Trusted Lawyer

am super grateful that I found Jeff Kennedy. He guided me every step of the way and always answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Jeff is very good at what he does and he got me the best possible outcome for my DWI, he saved me a lot of money and time. I highly recommend hiring Jeff Kenned...y- he far exceeded my expectations!

Law Firm Jeff Kennedy and Associates

I trusted Jeff Kennedy from the moment I met him and the result was more than I could have ever expected. When you have the need for counsel trust is paramount . I strongly recommend Jeff Kennedy and his staff if you are in the need for assistance regarding a legal matter. If I called and needed s...omething I got an answer almost immediately. If the firm needed Information from me or they needed to communicate events and circumstances with regard to My case I got a phone call or e mail, voice mail immediately. Not only was there a great deal of communication from support staff but also Jeff himself. He gave me a lot of time and explained in great detail to me how events would transpire - good or bad. Honesty is integral and I felt that the entire time. This created confidence and assurance. Let’s be honest when you are looking online or are bombarded with letters in the mail after an incident, You really have no clue as to who you are dealing with and or if the result will be a positive one. If needed I suggest anyone in need of counsel to strongly take my recommendation and consider this firm and Jeff Kennedy.

Very Professional Attorney

Mr. Kennedy is by far a great attorney. I retained him for my wife after she caught a charge in Tarrant County (we’re from Houston, TX). Not being from Tarrant county, I wasn’t familiar with the justice system out there and didn’t know where to start. I did a Google search for lawyers in Tarrant coun...ty and narrowed it down to five candidates, but as soon as I spoke to Jeff I knew he was the guy. I did an online inquiry to speak to him on December 23rd during the after hours. On the morning of the 24th (Christmas Eve) he personally called me and we had a thorough conversation that lasted about thirty minutes. I retained him that day and he immediately sent over a letter of representation to the court. This was all during the holidays, everyone knows how people like to take time off and not work during this time, not Jeff, he is a work horse. It’s almost mandatory to show up to court for bond conditions, he spoke to the judge and had that waived for us due to how far we resided. By the second court setting all charges were dismissed. I would highly recommend Jeff as an attorney if you find your self in any legal trouble.

Save yourself time, money and stress and choose Jeff

After interviewing a few attorneys I knew upon my first conversation with Jeff Kennedy that he was the best choice for me. He WILL fight for you. He has good relationships and a great reputation. He knows all of the ins and outs and how to maneuver through the court process to get the results HE want...s for you, and he won't settle until he gets them. I trusted him completely from beginning to end and never had a doubt that I would get the best possible outcome at my hearing...which I did.

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
