BEST LAWYER

Simply the best

Mr Kennedy did what I thought was the impossible. He turned my divorce and child custody case nightmare in to a happy ending. For this I thank him always. I truly have to say hes the best I've seen out there. It was a crazy road but when you have him by your side it's almost like a friendship he's t...rustworthy, patient and knows his laws thanks Mr Kennedy.

Not recommended

Consulted Kennedy, was not honest about his charge for representation from the beginning. Did not hire this attorney and will not. Not trustworthy

Replied last March 18, 2019

I am sorry that you came away from our meeting less than satisfied. I always strive to communicate my fee requirements clearly and openly so that there is no room for confusion, on either end. While I do not recall the specifics of our encounter, I take your comments seriously, and in the future I will take steps to ensure I am clear and consistent when I communicate with potential and existing clients.

My custody case lawyer

Mr Kennedy did an amazing job for my family. Without going into too much detail. I had been fighting for my 10 yr old son since 2010. Last year I hired Mr Kennedy with dreams of just getting visitation because I thought custody was too far fetched. Long story short I walked out of court Jan 2017 with... not only custody but full custody of my son. I hope to never need him again but if I do I know I have him in my corner and trust him to the fullest. I also am on a very fixed income and he worked with me and still is. I consider this man not just my lawyer but my family life saver. He reunited my son and I when I was running out of hope.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
