Highly Recommended!

When I knew it was time to seek legal counsel for my divorce, I didn’t even know where to start. I found Renee through a referral, age age immediately put my mind at ease. She was incredibly flexible and transparent throughout the process, and she did a good job of always answering my questions and c...oncerns promptly. Divorce is never easy, and rarely does either party really “win”, but Renee was able to fight for me and I truly feel I got a favorable and successful outcome. Renee made herself available at all times and treated me like her only client (although I knew she had many other engagements and clients during the process). Her communication was strong and effective, and also convenient (text/email/call). At the end of the day, I felt respected and cared about as her client, and I could tell her number one concern was making sure I was satisfied. If you are looking for an attorney for any sort of family legal issues, Renee is definitely a great choice!!

Strong, smart, strategic, and effective

Renee helped me achieve exactly the outcome I was aiming for in my divorce and custody case. She was confident that she could win me primary parental rights for my daughter and child support, despite it generally being more difficult for fathers in Texas. I told her I wanted everything equal - comple...tely 50/50, where neither parent was primary, nor paid child support to the other parent. Renee kept my wishes as her top priority and made it happen. When you are going to bat at a baseball game, you bring any lawyer. When you are going into a battle, you bring a fighter like Renee. She is extremely thorough and detail oriented, and she is aggressive and full of energy. She will tell you exactly what she is thinking, and sometimes it might be hard for you to hear, but she will be straightforward and straight to the point and provide the best advice. Her communications are often very short. You might feel they are even curt. But remember that her time is your money, and I realized early on that she was always doing her best to minimize the cost to me by keeping her words brief and efficient. In the end, I spent much less overall than my ex, even though I had worked with Renee for a longer period of time. Renee is strong, smart, strategic, and effective. I highly recommend Renee for any divorce or custody matter.

Outstanding

Being an Out-of-State client, I wasn't sure how to pursue my custody case. Before contacting Renee, I was unsuccessful in even getting a callback or response from a few other offices. Renee answered my call right away and went to work immediately. From day 1, Renee and her Team maintained excellent ...communication with me via phone calls, texts, and emails. I was always in the loop with all matters related to my case. Renee was able to secure what I was looking for in regards to custody and then some. Before my case was even complete, I was able to spend time with my child due to Renee's relentless approach. Renee kept me in check in times when I would get frustrated with the opposing counsel, and I appreciated that. Considering the time spent on my case, excellent communication, outcome, and how I always knew where we stood or what we were waiting on to move forward, I would definitely say it was well worth hiring Renee. Overall, my expectations were exceeded. I know get to see my child more frequently and for longer periods of time, my case only took about 2 and a half months from start to finish, and the amount of funds spent was definitely worth with. I highly recommend Renee and her Team and I would 100% reach out again if ever needed.

She is the best around

If you want the best, then Renee is your lawyer. I wish I had her in my corner from the beginning of my divorce. My first lawyer took a larger retainer from me and after that hardly ever returned my call or provided much legal guidance. I hear that happens to a lot of people, so when some additional ...post-divorce legal issues surfaced. I knew I needed the best representation this time around. I found Renee's good reviews on google and took a chance. All I have to say is wow, she smart, dedicated, truthful and was relentless on winning the best outcome for my case. She always stayed in contact with me day or night with case updates and provided the best strategies for ending the legal battle with the best outcome and lowest cost. Renee goes above and beyond for her clients. Don’t look any further if you need a family lawyer, she is the best around.

Dedication with a personal touch

Renee Kennedy: Ms Renee Kennedy is an outstanding lawyer who excels in personal service and getting results. I had a very unique case with a long history and a lot of complexity. Renee took the time to understand the case and help me get the results I wanted. She worked relentlessly and was always... available when I had a question, even at night or on weekends. She is literally available to her clients 24/7. When doing trial prep, and my availability during the week was limited, she made time on the weekend to get it done. Early during my case, before I understood her level of dedication to customer service, I would send an email on the weekend, expecting to hear a response when she got back to work on Monday. Instead, I was typically answered within minutes, and she was always available to get on the phone and discuss the topic until I was satisfied. Furthermore, when she felt additional help would help get the job done, she didn’t hesitate to search out experts and colleagues for aid. In my particular case, she felt there were elements of parental alienation at play, so she searched around and found a local expert on the topic to join our team. As it turned out, his testimony was a huge part of getting the win. She was always responsible with the money I had to spend. Anytime I would bring up an option that would potentially cost a lot of money to pursue, she would give me an idea of the cost associated with those actions so I knew where my money was going. She understood that I didn’t have unlimited funds, and respected my budget. She always offered her legal opinions with justification for her thinking, but ultimately listened to me as the client and let me make the final decision. She helped me understand the complicated legal system so that it all seemed less intimidating, and by the end of the case, I felt like I had acquired a friend who was AT my side instead of just a lawyer that was ON my side. After I had my first visitation with my daughter, she even reached out to me to see how things went. She gets truly invested in getting the outcome that her client wants.
