saw the proper people to get the proper care. I needed surgery and they checked on me after to make sure I was doing well. I would recommend to anyone who needs a lawyer.

My experience with Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys has completely reduced an unimaginable amount of stress that I would have had to endure in a legal fight after being hit by drunk driver that left me with permanent physical impairments and medical expenses no victim should be responsible for. Justin Glenn and his legal team at GMIA worked diligently with compassion while also being very informative allowing myself as a young adult to be educated. I appreciate them so much for all the help and support they’ve given me in the toughest event of my life. They will hold their word and absolutely “Get It Done”.

This was my first time in a car accident and dealing with an insurance company and attorney. This is not a pleasant experience but my attorney, Michael Montalbano, was very patient with me and worked really hard on my case. My case was coming to an end during a week when he was on vacation with his family he still continued to work on it and got it settled. I really appreciate his dedication and hard work.

I had my attorney Devin Guidry and he was amazing! After I had gotten my first settlement from my wreck he didn’t stop there! He went above and beyond his practice to help me (a single mom) get everything that I deserved from the accident. I was able to not only pay my medical bills and fix my car, but he helped me get the medical care I needed. He was wonderful with communication as well as many other skills. He is representing this wonderful company tremendously! I couldn’t have asked for a better guy working with me and my family.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ramsey Barfield regarding my case. He has been absolutely wonderful! He is so friendly, easy going, and down to earth. He was there for me every step of the way and guided me through the entire nerve racking process. He was always reassuring and helpful and I never felt alone or worried. I never really had to ask questions because he was always ahead of the game and always kept me informed. He was also available to answer my questions and phone calls at any given time. This was very helpful to me as my work schedule didn’t allow me much availability for phone calls during clinic hours. I cannot say enough great things about Mr. Ramsey Barfield and I would 100% recommend him to anyone!

Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
