Class Act

I cannot recommend Kendal highly enough. Kendal handled complex personal, business and real estate issues with confidence, integrity, and compassion. Ultimately, I ended up with a settlement better than I ever imagined. I had always heard horror stories of over-billing from lawyers. Not once, was tha...t my experience. In fact, Kendal routinely advised me on the best ways to keep costs low. I hate to see anyone in this situation, but if you are- she is a rare find.

Excellent Attorney

Kendal has been a wonderful asset to an ongoing custody and child support issue. She goes above and beyond and always responds to me in a timely manner. I've had two attorneys for this custody issue prior to hiring Kendal that have not been able to help me and my son like Kendal has. She's understand...ing, compassionate, and calm. She always has an answer to my questions and has never misled me. She's intelligent and knows how to handle complex issues. I couldn't ask for a better attorney to be on my side. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart Kendal.

Trustworthy, clear, and effective legal services.

Kendal O'Keefe represented me in my child support case. I had a consultation with her before I retained her services. She offered clear advice and straight forward solutions in a timely manner. I felt listened to, well advised, and very well represented. She always answered emails and was availab...le via phone. If she was going to be busy on another case, she let me know. Her calm presence and well-articulated writing and speaking helped me gain the child support I was due, as the judge ruled in my favor. She stayed on top of deadlines for appeals and let me know what to expect at all points of my case. I would recommend her to anyone. She is intelligent, compassionate, and extremely professional!

Happily divorced thanks to Kenda

Kendal was awesome to work with through my divorce. She had my and my sons best interest at heart. She efficiently processed any requests or follow up needed l, and also responded to me always in a timely manor. She worked well with locating and getting the signed divorce papers back from my now ex h...usband. Thanks to her legal assistance and guidance and I was able to have my divorce finalized by the end of the year and start 2017 with a clean slate.

Best ever

So 8 years ago my daughter was abducted by my ex-wife and she went to Mexico and this year in March my wife was on Facebook and found out that my daughter was no longer in Mexico but in Minnesota. With the great help of some detectives here in Utah we were able to locate her. Then I was online lookin...g for attorneys and I came across avvo website. I am so grateful I did because I found the two best attorney's in the whole state of Minnesota Miss Kendal was very very very nice to me she treated this as if it was her in my situation. The other attorney I had was Zac he's mean Junkyard Dog in my eyes he got things done. The only bad thing is that I'm in Utah and they are in Minnesota i wish they could be my attorneys here. When I hired them they told me 2 weeks to get my child back well it wasn't 2 weeks it was 9 days. They are fast and very effective. Thanks to Zack and Kendal after 8 years of not seeing my child I have her back here in Utah. One more thing not many attorneys give you there cell number and answer your calls on Saturday or Sunday well they do. I highly recommend these guys and their firm. Thanks Zack and Kendal god bless you for all you have done for me I never dreamed I'd have my daughter back.
