Life saver

I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am for Jeff. I spoke to 10 lawyers before making the decision to have Jeff represent me and I couldn’t have made a better choice . After getting in trouble with the law for the first time Jeff got my case dismissed . He was so easy to reach (even when I calle...d multiple times a day ) he answered all my questions and explained what the process would be and bonus I didn’t even have to appear in court. Thank you so much Jeff

Hire him! You won’t be sorry!!!

When life hands you a slap in the face and you are forced with researching review after review on attorneys, stop when you read this one!!! From the initial returned phone call to our last meeting after my court date, hands down Mr. Kennedy has succeeded all my expectations!!! When I first started ca...lling attorneys, Mr. Kennedy was one of the few that personally returned my call. I knew at that very moment that he was going to represent me the best but I continued my research and meetings. Once I arrived and met with Mr. Kennedy in person, I knew 100% he was the ONE!! He is not a part of a big group firm, he is a one man show with the exception of his assistant Jenna. He told me his plan, he gave me the tools and things I needed to do prior to our court date to hope for the best outcome! I was not just a case number, they both knew my name and it was never, let me look up your case!!! Along the way I personally had more trouble, he handled it professional and for sure the best way for me and my nerves. He always put me and my family first when it came to appointments and court dates!! Well today was THE day!!! Mr. Kennedy got the absolute best outcome possible!!! The police officer that was signing off my paperwork at the end said this....."well you got the golden ticket, this NEVER happens like this, you must have a good lawyer” Yes, yes I do!!!!! He then said he knew Mr. Kennedy and he has been around for years and is GREAT at his job!!! Jenna and Mr. Kennedy thank you for listening to my countless calls and putting my nerves at ease!! You both are amazing at what you do!!! Mr. Kennedy my family and I are eternally grateful for you!!! Hire this man you will not be sorry!!! Mistakes can happen, I’m here to prove that but spend the money to make your mistakes stay in your past and not ruin your future!!!!

DWI Charge Handled

I hired Jeff to handle a DWI case. I was impressed by this man from the start. Within an hour of messaging him on Avvo, I had been contacted by both his assistant and Jeff himself. In the consultation, he laid out options and was very receptive to questions. I hadn’t hired him yet, but he was already... helping to remedy the situation. This level of excellence was maintained after I hired him as well. He has many years of experience and knows the Tarrant County Court system well. In our meetings he knew, from memory, detailed character profiles on my assigned prosecution and judge. His candor was confident and reassuring. I felt more at ease with this situation after each interaction. He presented a well thought out strategy, I followed it, and I received the result he said we could get. Jeff helped insure the best outcome for what was for me a very sobering mistake. I feel he really held my best interest in hand. His secretary should also be commend for her promptness and level of professionalism. I would highly encourage anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer to reach out to Jeff. He is excellent!

Do not look further for a DUI lawyer! He is the best in Tarrant County!

Mr. Kennedy's was very professional and went out of his way to not only do an excellent job representing me, but also was very encouraging and told me numerous times to forgive myself and move on. He will listen to everything that you have to say and will be prompt in replying. I highly recommend Jef...frey Kennedy!

Unfortunate and difficult situation

When difficult things come in life it is always helpful to have a competent and compassionate advocate on your side. Jeff and his associate Sydney were the best. Jeff is the obvious choice in the court room. He is always professional in his appearance and behavior while knowing his surroundings bette...r than any other attorney in the room. Both are readily available for any questions or consultations you require. While I agonized through the situation, the law offices of Jeff Kennedy was my best choice. I totally recommend.
