Kendal K O'Keefe

Kendal helped me with my child custody/support case that I had with my ex-husband. She was super informative and gave me options and "could be/just in case" outcomes. She added in the factor of "choose your battles wisely" because some things aren't worth arguing about with your ex partner that will ...prolong the case (ours took about 3 years). She kept me up-to-date on everything along the way; I never felt that I didn't have enough information on my case. Kendal will provide you with every other option to avoid costly attorney fees because we all know - attorneys are not cheap. She will fight for you and with you!

One can imagine how it would feel to be in retirement and dealing with the sadness and shock of a divorce with infidelity. Kendal was introduced to me by her law partner and was a gift. She was always timely in responding to phone calls and emails, conscious of costs and reliable with expectatio...ns. Kendal is smart, strategic and quite clever at cutting through the fear that one experiences in dealing with unreasonable demands from another party. Kendal and her assistant were thorough, professional and as a woman I so appreciated their intuitive approach. I felt heard and respected during a very defeating time in my life. I would highly recommend Kendal O’Keefe as a divorce attorney.

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.
