Never hire this man unless you want to be worse off than when you started!

When you first meet him he talks smooth. When you become a client he is distracted and pays attention to nothing you say which translates into incorrect documents. He doesn't respond to calls or emails. Once he has your money he doesn't even show up to court! My child custody case is now a huge mess ...thanks to Kenny and may be stuck that was for 13 more years!

Fantastic lawyer

My experience was nothing short of fantastic. Awesome in court, Mr. Kenny really worked hard and most importantly he cared about my case. He is busy, but who wants an attorney who is not busy. He was unlike any other lawyer and stuck with my case for over two years fighting for me and my children.... I would highly recommend Mr. Kenny to anyone!

Straight up bully

I needed help with a custody/child support case and he said it would be very easy and should be done within a few weeks. I paid him $2000 up front and didn't hear from him for over three weeks regardless of calls and emails to his office. His assistant is one of the nastiest people I've ever delt w...ith and is completely rude on the phone. We finally went to mediation 6 weeks later and when the paperwork came for me to sign, it was like Mr. Kenny was never even in the disucssion with the mediator and didn't fight for me at all. In the end, I lost over $2K and had to hire a REAL attorney. He is unhelpful, rude, and only cares about money, not his clients and certainly not families or the best interest of children.

"Cut and paste Kenny" Takes your money and loses your rights!!

John never helped me once he was paid his money. We went into court and I felt that he never reviewed my paperwork and DID NOT work in my benefit. He was just there for a check. I can't believe he can look in a mirror to shave that pretty face. He never followed up on the Ex being in contempt of ...court, which would have secured my fatherly rights. !!!DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT HIRE JOHN KENNY!!!

Totally Inept

For the record Attorney John C. Kenny is the worst attorney I have ever seen. We went to trial without ever reviewing evidence and as a result he did not have a single rebuttal to my ex-wife's accusations. In my possession was all the paperwork to repute her claims and Attorney Kenny failed!!! He sho...uld be disbarred!!! As a result the judge took every accusation as "fact" and justified my ex-wife's stance on not allowing visitation. Oddly when I was pro se in Michigan the court found her in willful contempt...shame on Attorney Kenny for failing to do his job!!!
