Expect Success

Frank Kerney represented me and my 3 year old daughter in a paternity case in which I was seeking to get custody of my daughter, which is a difficult task to do as a father. He helped me get 100% parental responsibility of my daughter and got us a child support each month, and he helped me get my dau...ghter out of a dangerous situation with her mother. I am forever grateful to him and his firm. My concerns were taken seriously, I was treated with respect, and in many cases my questions and concerns were literally answered in minutes of contacting him. I could not have expected more. I would highly recommend Frank to anyone. He will go after what you want but also tell you what you need to hear in order to make your goals, expectations, and results realistic and attainable. I never expected to be thus impressed with an attorney, but I could not be happier with what Frank and his firm did for me and my daughter. We are happier now than we have been in a very long time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
