STAY AWAY

Paul took my $1000 from me to obtain papers of Administration for an IRA left by my Mom, without a beneficiary. He did nothing, yet all the while emailed me with one excuse after another. I finally found out in February, that he is on suspension, and he took my case and my money. He tried to have an...other attorney handle the case without notifying me. I have since received money minus court court, from someone in his firm after hiring another attorney.

Beware.

He took about $5000 from me and never did a thing on my case. He destroyed my credit and got me sued by 2 credit card companies.

Paul was excellent, personable and saved my family a lot of money from the IRS.

Paul is a very thorough tax attorney that goes above and beyond to assist his clients. We were referred to Paul from a friend who had used him in the past in St. Petersburg and they had nothing butt positive things to say about Paul. So that was good enough for me as Paul totally handled all of my IR...S issues and saved me A LOT of money. Very, very, very glad I choose Paul to represent me. Definitely recommend and would hire again!

Awesome trustworthy Lawyer

I have recommended Paul to all my girl friends. Paul helped me in defense against fraudulent charges clearing my name and all accounts. As a woman business owner he was able to save me over thousands of dollars in taxes. He further worked out favorable settlements on my BOA account when the bank t...ried to charge me over 400 dollars in late fees. I would be in trouble without his help, thank you Paul :)

An exceptional Lawyer and a good man. Thank you Paul.

Paul Kennedy has successfully represented me in many cases throughout the year 6 years we have been in business together. As a former busines owner, landlord and consultant Paul has saved me thousands in contracts, liablility and taxes. His expertise has proven to be invaluable. In 24 years of ...business I have never had a more ethical, trustworthy, knowledgable and successful attorney. My only regret is I did not have Paul retained as my attorney when I owned my first company and home in the 90's. Truly a rare breed, an exceptional lawyer.
