John Maurice Kenney

Back in 2016/2017 I was a lost kid and hired John Kenney for a DUI in Bucks County. After paying his fee which I forget the total $800-2000 range - I went to treatment in Florida and came back at the end of that year as there was a warrant due to them not receiving proper treatment paperwork. I in...formed his office that I was coming back to handle this and while in court I spoke to John he said he wasn't going to make it. Luckily another lawyer in the courts that day stepped in because he recognized the issue of my lawyer not being present. I think the circumstances of what was going on impacted whatever service I would typically receive from this office. But at the end of the day he took my parents $ and rendered 0 services and left me guessing at my darkest of times (in a court anyway). ***** Entry of Appearance Not Filed*****

John is the best attorney ever!! He constantly made me feel at ease. When we went to court over a suspended registration issue: John made great negotiations with the Police Officers. I will never forget what the Judge said to me: You are innocent! You are not guilty! I paid n...o fine!!! This is one excellent attorney. Very gifted in his pratice!

The worst lawyer ever... I hired John M. Kenney 2 years ago to divorce from my ex, no status given every-time I had called. They never return your call back. He just want your money to get nothing done. This is a simple divorce, no kids and nothing in common with my ex. Definitely, would not recommen...d him at all. It is a waste of money and time. He should be banned.

After meeting with Mr. Kenney and a couple other lawyers for a free consultation on my ongoing divorce I decided to hire him because his rate seemed fair compared to the others. My ex-wife and myself were going through a mutual consent divorce and had filed the majority of the paperwork ourselves but... run into a roadblock because the judge overseeing our case was very particular. Mr. Kenney took on our case and handled the matter in a timely manner. My only issue with Mr. Kenney was his lack of communication. Initially he wouldn't promptly return phone calls and emails and was always busy when I called. His administrative assistant would take my number and said she would have him call but he never did. After all my efforts it wasn't until I paid Mr. Kenney our agreed upon fee that he started responding to calls and emails immediately. Also, I wished he was more proactive in providing information on the case status throughout the process.

Mr. Kenney instantly struck me as an, to put into nice words, unpleasant person. I hired him because I believe that just because you are unpleasant doesn't mean you aren't good at your job. Once I hired Mr. Kenney I paid him a retainer and expected his full attention to my case. That was the complete... opposite of what I received. Over the course of 3 or 4 office meetings I had to repeat the details of my case to him over and over again as he asked me the same questions every single time. It felt as if it was his first time meeting me every time. He also repeated the same line about how he doesn't BS and tells you how it is EVERY time we spoke. That seemed like a cheesy things to constantly repeat. I hired him to represent me throughout the legal process and communicate with the prosecution to find out possible outcomes or plea deals available. Not once did he communicate with the prosecution after months of being my lawyer. He didn't keep me informed of the status of my case and waited until less than a month before my trial to tell me he hadn't requested his appearance with the court of common pleas as my lawyer, and wouldn't do so until I gave him another retainer. He hadn't do ne any of things I gave him the first retainer for and then wanted another one at the last minute with my trial approaching. I would have had no problem paying Mr. Kenney a second retainer if he actually gave me literally anything that he did for my case. I repeat, there was no interaction with the prosecution about the details of my case! This was an incredibly unprofessional move and he did so by letter, not even taking the time to call me and discuss any options. Needless to say I wasn't pleased with the representation I received and got another lawyer.
