Highly recommend Mr. Kensky

Mr. Kensky represented my mother in her case this past month and working with Mr. Kensky was relieving. Mr. Kensky was sympathetic and honest to our situation. He made sure to be attentive to all details when speaking to him about the case. We reached out to his office for a consultation and were abl...e to get an appointment the next day. From the first meeting, Mr. Kensky was knowledgeable and honest when providing his opinion. My mother and I were really stressed regarding the court date and the false accusations made. From the first consultation until the court date, we had 5 meetings with Mr. Kensky in a short amount of time. Those meetings were very efficient and focused on what we needed to prepare for the court date. The meetings were long hours to be able to get through everything we needed to cover before the court date. Mr. Kensky helped us get through it and set us up to be in the best position possible for the court date. He explained his plan and thoughts in regards to everything presented to him, which helped my mother and I feel reassured as we prepared. We could not push the court date further so it was a busy couple of weeks leading up to the court date, but Mr. Kensky delivered. English is not my mother’s first language. Therefore, it requires patience and understanding during preparation to make sure everything is articulated and nothing is left out when going over evidence and preparing for the court date when going back and forth between English and Spanish. He took notes, made sure he went over facts and evidence multiple times, and thought out all possible outcomes for everything discussed. Through all this, he didn’t waiver and was not impatient when I was transitioning between English and Spanish. This made my mom feel extremely comfortable and helped relieve a little of the stress from situation we were facing. By the final meeting, we had gone through everything we had in regard to evidence and had discussed all possible outcomes. The anxiety of the court date the next day was a lot, but that meeting really was the last stretch before the court date. Mr. Kensky went through topics again that we needed to cover and was reassuring that we had the truth on our side. He also confirmed multiple times to make sure there was an interpreter requested for the court date. The actual court date was a very long day, unexpectedly. My mother and I were nervous but Mr. Kensky had our case dismissed thankfully. During the court hearing, my mother was nervous based on the topics heard but Mr. Kensky was reassuring and encouraging that we were in a great position for our case. My mother did not have to speak once thankfully and he got our case dismissed without needed her and I to speak. After the case was dismissed, Mr. Kensky spoke to the other party to attempt to come to a resolution in regard to the situation. It showed that he his goal was to dismiss the case, but also attempt to offer a solution between us (my mother and I) and the other party. I am extremely grateful to have met and have had Mr. Kensky represent us. It’s difficult to have someone dig through all the information we provided and make sense of it for presentation during court. Mr. Kensky handled that extremely well and represented us in court with the same effort. He really is a great attorney to have on your side with his expertise and grace in managing the case during what was a difficult time for my mother and I.

Outstanding Attorney Bar none

Matt Kensky is an excellent attorney who took a personal interest in my case. Myself and my loved ones had been stalked, harassed and threatened for the past nine months. The amount of material was substantial - but Matt tirelessly went through all of the facts to present the best base we could - h...e was awesome! I appreciate aleverything Matt did and when we were in court, everyone in Fairfax knew and respected Matt. I am so grateful (apologies to Matt for not being eloquent) for everything he has done for us. He was prepared, he spent hrs on hrs on strategy sessions, had case law at his fingertips, and executed the case flawlessly in court. I can't say enough good things about Matt and even had we lost (we won!!!! a permanent Civil Protective Order) I felt that I had the best, most, respected attorney in the courtroom. Matt is excellent, period. If you want to be represented in the best possible way, hire Matt and he will do an excellent job for you. I will and would recommend Matt to everyone who faces this situation. Matt - thank you for everything - your services were worth every penny to me and much more. I wish I could express my gratitude and your skills in a better way. Ted

Very helpful, professional, and insightful

Ms. Borjian did an excellent job organizing the information for my case, and passing it on to Mr. Kensky, who represented me in court. Extremely happy with my experience. Both Ms. Borjian and Mr. Kensky are very professional, and are absolute experts in what they do.

Hire him!

I recommend Matthew Kensky to everyone! He helped me with my challenging court case that other lawyers turned away. He took a risk and won my case. He’s very professional, friendly, and truly has a passion helping other people! Hire him!

Can't ask for more.

As the title suggests, I couldn't have asked for more than the service Matt provided. He was straight forward with me from the initial phone call I had with him where he let me know everything that could happen and even what my options were I to decide not to hire legal counsel. I appreciated Mat...t's honestly and candidness about his experience with cases similar to mine, and that put me at ease from the start. I knew I was dealing with someone who had experience and expertise, and was someone I could trust with my case. During our first meeting, Matt laid out a plan for my case and advised me on what he thought I needed to do in order to have the best chance of a positive outcome on court day. I followed Matt's plan and it indeed lead to the outcome we were both hoping for. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for legal counsel, as he is clearly highly knowledgeable in his area of work, and he'll always have your best interest in mind.
