Exceptional Legal Representation by Attorney Frank H. Kerney III and The Consumer Lawyers:

Exceptional Legal Representation by Attorney Frank H. Kerney III and The Consumer Lawyers: I recently had the privilege of being represented by Attorney Frank H. Kerney III and his assistant Jason Placeres from The Consumer Lawyers in a complex case involving credit reporting issues. From the outs...et, Frank and his team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. What stood out to me was their unwavering commitment to my case. Frank and Jason were always available to answer my calls, texts, and emails, ensuring that I was kept informed and reassured throughout the entire process. Their communication was clear, timely, and empathetic, which made a significant difference in my experience. Frank's ability to see the value in my case, where I initially saw little, was nothing short of remarkable. He not only recognized the distress and impact the situation had on me but also skillfully navigated the legal complexities to secure a favorable outcome. The settlement, though confidential, was beyond my expectations and brought much-needed closure and relief. The Consumer Lawyers' expertise in consumer law, particularly in credit reporting issues, is evident in their approach and results. Frank's strategic thinking, combined with his compassionate understanding of the challenges clients face, makes him an outstanding advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Frank H. Kerney III and The Consumer Lawyers to anyone facing consumer-related legal issues. Their ability to turn a challenging situation into a winnable case is a testament to their skill and dedication to their clients. If you're looking for a legal team that goes above and beyond, look no further than Frank and his team.

I retract a review that I wrote for Mr. Kerney.

There was a huge misunderstanding on my part although Frank did make numerous attempts to clarify. Frank is honest and has a good conscience for the people he tries to help. I would definitely recommend and use Frank again.

Very helpful

Mr. Kearny is a great and genuine person. He offered to help me even though my case was outside of his area. He is a great person and wished me well. I highly recommend him. He is someone that cares about PEOPLE! Which is all you can ask for.. Very kind person...

Posted by Briana | October 15, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Dedicated Professional:

I had the pleasure of working with Frank Kerney about a month ago regarding a speeding ticket I received. I obviously couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome and absolutely recommend this firm for any traffic citations or other issues you might have. I was obviously quite stressed when I initially... called them over my ticket. They couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, as well as thorough in their explanation of how they could help. I did not have to actually go to court, Frank went for me both times and when all was said and done he mailed me my 'close of case letter'. Frank explained the entire process and he was more than happy to answer all my questions. After our initial communication, they kept in touch with me over the following few months via email, and now the icing on the cake - to tell me my case had been dismissed. From the very first phone call, to the very last email, my experience with Frank has been exceptional. I would recommend to anyone!

Honest, Helpful, Extremely Knowledgeable

Frank Kerney proved to be an amazing choice in attorney. He is extremely skilled and tenacious, and the way in which he carries himself is respectful and kind. He was always willing to go the extra mile to keep me and other clients at ease, even giving out his personal cell phone number to every clie...nt. He is very easy to talk to and knows his stuff. I have always and will continue to utilize Mr. Kerney for the future, he is a wonderful attorney.
