This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Experienced, Empathetic

From our very first conversation, Mr. Foote served as the calm amid the storm when my world was turned upside down. He's exceptionally sincere and decisive; I felt listened to and understood to the point that it felt like I was his only client each time we spoke.

An amazing attorney

I had gotten into trouble with the law in 2000 and was sentenced to prison for eight years in 2001. My wife at the time divorced me and kept my two children from me my entire sentence and then used the fact that I was an ex-felon to continue to keep them from me. Right after my son turned 18 my ex wi...fe tried to come after me for a lot of money. A friend of mine from church was an attorney and told me I need to speak with Mr. Ken Foote. I did and hired him right away. One of the best decisions I have made! Mr. Foote’s knowledge and experience was a huge blessing for me and even though I had to pay some money to my ex wife it was NOTHING compared to what she was trying to do to me and get from me. Mr. Foote was so good that the judge handling my case even apologized to me for my ex wife’s actions and what she was trying to do, in fact he wasn’t even happy with her attorney. I am so thankful to my Lord Jesus for placing Mr. Foote in my life and incredibly grateful to Mr. Foote for how much he cares about his clients and the awesome job he did for me. Thank you Ken Foote and may Jesus bless you and your firm as you continue to be a blessing to others!

Attentive, detailed, does what's best

I have been working with Foote Law Firm recently for over 4 solid years (12 years total), and from the office staff, to just getting a phone call from Mr. Foote to talk to me when I was upset, this office is amazing. They gave me all the options, all the things that could happen and prepared me for t...he worst and even the best. In the end it was clearly the best as we won our case and my children are protected. I cannot thank this Kenneth Foote and his staff enough for having everything together and being extremely responsive to mine and my children's needs.

Knowledgeable and Professional

Mr. Foote and his amazing team handled my case in a very professional and knowledgeable manner, they walked me through every aspect of a difficult time and eased my mind every step of the way. They were very timely with calls and emails to make sure I was never in the dark at any point, Mr. Foote is ...very calm and confident in his dealings with other attorneys and definitely had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend the Foote Law firm and Kenneth L Foote.

The lawyer who helps write happy endings

Mr. Foote is quite possibly one of the best lawyers that I have ever had the luxury to meet or work with. In my profession, I have worked with lawyers and the legal system, so I've had the opportunity to meet many good lawyers in my time, but when I found myself on the other end of a lengthy custody ...battle, there is no better team that I could have wished to have on my side fighting for what was best for me and my child. Mr. Foote and his wonderful team are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and understanding of everything that you may be going through or experiencing in your case. I am an anxious 'worry wart' and conflict-avoiding person by nature. So when my custody battle first arose, I found the whole emotional ordeal difficult to navigate and quite honestly, stressful and confusing at times. I felt like my whole world was catching fire. As any parent can imagine, I was overwhelmed with the thought that this was going to be a very scary and heart wrenching experience, yet what could be the most important battle of my life. I was fighting for my rights as a parent and what was best for my children and their future. I felt like I was lost....and alone. Only one child was at the center of my case, but I have two children. That meant that the fates of what is best for BOTH of my children, and for BOTH of their futures moving forward, would be decided by the outcome of my case. Enter Mr. Foot and his amazing office of intelligent, helpful, and professional staff. I felt reassured that I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even at my most anxious and exhausted, they were the most attentive and unyielding legal support system anyone could ever ask for. Setting aside their personal demeanor, the professionalism and expertise that both him and his team show, are bar none top-notch. He represented me with with the utmost respect, consideration, and determination towards the positive outcome I wanted, as well as what was in the best interest of my child. All the while sifting through the often common and time consuming hoops, run arounds, and "he said she said" pileups that can often drag out in a divorce or custody dispute. He has a no games- common sense attitude and approach that I wish more lawyers among his field had. Not only is he trustworthy, fair, and not going to back down from what's right, but also competent, prepared, and extremely well-versed in the law. With straightforward speaking and honest information, he and his team work hard to keep both parties grounded and focused on what's important. He doesn't dance around the facts or sugar coat anything to take your money and sell you fake promises that he cannot deliver. He will sit down and discuss your case in a very compassionate and direct way that makes everything easy to understand. He also calls it like he sees it and he's not afraid to keep his clients focused on the realistic scope and outcome of their case. That speaks volumes to not only the opposing counsel, but to the family law judges who will be deciding your case. I don't think I could have found a better lawyer or legal team who would fight or work as hard and passionately as they, to ensure the positive outcome I was praying for. They managed and represent my case with some of the highest ethics, morals, and legal fortitude that I have ever seen. His number one mission was to make sure that I won my case, while protecting my rights and fighting for the rights and well being of my children. He and his team represented me with the fierceness that only a fellow parent could, and I could not be more happy with the outcome. Whatever type of case you have- I am more than confident that Mr Foote and his amazing team and staff, will manage your case with nothing but the highest quality and caliber of representation, to achieve the positive outcome and winning judgment that you deserve. Thank you again to Mr. Foote and his team/staff at the Foote Law Firm! You helped write our happy ending !
