Michael A. Kennedy

Hired for custody case. The judge literally had to pause the hearing because Mr. Kennedy was incorrect about the type of custody I currently had. Once the court case resumed, we again had to pause so I could personally work out a deal with opposing counsel for healthcare for our son. This is somethin...g I asks Mr. Kennedy for and was told “that will never happen.” Well it did that day through speaking across Mr. Kennedy and communicating with opposing counsel to obtain the desired outcome. As the case progressed, there was an area that Mr. Kennedy had stated we would object to and have dismissed immediately. The opposing counsel brought it up and continued talking as I sat there wanting to kick Mr. Kennedy under the table. FINALLY he objected. The judge simply said, “if you wanted to object, you should have stated it when she began and over ruled him.” It was horrible. After all of this I received the final bill. I was shocked to see it included all the times Mr. Kennedy called to ask the same questioned that were answered in his office. He just couldn’t remember. He also gave us paperwork to fill out for court and my husband realized it was another client’s paperwork and it was already filled out. At the end of the court case Mr. Kennedy stated he thought the case went well. I replied what about the part that you were supposed to object to? He brushed it off and said, “Well we will just go back to court to try to overturn the verdict.” Not what you want to hear after having to work out your own deals with opposing counsel and have your case stopped twice by the judge because your lawyer doesn’t have his crap together. I found him to be arrogant, argumentative and lacks the skills to litegait as a lawyer. should retire or be disbarred.
