I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT HIRE ANN OR HER FIRM TO REPRESENT YOU IN A CONTESTED DIVORCE OF ANY KIND, IF YOU DON'T WANT

This is an honest review that has been long overdue. In 2022, I hired Ann E. Kennedy to represent me in my contested divorce, but she never took my case seriously nor effectively represented me because I am Black and an immigrant. On the day of my mediation scheduled for Ann, my so-called lawyer, and... me to meet with my Ex, his lawyer, and the Mediator, Ann never showed up at the meeting until many hours later. She only sent a young kid who is NOT even a paralegal, let alone a litigator. The clueless boy had no idea what to say or do. The Mediator asked him many questions, but he couldn't answer any and doesn't even know anything, for real. Much later, Ann showed up and talked too much, exchanging pleasantries with the mediator as old-time friends catching up and all that, stating that she had another mediation scheduled for the exact same date and time, and right after that, she disappeared again and never showed up until mediation was over. I was utterly disappointed and crying afterwards. I had no representation, yet I was paying a lawyer for legal representation. Ann, why schedule another mediation for the exact same time and date, when you were the one who did the scheduling that works for all parties?What broke the camel's back for me and still hurts my life to this day is that everything that was agreed upon during the mediation was not captured by the mediation documents nor the final divorce decree document. Meanwhile, the mediation meeting was recorded! In spite of the hurtful fact that during the mediation, I had no lawyer to help me and negotiate anything on my behalf, and I ended up just accepting whatever my Ex and his lawyer wanted, my own dumb lawyer literally omitted 2 of my Ex's debts (see them attached), which he himself stated that he would be paying and should be awarded to him. When I called Ann's attention to her errors, she told me that it was too late and they couldn't be corrected, and that if I wanted them corrected, I should pay her again to file another divorce lawsuit. WHAT? WHAT THE F**K?!!! How's that my fault? Why should I pay for your own errors and omissions?I reached out to the companies and explained and wrote letters to the credit reporting agencies—Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax—but they all refused to remove those negative accounts from my consumer credit profile. Worse off, both companies still report both accounts as active and showing that I missed 22-30 payments till today. Even when I tell them that the 2 bills were awarded to my Ex and they say, Show me your final divorce decree, and I send it over, they all think I'm telling lies, and no one believes me because my unintelligent lawyer, Ann E. Kennedy, failed to represent my interests by including at least all the items my Ex & his lawyer insisted were the only things they'd assume responsibility for.The very worst part is that twice I have tried to purchase a house or condo since after my divorce, both accounts hunt me down, and they deny my mortgage loan, even rental property, simply because of ANN's heinous mistake. As a result of the above ugly experiences, when Ann sent me a final bill citing that I will pay the clueless DUMBF**k child she sent who wouldn't talk to the mediator nor provide answers, I refused to pay her whatever she wanted to extort more from me because she literally ruined my life and still wanted me to pay her for it. I have been waiting for her to sue me so I can expose her to the state bar association & all, but she hasn't sued me yet.I was and still soo heartbroken by this till today, especially each time I open my credit report and see the ruins. ANN E. KENNEDY'S DUMB**S HAS CAUSED ME! I think I may have to sue Ann or at least report her to her state bar because my creditworthiness & my life have been ruined by her sloppiness, discrimination, & lackadaisical attitude towards my case & her representation of me & my interests during that matter. If I were a white woman, would Ms. Ann have done this to me?
