My Lawyer was Mr. Brent Robinson, and I must say that my experience with Gordon McKernan Law Firm was an amazing one. This review is not only an honest one, but a well-deserved one as well. From the moment I contacted them I was handled with never-ending care by all persons affiliated with my case. I never had to make a call that went unanswered, a problem that wasn’t solved, a matter that they couldn’t handle, or an expectation that they weren’t able to meet. The Gordon team really got things done! I highly recommend Mr. Robinson, and always will. #geauxGordon
Coburn Burroughs handled my case with professionalism and class. I was informed every step of the way and got the settlement I was wanting. A truly great experience!

Gordon and his staff went above and beyond for the children in their community this past Christmas, by giving away brand new bikes to children who otherwise wouldn't have gotten one. The joy they brought to those children was something to see. My grandson was one who won a bike and the excitement in his eyes when he saw a brand new red bike (his favorite color) and a brand new helmet (Gordon also gave each child a brand new helmet as safety is first), the only thing he had wanted for Christmas. They work hard for their clients and they make sure they get what they deserve and most importanlty, that they get the medical attention they need.
Working with Gordon was easy fast and answered all mine and my wife question we had answered all emails when we sent one they where very professional and down to earth people would use them again if needed too

Gordon is number 1. Taylor Breland helped me and did great. Thanks. They kept me informed from start to finish.
They did an amazing job with my case! They helped me get as much money as they could but they were also so compassionate about my injuries and that I’m still recovering from my injuries. They understood that money wouldn’t change my injuries but it would help me have transportation and be able to get back and forth to my appointments. They answered all of my questions and concerns beautifully and made sure that they did all of their research, looking, digging before they just settled my case . I am very thankful, I was blessed to be able to get a car but I am also still not able to drive and I have gotten worser but they have done their job to the utmost!
Working with this lawyer was a smooth experience. I explained my situation and he was eager to help. He walked me through the process and always kept my family updated. Any changes from the other persons insurance we got a call and discussed the options. After my case was finalized and I won, Gordon hooked me up with some awesome merchandise. I have already told many friends to get Gordon as their lawyer for their car accident.

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.
