Anne E. Kennedy is the epitome of excellence in family law.

Anne E. Kennedy, Attorney At Law truly stands out as an exceptional family law practitioner. I had the privilege of working with her during a challenging time in my marriage, and her expertise, compassion, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. From the moment I reached out to h...er firm, I knew I was in capable hands. Anne's tenacity and unwavering commitment to her clients are truly commendable. She navigated me through the complexities of my case with utmost professionalism and compassion. Not to mention, her rates are incredibly reasonable and cost effective. With Anne Kennedy Family Law by my side, I felt empowered and confident every step of the way. If you're looking for a trustworthy and highly skilled family law attorney, look no further than Anne E. Kennedy - she is simply outstanding.

Bad Asss Lawyer

Anne Kennedy is a bad ass lawyer and worth every penny. She not only got me what I wanted in my divorce but she would not back down and let me settle for anything.

The Lawyer for You!

When I first visited Ms. Kennedy last fall, I felt like she was someone I could relate to but also someone that would fight for the best interests of my family. She walked me through the process and I felt really confident on the stand with her guidance. The best part about it was it was quality work... for half the price I expected. I was always able to get ahold of her, even by text. I highly recommend her!

Finally able to sleep

I found myself in a bogus civil lawsuit from a business that I had owned several years back. I had consultations with a few lawyers prior to finding Anne Kennedy. After speaking with the other lawyers i was legitimately scared, because all they were worried about was how was i going to be able to pay... them and not about representing me. That is when i found Anne she gave me a sense of ease after our consultation, I immediately retained her. The case was a difficult one to say the least but Anne stuck by myside through it all and not once did I ever feel like she or her staff was not there to answer any and all questions. I don't understand why the previous reviewer would say that she was not there for them when upon retaining her she gives you her personal cellphone number and responds quick. She went out of her way to accept my case which is a civil case when she specializes in family law and immigration, when other attorneys didn't even give me the time of day. My family and I thank you truly Anne now we can move on from this nightmare. So with all that being said I highly recommend Anne Kennedy.

Amazing.

Anne Kennedy could have easily charged us thousands to take our case. But she gave us great advice for free and even filed an e file response that costs her money, for free. She's amazing and helped us so much.
