Amazing person and lawyer

I went through 6 lawyers who talked a lot but didn't or wouldn't do anything for my situation. Within two weeks of hiring Mr. Kennedy, he did more for me and my custody case than the last 8 years. He knows what he is talking about and doing. I would never recommend any other lawyer. ...If you need help, I highly recommend Mr Kennedy.

Awesome attorney!

Mike was an awesome attorney. He made everything very easy to understand and easy. He also took on my case when lots of others would have not or given up. I am lucky to have found him.

Intelligent Trustworthy Hardworking Attorney

As a father in the middle of a divorce, Mr Kennedy's judicial knowledge and ability to navigate the divorce court system made this very difficult period bearable. His understand of father (and mother) rights is second to none. There isn't an attorney in Omaha that I would trust more with my personal ...legal matters than Mr Kennnedy. On top of this knowledge and experience, his rates and time are very fair and reasonable. Do yourself a favor and utilize this attorney for your legal needs, you will have peace of mind knowing you've hired the best man for the job.

Great Experience

Mike has helped me deal with an extremely difficult ex-wife, with very good results. His experience as a School Board member and a father also adds to his expertise in handling complex issues involving children. He has represented me for 6 years now and I wouldn't use anyone else.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
