Joe Kenny is a complicit elderly abuser and needs to have his law licence revoked

Joe Kenny took advantage of my sick father by altering his will at the bequest of a sister who was unemployed and had nothing but a drug habit. My dad was suffering from advanced dementia. My dad had no clue what was going on. Later when I confronted this worm, he said he was sorry. That was it. Now ...the sister is going to rehab for drugs and alcohol addiction.!feel good about yourself Joe? We aren’t letting this go however. Watch your mail Joe… look forward to seeing you soon.

Avvo Rating

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.
