Great Experience!!! Mr Brian kept me informed throughout the life of the case. He was real helpful and honest about all decisions made in my case. His paralegal was always friendly and informed me of all upcoming appointments and meetings they scheduled. I had an overall great experience with Gordon McKernan’s law firm!!!

Even after my case was closed Gordon McKernan is still helping me. After everything was settled and agreed upon they were able to get my hospital bill reduced which means more cash in my pocket. My paralegal Gayleen Wilde is the type of person you want tracking your case and explaining everything to you. She is highly motivated and has the capacity to track your case with such detail that will help you relax while you heal from your injuries. My attorney Greg Murphy is very knowledgeable in the law and has a large network of doctors and other attorneys to draw from. When you are injured and trying to recover you want the best attorney to fight for you while you heal to give yourself peace of mind. Gordon McKernan will fight for you and assign a professional attorney to your case like Greg Murphy. I thank God that I have healed from my injuries. I thank God for securing my future by giving me the courage to call Gordon McKernan when I was in a fragile state. May God bless you as well.

My experience can be summed up in one word: AMAZING! It really was. With my case, Taylor Berland and Brittany, his assistant, went above and above. I was somewhat anxious because it was my first case and I had no idea what to anticipate. Gordon was referred to me by my family and friends, and I will do the same for anyone! I sincerely appreciate all that you have done and your patience with me. Thank you so much for that.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

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.
