Get er done!

My Ex told me that her and my daughter were a package deal and if I divorced her I would never see my daughter again. She was almost right until after 3 lawyers found John. He is extremely knowledgeable and laid out the game plan in about 20 minutes. I watched her dominos fall just as John predicted.... Lowered my child support from ridiculousness of $1200 per month to $250 and increased my visitation in one swoop. Who could ask for more?

No Doubt

I am not one to write reviews, but in this case I had to step forward. I hired John in the hopes of keeping my costs low and resolving my case quickly. John did an amazing job at reviewing what I and my Husband had proposed and more importantly providing suggestions which proved to be incredibly he...lpful and ones we had not thought about. His knowledge, his expertise, his ease of handling gave me confidence I had chosen the right attorney. He was responsive to my calls and emails although unlike some of the reviews, I recognize I was not his only client. The experince I had made a very upsetting dissolution rather easy. Should you hire John? No doubt.

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.

MAN OF HIS WORD

John C Kenny is a Great Attorney and I felt a bond that was beyond Attorney to Client relationship. I was in a terrible situation and he assured me that I would get everything that I was entitled too with the visitation of my son. He is very knowledgeable of the Laws in Florida and will fight for you... till the end. I was very hesitant because this was a delicate situation and I wanted the best to represent me, and he made me feel at ease with a quick response to the summons and informing me of the laws since I was new to Florida. Mr. Kenny is worth every penny that I spent for his representation and is very fair compared to other attorneys that just wants you to pay before they even talk to you. You won't go wrong with this choice.

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.
