Kenneth M. Jayne

Go somewhere else. I retained this attorney 2 months before my Final Hearing (Yes, short notice because I originally hired a dunce.) He agreed to take the case on short notice. Before I go any further, let me just say that his argument will be "I only had a couple of months to get familiar with the c...ase"...if that's your argument, then you shouldn't have taken the case. Now, onto details.... My ex took my two daughters and moved to Tampa shortly before I filed. She had a job up here and obtained a job in Tampa. She lied in court, in which case, I would lean over to Mr. Jayne and tell him "that's a lie"...his response...."Don't worry about it, the Judge doesn't care about that." This happened on several occasions during the Final Hearing. When the Judge made his decision, the Child Support figures were incorrect (horribly), alimony was double and twice as long as what Mr. Jayne advised it would be, and I was to pay arrearages AND daycare....all to the tune of $2800/month (let's just say I make a little bit more than that.) Furthermore, he did object to a lot of decisions the judge decided on because the judge didn't find any "cause" for them....the opposing attorney went ahead and filed the paperwork anyways....where was Mr. Jayne??? No where...not objecting to the court or doing anything, he just let the skewed numbers and papers get pushed to the Judge without a fight. Additionally, I had grounds for an appeal...Mr. Jayne had the audacity to say "Well, I know a good Appeals lawyer." Because of his "don't worry, the Judge doesn't care about that" mentality, I am now about to be thrown in jail for contempt (for inability to pay). Hopefully this saves someone else the money and hassle.
