Great hardworking lawyer

Kenneth Resnik is a lawyer, who has great personal and professional skills. He was always patently and confidentially explaining all options client has and make suggestions, which work the best for defendant. Kenneth, a person who does his “homework” and always prepared for the case. I do like th...at he always has plan A and plan B as back up. His fee is reasonable and corresponding to service he provides. I would recommend Kenneth Resnik as great lawyer, who is hardworking and always does the best for his clients.

I'd like to commend Attorney Resnik for a very thorough job in representing me during the past few months. I'd like to thank him for lending a keen ear to my concerns and being supportive of my position and finding all avenues to present my case and bolster my defense. I found him to be a great list...ener with attention to the details and always receptive to calls/emails etc. Job well done!!!!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
