Kendal O'keefe - Top notch family law attorney

Kendal represented me in a complicated divorce case and did an awesome job! She was very professional and respectful in all our dealings, yet she was very personable too. Kendal went above and beyond to understand me, my family, and what I was hoping for in an outcome, and helped get me to that out...come. I also felt that Kendal really cared about me, and my family, and we developed a great rapport. Kendal did a great job in laying out expectations and managing any concerns that I had, and she always had good, well thought out answers. Kendal was very organized and responsive, and always kept things moving forward. I really felt like my family, and I mattered to her, and she really cared for a good, respectful, and fair, outcome. I developed a deep trust and respect for Kendal, and that helped me through a very tough process. I would highly recommend using Kendal if you find yourself in need of a great family law attorney. I have worked with a number of great professionals throughout my work career and Kendal is a good as they get! Thanks for everything Kendal!

Kendal > Than Any Other Family Attorney

I was referred to Kendal by a close family member. I couldn’t ask for a better advocate to be on my side during a divorce with children. I have 4 children, and she cares about them and how they will be affected by my divorce. Kendal is always responsive. She is efficient, respectful, determined, and ...excellent as a family attorney. I have heard horror stories about divorce yet Kendal has made the process as smooth and painless as possible. I respect her, trust her, and most of all I know she’s there for me when I need her. I will continue to use Kendal’s incredible knowledge to help me through this process and after my divorce is finalized if needed. There is nothing she has ever done that has had a negative effect on myself or my children. I have never agreed with anyone’s advice during my divorce, but Kendal somehow makes me feel at ease and knows exactly what to do. I have major anxiety and somehow she makes me feel at ease when something terrible happens. There is never a time when she doesn’t know how to handle a difficult situation. I can’t thank her enough. She is incredible at what she does, and it’s clear that this is her true calling. Thank you Kendal. I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else, and I’m glad I had a close family member who has had excellent results with you. All of Kendal’s five star reviews are well deserved.

Family Law Review

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.

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.

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.
