Lan B Kennedy-Davis

My wife and I have relied on Lan's quick assessments, responses, proposal of alternatives and information accuracy that has allowed us to make difficult decisions with our family over the past 16 years. Lan's compassion makes it bearable to move forward with options and their impact. Lan thinks out...side of the box. She truly acknowledges it's all about people and her skills and relationships with her colleagues very much helps Lan navigate a large complex Court System. Lan not only knows the Law, she knows how to apply it quickly to her Clients's Cases. We've given Lan many challenges and she has been consistent and persistent to help achieve the best possible outcome. We consider Lan part of our Family. We couldn't have survived the highly emotional situations without her. Lan is also forward looking and always has new options to present. Lan gets the most difficult and emotional Cases done. My wife and I have been truly Blessed and extremely pleased throughout the 16 years with Lan B. Kennedy-Davis' performance and confident but aggressive demeanor.

Lan is a superb attorney who dedicates her time and efforts in knowing everything possible about the situation and researching the law to make sure the advice given to her clients is the best. She kept us apprised of everything that would happen during the course of our civil suit and thoroughly pr...epped us for court. No matter what my need is in the legal field, Lan will always be the attorney I turn to.

I hired Lan after checking myself and my 3 children into a domestic violence shelter. I needed a divorce from a controlling, psychologically and physically abusive man I'd been married to for almost two decades, and was in the fight of my life over the custody of my children. Lan helped me navigat...e a chaotic time during which Florida had no jurisdiction in our divorce or custody case (we had just moved to Florida from Texas). Like many battered women, I had no concrete proof of abuse since I never called the police during one of my husband's rages. As we prepared for an injunction hearing, Lan joked that she was an expensive therapist, but her encouraging words, lack of condescension, and knowledge of the cycle of domestic violence helped me emerge quickly out of the mental fog I was in as a result of having been battered for 19 years. Lan is straightforward and ethical, and had the gravitas to take on my abusive spouse and his wealthy family. Her compassion and ability to relate to my traumatized 14 year old daughter has had ripple effects on my daughter's healing that continue to this day. Florida's laws protecting spouses and children from their abusers lag behind those in other states, but you couldn't find a better champion for their cause than Lan. She taught me how to fight back, and today, I live a happy life free of abuse. Lan is a force of nature, and no amount of money could compensate her for the profound positive impact she had on my life and the lives of my children.

Ms. Lan B. Kennedy-Davis is an "Esquire Extraordinaire." I qualify this title as one who grew up among lawyers (my father and brother) in my immediate family. I located her after having lost in civil court and appelate court in Seminole County, FL. I was truly the "victim" of a vicious, aggressi...ve, and materially unfounded lawsuit, involving my family (one surviving parent and 8 siblings) who ganged up against me. As the daughter of a former judge, I knew that anything can happen (and yes, "anything goes" at times in a court of law). I also heard from the best of them (attorneys) that they admittedly won some cases they should have lost and lost some they should have won. Still, when it was adjudicated that I was the "loser", I remained unwilling to accept "defeat." I appealed and lost. I still would not accept "defeat." Enter Ms. Kennedy-Davis of Davis & Kennedy, PA., Lake Mary (central Florida). She enthusiastically took my case. I was overly impressed with her intelligence, presence and aggressive tact, and willingness to fight what would be a long, egregious, uphill battle. My only option to eradicate the judgment was to file bankruptcy...and end the years of harassment and legal abuse from my family. Being a defendant in a lawsuit is emotionally and financially taxing, and in my case, because it was a complex matter, extremely consuming. When I hired Ms. Kennedy-Davis, for the first time ever, I started sleeping at night. All I wanted was a "fight." I never believed I received such from my prior representation. Understand the severity of my situation: the plaintiff was actually moving to foreclose on my home! Ms. Kennedy-Davis navigated through varied courts: circuit civil, probate, appelate and federal bankruptcy, defeating four attorneys to "win" for me. Throughout, she and her firm treated me with immense respect, listened to me, was extremely responsive and gracious...and kept her sense of humor about it all. The depth of her knowledge and expertise, and the respect she commands from judges in the courtroom is astounding. She acted so promptly to "slay the savage beast" in what was complex and very time-intensive. I really felt as though I was her only client. She was so "all over" my case. Her strategic and precisely-timed motions and briefs were "things" (for lack of a better word) of beauty. I was for sure on a "slippery slope" before I hired Ms. Kennedy-Davis. Her tireless efforts and astounding achievements have truly given me my life back. I am a worldly middle-aged woman with varied interests. I hold a B.S. degree in Journalism (concentration in print media) and pride myself in a fine command of the written word. As I've told her on many occasions, her work has left me "speechless", a word I never believed I would "write."
