I was referred to Joan McKenna at O'Hagan Meyer after facing a difficult wrongful termination and retaliation claim from a former employee. While the case was stressful, working with Joan was a tremendous relief. Her deep knowledge of employment law for management was immediately apparent. She took the time to thoroughly explain the legal landscape in Virginia, outlining both the risks and our strategic options with remarkable clarity. Joan’s recognition in Employment Law – Management and Litigation – Labor and Employment by Best Lawyers is clearly well-deserved. She approached our situation not just as a legal problem, but as a business challenge, focusing on protecting our company’s reputation and operations. Her meticulous preparation and sharp negotiation skills led to a resolution that was far more favorable than we anticipated, avoiding the need for protracted litigation. Despite her impressive credentials and experience since graduating from UVA Law in '94, Joan is incredibly approachable and responsive. She made a complex area of law understandable and guided us with steady professionalism every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any business facing employment-related legal issues.
