Outright Dismissal

My wife hired Jeff Kennedy while I was still sitting in jail. When I got out it was 4am so I waited a little later to call Jeff myself to see what I needed to do. He gave me great advice and did an OUTSTANDING job and got me dismissal from both my charges. When I can expunge these charges I will be h...iring Jeff again to do so!!

Posted by Clayton | March 30, 2023 | Hired Attorney

Excellent!

Jeff handled my case with excellent professionalism. He got me the best possible results for my situation. Him and his office are very punctual with their response times. I highly recommend Jeff Kennedy!

Best possible outcome /DWI over .15

I am so grateful I hired Jeff Kennedy as my attorney for a DWI. Jeff was professional, efficient and effective in handling my case and getting the best possible outcome. I live out of state and was arrested for DWI while visiting, my BAC test came back above .15. Jeff Kennedy was so knowledgeable an...d comforting after such an ordeal. I was able to do the simple tasks needed online and through email. He got the .15 enhancement waived and saved me from having an interlock device put on my car. Jeff took care of everything so all I had was a bit of paperwork and the case was settled easily, quickly and favorably for me. I highly recommend hiring Jeff Kennedy if you find yourself needing a criminal defense lawyer. I’m so very grateful I chose him.

Results Driven & Professional Attorney

Attorney Jeff Kennedy was able to clearly communicate with me realistic outcomes of my case, while planning a list of actions for me to proactively take prior to the court date. By taking his advice, which was not only sound but simple, he was able to deliver dismissal of all felony charges in Tarran...t County, Texas. He has saved my professional career, as I am the sole income for my family. I cannot say enough good things about this bold, powerhouse of an attorney. If you find yourself in legal trouble and need a direct path to clarity with the best possible outcome, hire Jeff Kennedy.

Jeff C. Kennedy got my charges dropped!

I was in a pretty dark place in my life but it was really nice to have someone say something to me, mean it, actively work to make it happen and come through for me. That person was Jeff C. Kennedy. Before I hired him, he told me to do what he said and not to worry. After I hired him, I followed his... instructions but couldn't help but worry. It was not necessary, because he got my charges dropped. I'm looking forward to a bright future once again.

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.
