Kendal K O'Keefe

Utilized Kendal for a Family Law Case Involving 3rd Party Custody. Kendal was Professional but related to our needs & wants. Was upfront and transparent about cost. She helped us understand the process. Was prompt in returning Emails and Phone Call. Kendal ensured proper time for reviews on documents... and ensured case deadlines were met. I did not have any issues/miscommunications with Kendal. Kendal is a professional and ensures her clients needs are heard and accurately represented.

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.

Kendal has done a great job on multiple post divorce cases for me. She does a great job summarizing the facts for the court without wasting unnecessary hours being billed to the client. Her passion for her work shines through in every meeting and she gives the client a feeling of full commitment and ...dedication. I highly recommend her.

Kendal has been so helpful to me over the last year of post-judgement work in my custody case. My child's other parent is incredibly abusive, manipulative and spiteful and she has helped me to navigate the system in light of this to get the best outcome given his high-conflict behavior. She has lis...tened to me and additionally helped me understand what my child and I deserve and made sure I understood that I'm not doing anything wrong by asking for what the law allows. She has also been conscious of the cost of this work and helped me to navigate things so that the other party did not drive up my bill. I feel confident that she has the best interests of my child in mind at all times and unlike other lawyers I have dealt with, I really feel like she cares about us and isn't just there to collect a check. Lastly, she has been super responsive and when necessary very flexible so that certain "bad news" items could be delivered when my child was not with the other parent, so that emotional outbursts would not occur during parenting time. If you are dealing with a high-conflict person, the best thing you can do is to get a good lawyer from the start! My last lawyer never told me the risks I would be taking if I made certain choices nor advised me on which things would create the best outcome - and it created a lot of unnecessary pain and cost in the long term that my abuser has capitalized on. I am so thankful to have found Kendal and her firm Arnold, Rodman and Kretchmer before it got any worse.

Kendal did an excellent job handling my divorce. She represented me fairly and got the best possible outcome for me. She was professional and knowledgeable, and I never felt that she misled me about anything. She kept me informed in a timely manner and was thorough and honest. I would highly reco...mmend Kendal to anyone else who has family law needs. Great work.
