The experience our clients describe is the whole point of keeping our caseload small.
"In late 2017, I was terminated from my position from a local company, a position I had held for 19 years. Being 62 years old, well paid, and well established in the community, I was devastated. There were no other jobs that needed my specific talents in the area. Even if I could relocate, nobody was going to hire an expensive old guy that would probably retire within 3 or 4 years.
So, I began searching for an attorney, at first just to discuss my options. I was referred to a couple of "big names" in the San Antonio area, who were very polite, but, just my opinion, did not see the "Big Bucks" coming in from a small company in a rural Texas town. One of them referred me to Chris McKinney. That's the best piece of advice I've ever received!
I made an appointment with the McKinney Law Firm. From the first meeting, Chris, and his wife Heather, put me at ease. I told them my story, presented the facts as I saw them, and explained how totally worthless I was feeling, and the toll it was taking on me and my family. If you have never gone through something like this, I can assure you that it is horrible.
First of all, Chris and Heather have decades of experience in Employment Discrimination law. He explained that age discrimination is against the law. He also explained that in Texas, being a "Right to Work" state, you can be fired for any reason, or no reason at all. The fact that my termination came with no severance, no nothing, was not right — but in the end that really didn't matter. What DID matter were the reasons I was fired, and if they were legal, or not. That's what I liked about Chris: he tells you what you need to know, not what you want to hear. That is a rare quality in an attorney.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, for the next year Chris interviewed other affected employees, investigated my claims, brought in experts to analyze the case, and in short devoted himself to my case fully. He even visited my home, and interviewed my family as to the effect this had had on them. Each step of the way, Chris kept me fully informed of the good, and the not so good news.
After 15 months, the case was resolved, and I have now found a good position with a new company. So, life is once again good. I do not wish what I went through on anyone, but if you have been unfairly dismissed from your job because of age, sex, or any other illegal reason, you absolutely CAN NOT find a finer Law Firm to represent you than McKinney Law Firm. Chris and Heather were my attorneys, but I now count them as my good friends."
"Chris was an amazing support in my situation. His guidance and advice was just what I needed! Chris is a fair-minded and very knowledgeable lawyer. Thank you for the great work and wonderful outcome."
"If you think for a minute it's not your fault — fight back. I thought I could handle it on my own and then reality sunk in: I need help. That's exactly what I got when I hired The McKinney Law Firm. The whole staff was attentive to my concerns and helped me through till the end. If you have employment issues, call McKinney."
"The McKinney Law Firm is very professional. The firm always kept me updated on my case and was always available by phone or email if I ever had any questions. I would recommend Mr. McKinney and his firm for any legal advice. He listens to everything you have to say and fights for you until the very end. Look no further — this is the law firm you need to hire."
"Mr. McKinney did a great job, and was affordable compared to other lawyers in the San Antonio area. I was fighting a major banking/insurance business that was trying to make me resign for moving to another state for family medical issues — even though I was a permanent work-from-home employee. He took the time to listen and came up with a letter I sent to my manager and HR. The employer's decision was to keep me employed, even though their first decision was to make me quit. Thank you, Mr. McKinney — because of your assistance I am still employed."
"Knowledgeable, respectful and honest. Absolutely the team you want on your side when you're facing a difficult employer."
"With regards to you and your staff — you all made our family feel that we chose a very good firm that really cared about their clients. We thank you for making it easy to be able to talk to you. You really listened and guided us in the right direction."
"After being asked to resign from a position I'd held for several years without reprimand or complaint, I was hesitant to contact an attorney. Mr. McKinney's office contacted me shortly after I reached out and met with me within days. His demeanor and professionalism put me at ease immediately. His advice was invaluable and brought to my attention areas of my contract that would have made it troublesome to move on within my industry. He paid careful, thoughtful attention to the personalities involved and developed a strategy that yielded an extremely successful outcome. At a time that was both professionally and emotionally stressful, he made me feel empowered and ensured my best interests were well protected. The level of communication was fantastic. I couldn't be more pleased."
"I was referred to Chris to assist with a lawsuit filed against me by a former employer. From the very beginning he explained how the whole process would work and what to expect. He was diligent in maintaining contact with opposing counsel and served as my voice through settlement negotiations — proactive in explaining each draft, what to accept and decline, while always letting me share my concerns. He prepared me for the deposition and I felt comfortable and relaxed through a nerve-wracking process. Without hesitation or reservation, I would use him again — professionalism, diligence, helpfulness, and a sense of humor."
"My experience with this law firm has been wonderful! Mr. McKinney is kind, compassionate and extremely organized. I think he should teach a class to other attorneys regarding his filing system and communication with clients. His assistant is the sweetest and truly cares about you as an individual. I highly recommend them!"
"Can't say enough about Mr. McKinney. He is a great lawyer and I always felt like he cared about me and my situation. I went through a very difficult situation at work that ultimately led to a lawsuit. My previous lawyer would never return my calls or tell me the status of my case. I got my file back and hired Mr. McKinney. He told me plainly what my situation was and always kept me informed. I was very happy with the settlement he got for me, too. I would definitely recommend him to a friend."
