During my many years practicing family law, I have developed a deep appreciation for great family lawyers like Kendall Summers. Kendall’s professionalism is exceptional and she has all the qualities of a great family law practitioner and more. Kendall is not only an expert in family law but also keeps herself up to date on other areas of law that are often times needed in family law work. Kendall is trained in multiple forms of dispute resolution -including negotiation, mediation, litigation and collaborative law. She makes sure that her clients are well-informed and that they choose a dispute resolution process that helps them achieve their goals while being cognizant of the impact on their family. Her passion and compassion for her work and the people she works for make her a diligent, highly competent and sensitive advocate. I highly recommend Kendall Summers as a family law attorney.
Evan Koslow, Family Attorney on Dec 11, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Kendall Summers. Kendall was opposing counsel on a divorce/custody matter in which I observed Kendall advocate for her client, while at the same time providing the necessary and appropriate counsel in order to have the parties reach a very comprehensive settlement. I am looking forward to hopefully being able to see her as opposing counsel in subsequent cases!

I endorse this lawyer. Kendall Summers was opposing counsel in a highly contested matter. Kendall is a highly skilled and experienced attorney. She is well prepared, organized and intelligent. She is an effective negotiator and is able to obtain favorable settlements for her clients. She is also a zealous advocate who is equally comfortable litigating cases that cannot settle. These are just a few of the reasons that I highly recommend and endorse this lawyer.

I endorse this lawyer. Kendall is extremely knowledgeable and pragmatic and works very hard to get the best results for her clients. She has a "no nonsense" approach and clarifies the issues so that all of her energy is spent on achieving the best results possible--all of which inures to the benefit of her clients. Moreover, she is a generous colleague. I recommend Kendall without reservation.

I endorse this lawyer. I have referred my clients and friends to Kendall. All have been extremely pleased with her responsiveness, talent, compassion, and efficiency. She is the first attorney I turn to on any family law matter, and each time I have sent one of my clients to her, those clients come back to thank me for doing so.

Ms. Summers is an excellent attorney and mediator. She will fight for her client, but also assist them in reaching a settlement. As a mediator, she helps parties work past their difference so that the family can succeed in the future.
