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.

Definitely hire Ms. Kennedy!

Definitely hire Ms. Kennedy! The Judge said in front of the entire courtroom that she had never seen anyone else get such a good plea deal from the State for the type of charge against me—that was a first. The Judge said in front of everyone that Ms. Kennedy did a GREAT job for me and, needless to sa...y, I’m overjoyed with the result that Ms. Kennedy was able to achieve through her hard work, knowledge of the law, and commitment to my case. She was extremely aggressive with getting the Asst. Dist. Attorney to reduce the charges, and would not take “No” for an answer. The Judge was literally shocked how good a deal I got and said so during the hearing. Although Ms. Kennedy did an outstanding job, I have crossed criminal charges off of my bucket list and don’t plan on ever getting in trouble with the law again. I hear she does family law and personal injury so maybe I will need her again for that instead. lol

Outstanding Defense - Got our case dismissed!!

Renee was outstanding. She was flexible with her appointment times, and stayed in constant communication with us. She was able to get our case dismissed. Her approach and knowledge of the law were supurb. I would definately recommend her for a criminal defense case.
