Thomas Arthur Kenniff

OMG it is no exaggeration to say these legal eagles SAVED MY LIFE! I was in desperate need of top notch legal counsel and representation, and that's when I found the deservedly top-rated law firm of Raiser & Kenniff. Mr. Kenniff is, like me, a veteran of the armed forces, having served honorabl...y in wartime Iraq. He is also a former NYC prosecutor who was the GOP's 2021 nominee for the powerful office of Manhattan District Attorney. So Mr. Kenniff had the perfect background and mindset to be of invaluable assistance to my case. I had never been in such a daunting situation. I survived being victimized by some deranged street lowlife with a criminal record 10 times as long as this review only to be victimized by the NYPD, and the Bronx DA's office. After figuring out what had happened, both rogue institutions became hellbent on seeing me finish my life in some upstate gulag where I would be surrounded 24/7/365 by people as bad or worse than the animal whose sudden violent attack I had successfully fended off. A heavy-hitter like Mr. K was needed to defend me from these enlightened despots. The DA's office should never have filed charges against me. Besides the rank injustice of such an unnecessary and mean-spirited action, they had no evidence capable of meeting their evidential burden, even though that burden has gotten frighteningly lighter in recent years. Indeed, their only evidence was languishing in a solitary confinement unit on Riker's Island - where he should have been the night we met - and they had nothing but that maniac to go to the grand jury with. But the bitter old saying, "You can indict a ham sandwich" is true, especially in frightened Gotham, so it seemed likely I would still be put through the expense and ordeal of a full-blown criminal trial at some point down the road. And I surely would have if the assistant DA didn't know who was representing me: the notorious and feared legal gunslingers Raiser & Kenniff! When “the People” noticed who was representing me, they realized they would have many, MANY hours of work ahead of them, and in the end would STILL lose. Thank God I had the great Tom Kenniff in my corner, and that meant there was no point wasting a lot of time and resources trying to railroad me into the clink. Four months after my arraignment, a mealy-mouthed, assistant DA requested the judge dismiss all charges against me. It was all I could do to exit the courtroom without twerking! If you are in big trouble like I was don't fool around or shop around. Hire these well-known terminators and like me you'll be damned glad you did. :)

Tom, who is a partner at Raiser and Kenniff, was not only extremely experienced (he worked as DA) in criminal defense but also caring for me as a client. He walked me through the entire case and all the possible scenarios. But most importantly, he fought for me. I am forever grateful to Tom and his f...irm.

I was facing 16 years before my trail he came and made a miracle I had 7charges serous ones at that I had assault 1st° one count .Assault in the 1st° 3 count .assault in the 2nd° .assault in the 3rd° .reckless in danger meant a 1st° .reckless endangerment reckless endangerment in the 2nd° .possess...ion of a weapon in the 4th° .the had the DA had a clear cell phone video and a domino video The way Tom the way Tom Kenneth took my case and explain to the jury to the judge he did a miracle for me man and I was going to cop out to 16 years but he told me that I have nothing to lose because is my first time the most they could give me is 18 to 20 years and I hired him 4 days before my trail he didn’t have time to study my case because the circumstances but he did his best and he was studying looking for mistakes and A miracle happened and I recommend him to anybody he’s the best he works hard he’s a good person he knows how to treat a client. I have a co defender on my case and my codefendant got 15 years after trial because I guess the lawyer wasn’t good .I didn’t believe that it’s all about your lawyer till I hire tom Kenneff. I think him for everything I think him for making a miracle happen for me .He’s experienced and good he is really good-he’sThe best .I just wish I had known him a couple years earlier .I was in jail for almost 6 years fighting the case till I met Tom so thank you Tom for everything.just look my name up and you’ll see my case and you’ll see he is just the best After all of this I came out with three misdemeanors again thank you Tom thank you Tom.And thank God I hired you

Let me be clear Tom is the best criminal attorney around. After having another attorney representing me and screwing up my case, I was lucky to have found him right here on avvo. Tom took my case and immediately I was relaxed. I felt confidence in him immediately in that my case would be handled to t...he best of his ability. He is very knowledgeable about criminal law and compassionate to the needs of his clients. Because of Tom my case was dismissed today and I have my life back. If you need a great criminal attorney look no further.
