unreliable

This attorney is unreliable and has questionable ethics. During mediation, he left me alone with the mediator for over two hours, for which I still got billed. He tried to settle out of court, but when that fell through, he upped my" flat rate". Out of many phone calls and texts over 6 months, he o...nly returned two. His assistant however is a very nice and helpful person. Unfortunately her hands are tied because John makes the final decisions. I was also put off by how he had berated my previous attorney and our opposing attorney. I hope that you will research his court cases before retaining John Kenny.

Highly Recommend Mr. Kenny

I have known Mr. Kenny for approximately 6 months becoming acquainted with him from a friend who advised me he was the best attorney to hire for my son's child custody/parternity case. Being a family law case there where a lot of emotions, we were very anxious and called a lot. Mr. Kenny was always... ready to listen to my concerns, my questions and gave realistic expectations to each of my issues. Although the mother of the child tried to limit time and make the situation unbearable, Mr. Kenny was prepared, he fought hard for my son's parneting time and we are thrilled with the final resolution. The settlement was very favorable not just becaseu of how hard he worked, but becase he listend and he was ready for every scenrio. I highly recommend JOhn Keny as he is wihtout reserveration an asset to his clients and the profession.

amazing attorney

I would highly recommend John to anyone. He is not only a great attorney but also made me feel like I was his friend. He returned all calls and was very helpful. I was always informed on what was happening. He made my divorce as good as a divorce can be. Very very pleased with him.

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.
