Best Attorney EVER!!!!!!

I contacted Renee for a divorce consultation over the phone toward the end of July. Renee listened to me talk attentively and informed me based on what I had told her that I had a very good chance of winning the things that I wanted in my divorce. After listening to my situation she informed me what ...information she needed from me which was a very comprehensive list of information and her fee to get started. Right out of the gate Renee made me feel confident about my divorce and the prospects of gaining custody of my child, keeping my home and my retirement. She assured me that if I followed the instructions and guidance she laid out that my chances of prevailing were more than good. Renee told me that she is very aggressive when it comes to fighting for the rights of her clients and without a doubt Renee proved this during the mediation phase of my divorce, Renee didn’t back down to my formers spouses attorney or the mediator for that matter as she reiterated time and time again that the evidence demonstrated that I would and should prevail. Renee never backed down and rejected anything that she deemed unfavorable towards me. In the end not only did Renee help me gain full custody of my child but I got to keep my home and my retirement!! I want to add the most profound thing about my case is that me and Renee never met in person once due to the current pandemic but I was never once made to feel that I was going through this situation alone although we never met she made me feel that I was more than just a customer but a friend she was there every step of the process guiding me whether via phone, text or email she was available even in the early hours of the morning! I highly recommend anyone who is going through a life changing event such as a divorce to retain the services of Ms. Kennedy she is aggressive, knowledgeable and understanding of the intricate workings of family law. I will forever be grateful of the service that Ms. Kennedy gave to me.

Thankful for all her help.

I entered into a very complicated and stressful divorce involving custody of my child and division of property. After discovering my wife (at the time) was having an affair, she took my child and left, and stopped communication with me. At this point I made the decision to hire Renee Kennedy to help ...me move forward with the endeavor of divorce and making my case that I should have primary custody of my child. Renee handled every interaction professionally, confidently, and with great care for my situation. She was aggressive when the situation called for it and I always felt as though she supported me and had my back. Along every step of the way Renee helped me prepare for my time in court and the process of finalizing a complicated divorce. With Renee and all my documentation by my side, I was able to present a final case to the judge which ruled in my favor. I now have primary custody of my child and have continued to be grateful for Renee Kennedy’s help.

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.

A Grateful Client

If you’re in need of a great & honest divorce attorney, I highly recommend Renee. I don’t even know where to start because she was amazing throughout the entire process. It’s no wonder why she has a five star rating! As I searched for attorneys, I found most of them to be very intimidating, cold and ...often times, unavailable. However, once I met with Renee, I knew in my heart that I had found the right attorney. Going through a divorce is not easy, but I found such a piece with Renee that was just unexplainable. She was very open & honest, patient, caring and understanding throughout the entire process. She stayed connected the whole time and returned every call, text and email almost immediately as time permitted. She was very easy to work and will definitely advocate for you every step of the way. I’m so happy I found her. I don’t like divorces, but if you ever have to go through one, I highly recommend Renee as she won’t disappoint you. S.Tyler

My divorce was the hardest time in my life. I had no idea what I was doing or where even to start, but Renee was with me every step of the way. I don't think that I could have made it without her constant guidance and support. My ex-husband and I were not right for each other and now have now are eac...h living the lives that we were meant to. None of this could have been possible without Renee's help. Before we even began, Renee asked me what I wanted. I had expected to encounter someone agressive, nonchalant, or who just saw the scariest time of my life as a payday. Renee, however, listened fully and with compassion - it was nothing like what I had expected from a lawyer. She did not judge, and always, always, always, ALWAYS answered the phone. I cannot stress how important this was to me. It seems like such a simple thing, but anytime that I had a question or concern she was right there on the other side of the phone to help. I have had a few friends tell me that they are looking for a lawyer and I always tell them THAT first. It made a world of difference to me. I really felt like I was going through this emotional time with a partner. I don't want to go into detail, but when I was at my lowest I knew she was there. I have had friends go through divorce and their lawyers abandon them halfway through, leaving them to find new help. It was a fear of mine, but Renee perservered. My divorce felt like it went on forever...honestly, it still feels like a fight some of the time - but Renee is always there. I don't think that I could have found anybody better to represent me. She stayed true to what I wanted. I don't know what else I can say except - if you need a lawyer, hire Renee. You won't regret it.
