Knowledgeable, Detailed and Dependable!

I was in need of a last minute creation of a Will due to some changes in my personal situation. I needed this to be fully drafted and signed off on within a week prior to a trip I was taking. Anya spend time with me to help me understand the difference between a Trust and a regular Will, answered i...mportant questions that would allow me to make the necessary decisions and accommodated meeting times that fit my busy schedule. Long term I truly want a trust established so doing something quickly that would fit my current needs while also enabling me to begin the Trust to be completed at a later date was very helpful and informative. I had a Will created before and it definitely did not go into as much detail as this one does nor did that lawyer put the level of attention and professionalism into its creation as Anya did. And keep in mind I was rushing her on top of that! She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable with the decisions and satisfied with the results. She is also a very pleasant person to work with !! Great personality which honestly helps when your dealing with anything legal!

Genuine, Knowledgeable, Reliable, and Sharp - This attorney is an attribute to the Practice of Law!

Anya L. Kennedy, Esc. Listens carefully and has been genuinely sensitive to my concerns regarding my case. She is open and forthright about how the Court operates and communicates clearly about what is admissible. She possesses a keen understanding of Family Law and consults with me on all actions ...– including me as a strategic partner at every step of the process. Anya provides me with advance notice on information I am required to produce and is there to assist with any questions or clarifications I might have. Anya L. Kennedy is an attorney with character and a highly developed sense of integrity, and I am fortunate to have her as my representative. I feel confident that she will zealously protect my interests when presenting my case before the Court.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
