Read the affidavit in less than 2 minutes and didn't want to hear my side at all. Instead was willing to charge me 1500 to get me to plea to court fees and costs when I could've did that free of charge myself ( pretty much made me feel because of my race I am guilty).

Awesome, and professional.

Compassionate. Perfect.

Everyone was nice and friendly to me . Mr.Mckendrick was very knowledgeable when we spoke about my case . Will definitely recommend to my friends and family !

I don’t even know where to start, he represented my wife over 3 years ago in her divorce. We are still having to have him complete stuff that was supposed to be done in the divorce papers. We have been waiting for him to finish a QDRO since May and he won’t send anything out overnight all standard mail. Getting a response from these people is like pulling teeth. Bottom line is he is incompetent and no communication skills and from how he handled himself in court, seems to lack confidence in his skills as a lawyer. It took writing a complaint to the bar to get a response from him. If you’re looking for a lawyer to take advantage of you this would be your guy.

This is the LAZIEST lawyer that Ive seen. He will NOT work fast and he certainly won’t do it right. This place is a joke

Funny how someone who has pictures up of him and his own family has no qualms ripping parents away from their children for a buck...

If you want someone with zero moral compass, you have come to the right place with Richard McKendrick.

Follow-up to response: It doesn't take "representing your client well" when the other person doesn't have the money for an attorney. You tore a father away from their child by taking advantage of knowing case law when they don't. You completely railroaded him with technicalities when there was a complete lack of any evidence against him. All based purely on hearsay, which should not even be admissible, but you slithered it right in there with that judge.

And pointing the finger at the judge is a sad way of pawning the blame off. It wouldn't have happened if you didn't push for the judge to alienate him from his child to begin with. Is blaming the judge how you manage to sleep at night?

And no, you DO NOT hope that he is able to get them back, because that would mean you losing your case. You are getting paid to keep someone's child from them purely out of spite from an ex. It is disgusting, and anyone with even a shred of morality would've refused the case.

He made the changes, but you ensured to toss case law out there that prevented the judge from being able to view the evidence without witnesses to cross examine, even with notarized documentation.

You have destroyed his emotional well-being and the future of his child, all for a buck. That child is going to grow up hating a system that kept her father from her. She will hate her mother for keeping her from him She is going to most likely end up with severe behavioral issues in her teen years as a result. But hey, you're getting paid, so who cares, right?

Mr. Mckendrick is very professional, kind and compassionate. I appreciate everything he has done for my son. He did a great job on his case and I can't thank him enough. I definitely recommend him.

If you want fast results and swift action, call McKendrick law. I got an advertisement letter in the mail from them, and called a week before court, and my case was won. The absolute best decision I ever made. McKendrick law is the best in Polk county for what they do. You want regret it, and I have them on speed dial .

Mr. McKendrick and his staff helped through the most difficult time in my life. They were very available and diligent when I was in need of their assistance. This was a emotional time for me and they always treated me with respect and understanding. Thank you so much Mr.McKendrick!!!

I don't know much about mr
Mckendrick yet as we have only had one meeting togther so far but after what he did for us today and the confidence and comfort i felt in him i look forward to his future assistance. He took us in last minute and is doing his best to help us. And let me tell you thats not easy with me as i can be quick to jump. But he kept me calm and focused.

Went to Mr McKendrick in a time of need. We sat down and discussed the situation and came up with a game plan to lead towards a reasulation. I followed all advice he gave, paid him to file motions in my case that he suggested we file to get a temporary time sharing order before another case was complete. The motions got filed but absolutely no follow up beyond those motions, the 2 times I called regarding this I was told "we're trying to get an answer" and I was charged for both of those phone calls. I was also charged for a case review every month, but I can't see how they reviewed my case file and never noticed there are unanswered motions just floating around. The first case which had a temporary time sharing order attached to it was about to be dismissed, this would once again put me right back were we started, at the will of my ex of when I would be able to see my child. I again called , I asked for a parenting plan to be drafted , spent alot of time on the phone with his paralegal as to what the parenting plan should say, I was told it would be ready the next day, then I get an email stating a couple more days, finally a month later I get the parenting plan, this is of course after the other case was dismissed and at this time I am at the will of my crazy ex. I go through this parenting plan and realized that my phone conversation with the paralegal meant nothing, so many things I asked for were not in this plan and things we discussed that I wanted were just ignored. At this point I'm over it, I send his paralegal emails asking how to get their office off my case, she directed me as to what I needed to do to have him removed from the case without him having to go to court and charging me for that court date. I sent in the paperwork as directed and was under the impression all was taken care of. I show up at the next court date to find Mr. McKendrick there , I ask for him to be removed from my case, the judge accepcted my request.. Then the bill comes.. $450 for a court date he attended AFTER his paralegal tells me this is what you need to do so he isn't required to attend.. Watch your bills people, try to keep an eye on your case, DO NOT TRUST this office with there word.. the only thing they did without flaw was take the payment.. I could go on and on about how my case was negelcted and just not handle the way it should have been but will leave it there.. BTW no I'm not paying for you to attending a hearing I asked you not to attend, stop wasting postage,

I was very happy with my representation. Friendly, efficient, and professional staff. Seemed to really care about me and my case.

By far the best attorney in Polk county. Went above and beyond, answered all my calls as well as my questions. Thank you so much Mr mckendrick

Mr. McKendrick has gone above and beyond what I expected her would with my case. He took the time to understand my story and what I needed. I called him many times and was always able to get in contact with him. His assitants are also very kind and if Mr. McKendrick wasn't able to speak with them , they were always able to help me out. Call him and you will not regret it.

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.

Highly recommended :)
