It is with a great sense of gratitude and appreciation that I am putting my thoughts in writing to thank James McKiernan, Caleb Anthony, and their staff for providing me with outstanding service and top-quality attorney representation at James McKiernan Lawyers-SLO, CA Law Firm. From the moment I waked into Mr. McKiernan's office for my first consultation, I was highly impressed with the welcoming atmosphere and with the level of efficiency the office is managed. Two great assets to the firm are Administrative Assistant, Oscar Ortega, and their outstanding Paralegal, Claire Rowe! Every time I called or email the office they were professional, friendly, and very efficient. The waiting period to settle a case can often cause anxiety; doubts and "what ifs" may cross one's mind. I want to thank my extraordinary attorney, Caleb Anthony, for giving me the key element to eliminate all my doubts: TRUST! Caleb was honest & kept me involved. He negotiated an amazing settlement for me!!

Recently I found the need for legal assistance, and as I have heard many great things about the McKiernan law firm, I contacted their office. I was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism and quality of the McKiernan Law Firms staff, namely, Mr Robert Bell, and the quality of their work. I called to get information and a consultation, thinking that it would require a lengthy discussion and probably paper work, and of course a fee. Indeed after a short phone consultation with Mr Bell, I had all the information I needed and knew which direction I needed to go, for no cost. It was our pleasure doing business with Mr.Bell, and the McKiernan law firm, and should the need arise in the future, I will definitely seek council with them. Sincerely, Pamela S Harris

After suffering a fall and broken shoulder, I wasn’t sure how to find legal help. I wanted someone who was in my community and would hopefully be easy to communicate with. Looking through the internet and reading good reviews I found James McKiernan’s Law Firm. Right from the start I was confident I made a good choice. Caleb Anthony was assigned to my case and was excellent in collecting the necessary information, medical and recovery bills and everything else that was needed to provide me with an excellent settlement. My expenses were fully covered as well as considerations for pain and suffering. Legal costs were clear and appropriate. I know I made the right choice and highly recommend this firm. They are knowledgeable, thorough, hard working and experts at negotiation. I highly recommend them. Thank you Caleb! You have made a big difference in my life.
