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 !

Excellent service, victorious outcome

Mr. Foote's overall knowledge and confidence in my case gave me such peace of mind. He kept reminding me to remain patient through the process and he was informative and encouraging. He also was very "real" and very truthful, he didn't hold anything back when explaining all potential outcomes. I'm... thankful for the help of his staff, as well. There was always a prompt reply to my questions and the ladies in his office were very knowledgeable. This was, by far, the best attorney experience I have ever had.

Long journey with a grateful ending......

Mr. Foote handle my son's case with total professionalism, he kept us all up to date on every update pertaining to the case. It took many years but in the end the outcome was a positive one. He fought long hours days and night and never gave up on my son. He did his research and presented the FACT...S and I would most definitely recommend his firm to anyone in need of a lawyer. He will definitely be our lawyer for the rest of our lives if and when we will ever need his service. Thank you again to the entire staff and Mr. Foote for the confidence in my son's case.

Best in the business!!!!!!!!

Never thought I'd need an attorney ever in my life, but if I need one again it's not even a question as to who I would hire. Kennith Foote is the best at what he does! This guy straight dominates the court room! I knew from the first phone conversation with Kennith Foote that I picked the right guy, ...we went over the case, the facts, he explained to me how all this was going to play out and what to expect. He couldn't of been more right with his prediction, and I couldn't of been more satisfied with his performance. I assure you If your reading this, that this is the guy you need and want on your side. I will also mention he was the most affordable. KENNITH FOOTE #1
