Not only was James Mckiernan lawyers fully transparent with me but they also went above and beyond to help me figure out exactly what I needed and deserved in a way that wasnt condescending or rude. In fact my lawyer Caleb talked to me directly about what was going on constantly and talked to me like a person which is something I've felt is lacking with other lawyers I had to deal with. The real icing on the cake for me though was that when I needed to relocate to a different state it wasnt a hassle or even a big deal that i needed to have my paperwork mailed to an all new address. I can not recommend them enough.

I highly recommend McKiernan et al. About a year ago, I was in an automobile accident when I was t-boned by a driver who ran a stop sign, and at first, it looked like both parties had the minimum insurance. Robert Bell did a great job for me. In addition to uncovering that the other driver actually had more than one insurance policy, Robert and his staff took care of all my medical bills, and all the other ancillary issues that arose along the way. I really appreciate the way Robert handled my case, and would give his card to anyone I know that has had any sort of similar legal trouble. In the end, I believe through Robert's diligent efforts, I received the best settlement possible. Thank you Robert, and everyone else at the McKiernan Law firm.

My 1st call to this attorney, Was answered by a female, that was very rude to me..Why would I use somebody that's rude to me.. Awful 1st experience

This law firm is legit they helped me out quickly and provided incredible service/help! 100% recommend them if you’re ever in a tricky situation.

“When we called James McKiernan Law office, we weren’t too sure what to expect, being that it was our first time needing legal services, and we were extremely overwhelmed with our situation at the time. The staff were very empathetic to our situation, and assured us we’d be kept in the loop as they advocated on our behalf. They went above and beyond for us, demonstrating heart and integrity in the way they dealt with our case, which seems like a rarity these days. To put it simple, this is absolutely the firm you want on your side.”

This was my first experience needing to get a lawyer due to being injured in a car accident and I didn't know what to expect in the process. The staff was friendly, helpful and so easy to work with! I couldn't be happier with the results and I highly recommend them.

Mr. John Hayes had assisted my wife in a settlement and help take good care of her accident claim. He helped to ensure that she receive full compensation through recourse of mediation and gave her security that she was being led in a rightful decision.

John Hayes and the McKiernan Law firm fought hard for us in our unfortunate accident they got all of our medical bills paid which we were very concerned about. We are extremely happy and satisfied with the representation and results we received our family highly recommends the James McKiernan Law firm!!! Thank you!!!

When I had my accident, I was travelling in the US from Canada and I was not sure if I would find anyone to help me pursue a claim for the costs associated with my injury. John Hayes, a managing Partner at James McKiernan Lawyers was more than willing to take on my case, kindly advising me that it was a long shot. In every interaction, John was kind, considerate and patient, and never made me feel like I was a nuisance when I had questions or needed guidance. John’s experience and knowledge shines through in his work and his administrative team reflects his high standards I sincerely appreciate John’s persistence and commitment to seeing my case through, resulting in a larger than anticipated settlement. I would not hesitate to recommend this Firm and John Hayes in particular. Many thanks John!

I've actually used their services twice now and have been satisfied with the outcome both times. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of representation. John did wonderfully this last time, so maybe request him, if possible.

The firm helped us out a lot and got us a fair settlement.

The experience with James Mckiernan Lawyers was a pleasant one. In the course of time before my settlement, all my questions were answered and I was confident I was in good hands with the representation of James Mckiernan Lawyers. I was always treated like I mattered and that makes all the difference in the world. Thank you John Hayes and everyone i had the pleasure meeting at James Mckiernan Lawyers.

Great experience, staff always helpful and professional

This is the most awesome legal team in California. They communicate well with their clients and go above and beyond to get the highest settlements possible. Highly recommend. You can’t find anyone better.

I cant Express enough how helpful and kind Caleb Anthony was in handling my case. The entire staff at James Mckiernan Lawyers from the receptionist to the owner of the company went beyond the call of duty. I was so confused many times throughout the process and Chris, Jim, and Caleb all went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and reassured me that they had a handle on this unfortunate event. Words can not Express how completely satisfied both myself and my wife are with the way it all turned out. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Amazing team.

I've never met a law firm that treats clients like family and not just billable hours. I will only use McKiernan's legal team!

Amazing firm. Would work with them anytime.

Getting in an accident has only happened to me twice, and both times, I have felt helpless to the legal aspects incurred. I have never felt more comforted by a company, and trust them implicitly in handling all issues in my case and further cases, for that matter. James and his associates are the only team I will ever work with, or refer family or friends to for any injury related case.

Very professional!

A great group I highly recommend, nothing but the best in all aspects!

Caleb Anthony was never too busy to see me or take my call. The firm was professional and paid attention to detail. They were helpful and I appreciated all the work they did on my case. I highly recommend this law firm and Caleb Anthony as an attorney.

Wonderful team of experts! Easy to work with and I will refer them to anyone looking for an expert to handle their case.

Thank you Daryl and James and the rest of the team for being so awesome and taking such good care of me!

First, thank you to Jim McKiernan. He checked on me by phone after my injury more than once, and helped me with my claim even though I didn’t decide to file a claim until six months after the injury occurred.

Then, thank you to Caleb Anthony, my lawyer, and his assistant Sarah. Neither of them could have been kinder or more efficient. Caleb was a master at asking all the right questions and guiding me through a phone interview with the insurance company and a mediation. He gave me a clear understanding of each step in the process, answered all my inquiries, and made me feel I was in very professional hands. It is such a relief to have someone so competent, personable, detailed, and organized represent you. Thank you, Caleb. I was so lucky to have you take my case.

Finally, Sarah made sure I was scheduled, she phoned me the day before each meeting to remind me and make sure all my questions were answered. She dealt with my hospital records and insurance. A dream legal assistant.

I am a most grateful client.

Teri Stegman

The best and the most professional people I have ever met. May God bless them all.

They worked doggedly to ensure a positive outcome, even when it looked like the case was hopeless.
Highly recommend these most talented and professional lawyers and staff.
You could go elsewhere......but why?

The firm faught hard for my case and didnt give up. Mr Anthony worked diligently from start to finish and is highly committed. Mr Hayes took my case and assured my satisfaction to the end. The xontracted lien physicians provided top notch care and I thank Dr Dierks and the Spine and Ortho Center wholeheartedly along with SIMS Physical Therapy, Dr. Greg Anderson, Dr Anaya, Dr. Mary Mees and Family Accupuncture of Santa Maria. I Would recommend them to any in need!

they are very good lawers

I had a slip and fall accident but never thought I would end up having to go to a lawyer. I was blessed with John Hayes at McKiernan law offices as my attorney. It has been a long and tiring process (as I assume all cases are) but during this process John became more than my lawyer, he became my friend. I am very grateful to know him and when my case is over I know I can still contact him if I need something. My case is supposed to settle in the next week or so and I am hoping it will be moderately lucrative for me but also will be so happy to have this case done. I would always recommend them to anyone!
A little piece of advice for clients- always try to be reasonable, understanding and logical. Things don’t always go the way you want, when you want them to but hang in there!

The folks at James McKiernan Lawyers have been very helpful and I highly recommend them.

Hours ago, John Hayes, a managing partner at the law firm of James McKiernan Lawyers, called to say that my accident settlement will be more than 30 percent higher than we thought -- and without going to court. Every lawyer claims they are "looking out for the little guy", but John Hayes shows it in his actions and the passion with which he fights for his clients. He is pleasant, concerned about me as a person, and one of the smartest and most talented attorneys it has ever been my pleasure to see in action. When John is in court or a meeting, his crack assistant Regina is available, and quick to answer questions and help in a variety of ways. If you've been hurt by someone who's trying to shirk their responsibility for your injuries, expenses and damages like I was don't shop around! Call James McKiernan Lawyers, and my newest friend John Hayes Esq.

Great service overall and they kept their word! Most importantly, they helped me through my situation and cannot express enough my gratitude. Thank you! Highly recommend their services.

Perhaps THE most qualified and experienced accident/personal injury legal team for many miles around the central coast. Considerate, patient and compassionate staff - professional in all aspects. I always feel like they're thete for me, and not just to collect fees. Highly recommend them.

After my injury that was going to require two separate surgeries and have me out of work for at least 8 months. I was advised we should get a lawyer.
My son Matt contacted James McKiernan Law Firm because he was referred to them from a friend. I was home after my first surgery and could not travel. Darryl came to my house for a free consultation. After discussing my injury claim we decided to go with McKiernan and Associates.
Darryl was my case manager. He kept in constant contact with my wife and I on my progress and updated us on my claim.
We are satisfied with the time it took to resolve our claim and the outcome.
My family and I would definately recommend James McKiernan and Associates.

The whole firm was courteous and helpful. John Hayes in particular performed a spectacular service for me.

Fantastic! Extremely professional! Darrell handled my case and got it solved in a timely manner.

nothing but true compassionate care. always felt an honorable esteem towards the lawfirm genuine help ..thanks

Great experience with this firm. We experienced a rough time when I was randomly hit head on with a trailer tire head on by an out of country driver. Celesta represented us and did a great job getting us results and informing through out the process. We don't live in slo county anymore but will still as them for legal assistance if we ever need it.

I can’t say enough good things about Robert Bell’s intelligent, compassionate, competent, and efficient help. He has made a huge difference in my life for the better. He really knows how to listen and work with his clients, and he is number one, in my book!
Everyone at the McKiernan office is kind, friendly, and caring, including Monica and Molly and James McKiernan himself, who came out to meet me in person today. I am so glad and grateful for all the wonderful help you’ve given me, after the accident and the trauma I’ve been through. I’d give SIX stars, if I had the option!
God forbid I should ever have another accident, but if I do, I know just where to turn for help.
Thank you and bless you all, at McKiernan’s!

Everything was accurate and professional. The company had top quality attorneys and support staff.
No surprises with effective communication.
Special kudos to Mr Hayes and MrMcKiernan
Would highly recommend!

Thank you very much

The law office of McKiernan have been super helpful to me. I was overwhelmed by my accident & having them on my side is exactly what I needed.

After having a truly terrible experience with another local law firm, it was a breath of fresh air working with John Hayes and the whole team at McKiernan lawyers. They were kind, attentive and very effective. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of quality legal representation.

J. M. Law has made dealing with insurance agency’s so much easier. After months of back and forth w/insurance after a recent accident, J. M. Law made sure all of my medical and property damage was taken care of. We are blessed to have such a great advocate here in SLO.

When my dad was bitten by a neighbors pitbull, McKiernan Law handled the entire process without putting my elderly father through any more pain. His settlement was very satisfactory and we as a family highly recommend the entire McKiernan Team.

James , Celesta, and the staff at James Mckiernan lawyers are amazing ! Friendly and great staff ! Always there to answer all my questions and needs . Even though my case is still going I feel like I’m in great hands . Thank you everyone at the office . You guys are amazing . Highly recommended!

Great Personal Injury Attorney with a wonderful track record and solid reputation!

Amazing law firm!

Very professional and I was well represented. Medical services and surgery were seamless. Thank you.

James McKiernan handled everything and made what is generally a hassle, a breeze. Im very busy so dealing with a lawsuit is something i have zero time for and they seamlessly handled everything.

We appreciated the years of experience that John Hayes brought to the table and expertise to settle our case. Through the ups and downs of the process, we were satisfied with the end result and the connections that McKiernan’s team had.
Shout out to the Celesta Romero as well who was always prompt in returning emails/calls and answering questions. Her professionalism was greatly appreciated.
- J & S Gibson

James McKiernan Lawyers provides prompt and expert legal advice. I highly recommend!

Professional staff works hard for you.

James Mckiernan law firm. Has come too the rescue at all times for me and my family over the years. The best highly recomended

working with James Mckiernan lawyer was such a calming experience. John is very confident with his work, he keeps you updated throughout the whole process. I would not recommend going to anyone else.

I don't recommend anyone to go through John Haze
Complete liar
Doesn't ever call you to keep you updated and doesn't return calls
If you're looking to settle quick with a good amount in your pocket I'd recommend you try a different lawyer

I made the right decision to come to McKiernan! My case was complex and unusual. I had difficulty finding an attorney with the bandwidth to handle it. Jim is smart, responsive and most importantly, he knows how to win. I can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent legal service. Extremely responsive and made me feel they cared about me. I could not have been in better hands!

I have been represented by James McKiernans office for just over a year. In that short time Mr McKiernan and John Hayes and their staff have been nothing but hard working, fast, and professional. They negotiated a settlement that I am extremely satisfied with. Both John and Jim are very friendly and approachable, and more than able to tackle any problem you may have during difficult times. I would highly reccomend James Mckiernans team, The BEST Lawfirm on the central coast! THANK YOU JOHN!!

Very responsive and helpful staff. Caleb made the whole process easy.

I would like to describe my experience with a few simple words, outstanding and impeccable service from James and his crew , thank you sir

John Hayes and his office staff far exceeded my expectations. He is knowledgeable and efficient but also kind, caring, and personable. Whenever I had a question or needed to communicate something about my case, I was able to speak with either John or his wonderful assistant Regina right away. Working with them was a breath of fresh air and they truly fought for the best possible outcome of my case. If I could give a 10 star review, I would!

As an attorney myself I was pleasantly surprised at the outstanding client care and human element at James McKiernan.

Mr. McKiernan himself took the time out of his day to assist me with a personal family matter - free of charge.

It is nice to see lawyers go above and beyond to help people during times of need. We all think of PI attorneys as ambulance chasers - but they are people too - and quite frankly, a necessary element for a functioning civilization to make people whole (or back to before) in times of need.

In summation - I would highly recommend the law firm of James McKiernan for your legal matters.

Very professional and efficient in getting all of our legal matters taken care of. We highly recommend James McKiernan Lawyers.

James McKiernan Lawyers will fight for you! They helped my cousin get $1.3M after an auto accident. His physical recovery was brutal, with multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy, and they made sure to walk our family through each step so that my cousin got the money he deserved. Everyone we worked with was professional, thoughtful and had our best interest in mind. Thank you!!

Very understanding and compassionate to my situation. Jim went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of. Would do business with again. THANK YOU! : )

Overall experience here at James Mckiernan Lawyers was great! The staff was very respectful and welcoming. Provided me with the ability to work around my schedule and always put my needs first. I'd like to thank the staff for clarity and always going the extra mile for me to get the case settled when I was ready. As well a huge THANK YOU : DARREL O'NIEL , JOHN HAYES & MARIA for contributing to helping me feel comfortable and reassured while the case was in the process of being settled.

This is a personal note from James McKiernan and his office staff ... thanking the more than 100 clients who have taken their time to write heartfelt comments and 5 STAR reviews about our law firm's services and accomplishments.

That is truly an honor we cherish from each of you.

Each client knows that, although their case is over, we are not done ... because they have a continuing friend in James McKiernan Lawyers just a phone call away to help them with new matters or to send them in the right direction for some other attorney who can help them.

Again, a BIG 'thank you' to all of you and our best wishes on your continuing safe and successful journey through life!

James McKiernan and staff

They instill confidence to their clients, and demonstrate a willingness to go the extra mile, leaving no stone unturned. It’s good to have peace of mind knowing they’re in your corner. Glad I made that phone call.

James McKiernan Lawyers provide top-drawer accurate legal services. James is thorough, accurate and honest and is a great man. Honored to recommend!

Not long ago, I had a situation arise in which I needed to call in the professionals. I turned to James McKiernan Lawyers. I was fortunate to have John Hayes on my side. Professional, helpful, and genuine - John was awesome!

I can't thank the team here enough. I sustained a brutal injury while surfing that affected my life and health for over a year, and didn't expect to ever receive any sort of compensation or assistance for the damages. Caleb Anthony took on what was a bizarre, challenging case, and helped me reach a settlement, while checking in with me every step of the way. This is the second time I've been helped by the fine team at James McKiernan Lawyers, as they represented my family and I after a car accident in the early 2000s. This team makes navigating the confusing world of law simple, understandable, and most of all, they truly care about each and every one of their clients. I can't recommend their firm highly enough. Thank you so much for everything!

All we really want is justice, to satiate that visceral explosion rising up into our chest and throat. But sometimes justice is elusive and only attainable by dedicated professionals committed to the fight on your behalf. You're looking for an attorney; you have found one here. Friendly and helpful, in this time of distress that you find yourself, they'll take care of you.

I have had a few interactions with Jim where he was helpful and knowledgeable in all areas associated with the issues I needed help with. He was a great help when I needed some answers.

Great people who care about who they are helping. They are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty with the services that they provide. In today's age, integrity and genuine people are becoming harder and harder to find, but I found them both here at James McKiernan. Thank you again

Highly recommended. Caleb is very knowledgeable, the staff is friendly and very easy to work with. I was very satisfied with the settlement.

Caleb, Monica and company exceeded my expectations. Blew them right out of the water actually. Not only did they produce a much better than anticipated outcome, but I knew all along that I could do my life and they'd do their job. When my involvement was required, I was reminded that I had things to do. A very very easy 1st go at the legal system. Cannot reccomend them highly enough.

I had a great experience with John Hayes, his expertise put me at ease. I was very stressed n John walked me through the very uneasy situation (as everyone knows ) auto accidents can be a stressful experience. As I saw John Hayes work, my confidence grew. I am very happy my friend reccomend James McKiernan. Meeting John Hayes was very nice, I met an attorney and left having a friend. Thanks to all at James McKiernan Attorney office. Mr. Ray Chacon

James McKiernan is the best lawyer ! I was hit by a drunk driver years ago. James and his team of friendly staff have provided the most amazing help anyone could ask for! Found myself with another one of life’s situations and called James McKiernan. He’s stood by my side and walked me through each step one at a time. Thank you for the awesome support again! Sincerely, Alexander M.

I give more stars if they were available to give. Thank you Jim
