Custody Case

When I first met Mr. Mckeny I knew right away he was straight to the point and extremely nice. I knew that he was who I needed considering the circumstances. He filed for Emergency Custody of my daughter and it was granted. Within a little over a week we were in court and he was excellent. He talked ...circles around my ex and she didn’t know what to do or say. He helped us come to an agreement and I was granted custody of my daughter because her mother didn’t want to go too court considering everything that was going on.

horror of a so called lawyer

This man should have been disbarred. I paid him $3000 to do a custody case for me and he did nothing. He took my money and left NC and was later disbarred. I never got my money back. He isn't fit to represent a pig.

Whoever you are Sarah. You were not a client of mine. I have no record of any client named Sarah that ever paid me 3000.00 for a custody case, prior to my moving to Colorado. Why? Because that never happened. Also it is interesting how NO ONE ever contacted me concerning your assertions. Please take your untruths elsewhere.

Pleased Client

I have had the pleasure of finding and then knowing Trippe McKeny for a good number of years now! Not only has he been able to help me with my own personal matter, but also many other family members and friends too.. His carrring knowledge and support for his clients' cases and my familes' has made... legal issues a more barible. The personal attention by Trippe McKeny gives his clients the strength and courage to stand up and fight for what is right. Personlly, Trippe had helped supporting and advicing myself on the matter of on going all out battle involving my daughter and an unwilling EX...(im sure you have heard the stories of how fun that can be). , .but his assurance of what is right ...always helped me to fight harder. Trippe has been there for the smaller things too....i.e. business, family and a traffic violation. As I had mentioned...he has worked with a good number of my family members and friends. For many years he has supported his community, his clients needs, his duties as an honerable attorney, his family and must important his LOVE for our almighty GOD! "Thank You Mr. William Trippe McKeny Esquire....keep touching lifes the way you do!"

Do not hire this quack

I hired this so called lawyer for an adoption and paid him a lot of money. He did nothing. I was told that the adoption was going the way it should and was asked to pay more money and more money and more money and nothing was done. After about 2 years of paying Mckeny all this money I still did not... have my adoption. My daughter was to enter school and I needed the adoption papers and found out then that NOTHING was done to start the adoption after 2 yrs and ended up being out thousands of dollars and had to hire another lawyer to do the adoption which was done in less than 2 months. I wouldn't hire this man to represent my dog.
