Pleasure of working with attorney Robert McKenna III
I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Robert McKenna III, a Sexual Harassment Lawyer. His expertise and professionalism were outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable in sexual harassment law and provided sound legal advice. Robert was highly responsive to all of my questions and concerns and did an excellent job of helping me understand the legal process. He was also highly efficient in handling my case and resolved my issue expeditiously. I would highly recommend Robert for any legal matters related to sexual harassment. He is a true professional, and I am grateful for his assistance.
Rob McKenna III saved my life
I had a trip/fall accident at night while visiting family in my local area. It was on a central boulevard sidewalk with a 3″ ridge. Street lights were blocked so that I couldn’t see the ridge.
My first thought was to call the local business that adjoined the sidewalk and the city to negotiate payment for my medical expenses. After being rejected, I checked out their website and decided to call Robert McKenna, with his solid background and a perfect record of 5-star reviews.
Although I think he usually handles more prominent cases than mine, he readily agreed to take my case. He patiently gathered all the bills, pictures of injuries, etc., and, after all, was said and done, got a settlement from the city and the storefront that was considerably more than I had expected.
Great job, Robert!
Robert is awesome attorney
Robert and his team made such a stressful situation a cake walk. They were evident and precise when it came to updating me on my case and also listened to and considered my question and concerns. Hopefully, I don’t have to use them again, but you better believe that if I’m ever in trouble, I won’t even hesitate running to Robert. Thanks again, and I will be referring!
Thank you!
I am so thankful that I had the good fortune to hire Robert for my class action lawsuit defense! Him and his staff showed an unparalleled commitment to help me though everything. If you have the chance to work with Robert, definitely take it because you won’t regret it!
Great to work with!
Mr. Mckenna is an absolute professional and we felt at ease with him working for us. Highly recommend
