I have retained Mr. McKendrick four times now. Once for a divorce, twice for some real estate issues and unfortunately for a divorce again. Mr. McKendrick shows respect not only to his client but also the client's soon to be ex spouse which was important to me. He also has a wealth of knowledge in divorce law and has the ability to draw on this knowledge actively during a hearing. It is amazing watching him work where the other party's attorney throws everything but the kitchen sink at you and Mr. McKendrick pulls out some case law in the end that requires the situation to go to his favor regardless of the fireworks display by the other side. He operates ethically and takes the time to listen to your concerns and responds with the truth rather than what you want to hear. If your looking to punish your soon to be ex-spouse this is not the attorney. If you are looking for an honest lawyer that will fight for what is best for you and your family and will give it his all while operating in a way that will leave you with a clear conscience in the end; this is the attorney.
