Attorney that keeps in touch!
After seeking legal representation, we engaged Kennard's firm. Never expected to receive hands on service from Mr. Kennard - but we did. He was informative, provided detail we needed to resolve.

Thank you!
After reading reviews for Kennard Law P.C. and several other firms I decided to go with Kennard Law P.C. Mr. Kennard is board certified and that was an important part of my decision. From my initial meeting with Mr. Kennard up to settlement of my discrimination case against my ex- employer, Mr. Kennard and his team provided exceptional service and expertise that got my case settled in a short amount of time. I walked away with my dignity, compensation, and a reasonable settlement to allow me time to heal from the emotional grief and suffering as a result of my situation. Mr. Kennard and his team fought for my rights and got it done. Thank you to Mr. Kennard and the Kennard Law team!

5 stars for Kennard Law Firm
Alfonso Kennard, his associates, and the entire team were nothing less than exceptional. This law firm operates with integrity, professionalism, and really fight for you. They were very responsive from my initial inquiry to the very end. I can't thank them enough.

Great Exeperience
I retained Mr. Dupree for legal services. I found him to be knowledgeable and professional. He always presented the legal options and possible interpretations. I believe he always represented my best interest.

Terrible Experience. Would not recommend.
I hired Alfonso Kennard Jr. to represent me in an employment case. Kennard overpromises but under-performs and under delivers. My opinion, he was not concerned with learning about my case in order to be successful. Kennard was only interested in getting me to sign the agreement and pay his ridiculously high retainer. His fees are high but I was not paying for quality. I would not trust this attorney or hire this firm.

Run
paid Alfonso Kennard $6000.00 to handle my wrongful termination case, plus 40% of winnings. He and his associates, Lance, Daniel, and Matthew did a poor job in my opinion. I always had to call them. I had to remind them of deadlines. I would usually speak to the case manager/paralegal. I had four Attorney's at this firm handling my case. (I was told Lance is no longer with us, Matthew is no longer with us, having to repeat my case over and over to newcomers on the case. Very frustrating. When I would finally be allowed to speak to one of them they would offer apologies and tell me what I wanted to hear. Then it would be a long waiting game again. Followed by reminding them of deadlines. Save your money.

Response from Alfonso Kennard January 11, 2021
You were never a client. I suspect you are part of the Moore team. Don’t be anonymous. Call me if you have an issue and if you were an actual client. We are at the top of our field. The other 3999 folks we have helped don’t leave reviews. It’s okay. We aren’t here for glory. We are here to help. My mom was a cafetería worker. I went to Notre Dame and law school on full scholarships. I do this because it is in my blood. I’m sorry you feel the need to anonymously attack.

**Beware**
I paid Alfonso Kennard $15,000.00 to handle my wrongful termination case. He and his associate, Ronald Dupree, did a poor job in my opinion. I always had to call them. I had to remind them of deadlines. I would usually speak to the case manager/paralegal. When I would finally be allowed to speak to one of them they would offer apologies and tell me what I wanted to hear. Then it would be a long waiting game again.

Ms. Angela Moore, again, we did what we could for you. You lied to us. No attorney could do any more than we did. Word to the wise, do not hire a lawyer if you simply want them to perpetuate a fraud. We won’t do it. We are ethical.
