After experiencing a very difficult personal situation I wasn't sure what to do or what my legal options were. After speaking with a few other attorneys I came across Mr. McClanahan. Not only did he clearly explain my legal options in laymans terms establishing a clear understanding of each, he also gave me in-depth understanding of the ramifications each choice might have. He was professional while remaining friendly and attentative, often times attorneys can be pushy or confusing-- Mr. McClanahan was none of that. As I took my time weighing my options and making a decision Mr. McClanahan always made himself available for questions, answering each promptly and completely. Once my decision was made, Mr. McClanahan expertly laid out the legal tactic he was taking, timeframe, possible hurdles, and what action he needed me to take. The results of the litigation were BETTER than I had hoped. I highly recommend Mr. McClanahan for any legal matter and he will be my first call in the future.
