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.

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.

Nasty, nasty lawyer!!

My husband and I went to John for advice, he told us what we need to do, grant it we did all the paperwork, he didnt even put himself down as our attorney at the courthouse. he said he would charge us $1500, which we would $700.00 of that up front. I did i paid him a few weeks went by and my husband ...has a appointment with him to discuss what he was looking at when he goes to court he said it would be $5500.00, he said i understand if you dont have it and If you decide not to do anything I will give you and your wife the $700.00 back, well when it came time to get that money his receptionist said we would have to wait until the end of the month thats when all of the checks are cut and signed, well that came along and my husband called and she stated it was mailed out, well that was a lie, no check was mailed and they will not answer the phone. I am an owner of buiness and I hate to put this on here because I know how it feels. Well the reason I am- this man has no conscious. I would not recommend him to know one. I live in Midtown and why his office is here, I don't know. I hope this will help anyone who is in the market for a lawyer stay away from this man...........
