Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'I was introduced to the head of department at first and then my case was given over to his colleague, who was extremely professional. She was very approachable and comfortable to deal with. Her understanding of my complicated case was extraordinary, and she pushed in every direction to have my case carried out to an exceptional level. By the time she went on maternity, her colleague, who was just as good in my eyes, took over a case that was already on its way to being won.
  • 'I really felt that the team took time in assets my situation and it was dealt in a professional and friendly manner.'
  • 'Kevin McKenna were always there for me giving legal advice but also as moral support.'
