horrible experience
1.0 starPosted by Elisabeth
Morei typically don't ever do bad reviews but i wouldn't ever want anyone to go through the experience i went through with Mrs. Kennedy. She was an absolute nightmare to work with, i could never get in touch with her on updates on my case. I would call her office only to get a rude response from her staff or told Mrs. Kennedy would call me back when she got in the office and to never hear back. When it would come to her actually appearing to represent me she would always have a higher priory case to handle. She would be out of the state days before my hearing and when she wanted to talk about my case i had to constantly repeat my self about my case when she already had all the information or she would take different calls or start talking to someone else while i was talking to her. When i finally decided to terminated her as my lawyer i was fed up..... since the day before my mediation she called me at 2pm to tell me she wouldn't be able to attend and she would be sending either someone else or have to reschedule, this truly was an ongoing issue the communication and the no shows. i would be much more understanding if i was told this information maybe 2 days before mediation not less than 24 hours.Its very disappointing since i choose Anne due to all her great reviews unfortunately she was not what i expected at all. please look around before you come to her law firm.
Anne Elise Kennedy’s response: “It is unfortunate to read a review like this. I have been practicing law for more than 10 years, and I have had extraordinarily good client satisfaction. I value the attorney-client privilege- even in cases where, as here, it is arguably waived. Nevertheless: Expectations must be realistic in an attorney-client relationship. I have a strong personality. I fight for my clients. I do not tolerate nonsense. I am known for "telling it like it is." My clients appreciate this. There are times that a case may be reset. With 4 million people in Harris County, Court dockets are crowded. A case involving allegations of child abuse, for example, may be given a higher priority on the Court's docket than other cases, forcing a reset of others. This is the reality of the courthouse. There are also times that I am not immediately available. This can be very upsetting, especially for those who do not handle stress well. The easiest way to deal with this, however, is to convey, politely, to my office staff, what the concern is. An email or text is also great. Family cases are stressful. It can be a long and difficult process. I really do understand that. But if my office staff is abused, cursed at, hung up on, or subjected to a tirade, it will NOT be tolerated by me. I will speak with a client about such behavior, and that may result in a client's decision to "terminate" me and decide that I am a "nightmare" to work with.”This review is from a person who hired this attorney.Hired attorneyCaution!

MoreKeep looking, I hired Anne in a custody case and she took my money and sided with opposing counsel- talk about a nightmare!!!
My child was crying out to everyone about being abused. The case was hard and I feel that Anne just didn't want to work. Easy money and move on. Well I'm hoping that she's learned a HUGE lesson in law. ETHICS & INTEGRITY above all else. I'm in the process of filing a grievance against her, my child's life has been ruined. And to know that she put my child in danger by playing a game with opposing counsel and the amicus is serious business.
I have forgiven and moved on. I just don't want anyone else's child to ever have to go through what she's put my child through all because of a game! This is real life and real people! SERIOUS BUSINESS.This review is from a person who hired this attorney.Hired attorney
