Highly recommend !!

Mr. Foote represented me in both a temporary restraining order (DVI) as well as my divorce which were both going on at the same time, Mr. Foote was very calculated in obtaining evidence that proved my innocence in regards to the DVI case . Mr. Foote wanted a longer session to show evidence and on th...e court date he showed his real skill of being one of the best lawyers in the area, he commanded the courtroom, and his questioning of the plaintiff was superb and he totally annihilated their case, the plaintiff was represented by counsel but the level of competency and knowledge between attorneys was incredibly noticeable. In the end Mr. Foote won the case. As for the divorce Mr. Foote had my best interest at heart and during an 8 hour mediation in which he had all calculations as far as assets and debts and what my share of assets should be he stood his ground when the other side came with a lowball offer, he once again showed his knowledge and understanding of family law and I walked away with a settlement that was very fair. I also need to say how incredible his office manager/ paralegal Filio was during the whole process, she kept me updated on all matters and answered any questions or concerns I had. I would say this was not an easy divorce but both Mr. Foote and Filio were there for me every step of the way. I highly recommend Foote Law firm and am thankful to them.

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.
