Gordon McKernan, Jerry McKernan and the staff of Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys all believe that it is important to give back to others. This giving back takes many forms - educational, religious, medical, arts and culture, legal, sports and others. As a result, the partners and the entire law firm support and participate in many community related projects.
Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys was originally founded as McKernan Law Firm in the early 80's by the late Jerry McKernan who based his law practice on Christian principles and protecting the rights of people whose lives had been impacted through an accident. McKernan Law Firm began as a small injury firm with only a few attorneys.
The firm grew during the 90's, and by the time Gordon McKernan took over running the firm it had expanded to six attorneys. Eventually, the firm became known as Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys and has expanded to over 200 employees, 55 attorneys, and thirteen offices. Inspired by his father to practice law, Gordon took over the firm in 2009 and has dramatically increased his presence throughout Louisiana.
Gordon remains grounded in the Biblical principles that he was taught by his family, and continues to devote his practice to helping clients resolve their personal injury claims fairly. Our mission at Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys is to provide the highest quality of legal service, compassion, and support to our clients and their families. Our commitment is evidenced through our constant and relentless pursuit of truth and justice while maximizing our client's recovery.
Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys currently has thirteen office locations across Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Gonzales, Hammond, Houma, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Monroe, New Orleans, Shreveport, and Zachary.
