Shelly Lamar Kennedy

This lady seemed to care at the beginning of my custody case, saying all the right stuff. As time went by getting her on phone to discuss issues or gerting paperwork (I did all leg work getting papers) and she still came to court unprepared and seemed to be more interested in the ground than cross ...examing my ex. She even let the other lawyer badger me with out one objection. The only time she would return calls is if I threatened legal recourse against her. She seems to only care about being paid and then could care less about the outcome. She should be reviewed by the bar association and I am still debating filing a grievance against her law firm. SHE DOESNT SEEM TO CARE ONE BIT SAVE YOUR CASH AND HIRE SOMEONE WHO WILL SHOW THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL A CASE DESERVES

I was a little leery at first, because Shelly is pretty laid back and nothing seems to phase her. I suppose it's because she has seen and heard it all. But once she was in deposition, she obliterated my wife -- caught her in so many lies, and exposed her for the truth. Then we were in the court an...d Shelly did a great job. She was so prepared and knew the right questions to ask my wife. My spousal support went from $1,000.00 per month to $350.00 a month -- I could live with that. I really would recommend Attorney Kennedy. I read the other reviews here, and some of the not so positive ones seem to be written by clients not paying their bill -- at least that one review you can figure that out just by what was said. My divorce wasn't cheap, but that is not what I was after. I wanted someone to be very aggressive and very prepared. Shelly was both.

Shelly really helped me through a tough time. I ended up with my kids and my 401(K) intact. For that I am grateful. She kept in regular contact me and I appreciate the ability to talk to her on the weekends. She returned my telephone calls and saw me before Court. The process was longer than I w...ould have liked, but I guess that is the court system for you. There wasn't a whole lot of arguing back an forth -- some for awhile, but it still took us about a year to get divorced. I thought my attorney knew her stuff and gave me the advice that I needed to hear. She didn't blow smoke and just tell me what I wanted to hear. My attorney fees seemed reasonable and I'm glad to be done with the process. I would highly recommend Shelly if you are going through a divorce or custody case. She will take care of matters and get your case done as fast as possible.

Shelly is an excellent lawyer. She handled my divorce and custody case that took 2 years to resolve. The length of time that it took was not Shelly's fault. I liked the fact that I could choose whether to communicate directly with Shelly or use one of her paralegals. The current reviews are not f...air -- probably someone who didn't want to pay their legal fees or for lawyer time, yet complained about the use of paralegals. Shelly advised me well, was dogged in the courtroom and kept me informed all along the way. I would recommend her to anyone.
