Very bad experience

My wife had a case for social security disability. We went to the court and the case was denied. We didn’t even know the lady that appeared in court and she did nothing for her. Lack of respect from the judge to my wife and to even the lady attorney because the judge made her to shut up and she did. ...She did not explained the case to the court either. Do not recommend to anybody

A Caring, Brillant Professional

I was the victim of a workplace murder attempt. I was stabbed 17 times and survived. As a result, I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Life can be difficult and confusing for me. For nearly six years, Dennis Kenny has shepherded me through the Workers Compensation system with great patience..., honesty, compassion, and competence. He is a smart lawyer and a good man who really cares about his clients and knows how to communicate with them. I do not know how I would have made it through this experience without this fine lawyer and human being.

Compassionate, Professional, and Effective

Mr. Kenny help my father secure a settlement with a large employer after an accident left him materially impacted. He was compassionate throughout the process, treating my father like a human being and not just another case file. He was professional, meaning he was diligent in his efforts, responded ...quickly to our inquiries and helped us navigate, what would have otherwise been, a very difficult process. He was effective in securing a settlement for my father who would have otherwise faced significant financial hardship. We as a family are sincerely grateful for Mr. Kenny's services and would recommend him to anyone needing help with a worker's compensation or injury case. Our case was settled years ago, I only recently came across Avvo and was compelled to write this review.
