Bracken McKey

Portland Criminal Defense Attorney

I’ve had some heavy weights on my shoulders in life, but this is one I couldn’t lift by myself. There aren’t words to express my gratitude for the work you have accomplished.

Not only did you succeed, but you knocked it out of the ball park. Its been a week and a half and last night was the best sleep I’ve had. Coming from the heart, you aren’t just a badass attorney, you genuinely care for those around you.
