Great attorney

James is a great attorney. He helped me with my child custody battle and won my case for me. As a father, I have not seen my daughter’s in years and James made it possible. Worth the money spent. He is very knowledgeable and very persistent. I’m very happy that I hired James as my attorney. I would... recommend him to anyone that needs a attorney in Tennessee.

James Kenis will stand up for you!

Back in August 2019 I go a terrifying phone call in the middle of the night – my mother’s house was on fire. I had no idea of the nightmare that was just beginning. Insurance investigators were questioning my mom, denying the policy she had paid for all those years, and using a lawyer. Mom was certai...n that she was going to lose everything that she and my dad worked so hard for. My husband and I decided it was time to protect my mom and we called Krenis Law. We explained everything that was going on and James didn’t just try to make us feel better. He told us the truth, but he also promised to do everything he could to make things right. We came away feeling that things might not work out like we wanted, but at least we knew that someone would be standing up for my mom. Just a couple of months ago James asked us to meet him at his office. We went in figuring that we would be discussing the depositions we had done or some other pending legal procedure, but instead James presented my mom with checks from the insurance company that covered the full amount of her loss! I couldn’t be more grateful or happier with the services that Krenis Law provided for all of us. If you need a lawyer to fight for you, then do not hesitate to call the Krenis Law Firm. He will certainly be the first lawyer I call if I ever need one personally.

Satisfied Client

I contacted Mr. Krenis about my complicated DUI case. He handled it in the upmost professional manner. Also, he pleaded my case to authorities and was able to negotiate dismissal of DUI charge. I would highly recommend Mr. Krenis.

I’ve heard good things about Mr. Krenis

I’ve heard good things about Mr. Krenis and his billboard. We decided we needed a lawyer who wasn’t a public defender. We know Mr. Krenis is going to help us! It helps that he speaks Spanish and knows about criminal law.

Met with me first thing Monday

Mr. Krenis was referred to me by a friend. He met with me first thing Monday after my incident on the previous Friday. He seemed knowledgeable and ready to help. I am impressed and ready to be helped by him.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Censured issued in TN, 2020

updated on 01/22/2021

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

James’s comment:

“Look at my Google reviews. This is the first discipline I have had in my 20 year career as a lawyer, and it was due to an angry domestic law client. They tried to crush my rating with a misleading and inaccurate complaint. If I disputed it with the licensing authority I would have been given the same discipline or worse. You won't be sorry if you give us a call!”

Publicly Censured issued in TN, 2020

updated on 08/11/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
