Renee Kennedy – An Excellent Attorney

Renee is a very knowledgeable and professional attorney who assisted me in my divorce. No matter how you look at a situation like the one had. Having a divorce is a very difficult and emotional time. Renee advised and assisted me in making the right decisions during tough times. So not only does sh...e have a great attitude, she got us settled out of court. Much Thanks Renee, Sincerely, J.S. Verchiens

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.

Best lawyer in town!!!

If you are looking for a fantastic attorney who will not quit and who will work tirelessly to get you that win, look no further!! Complete satisfaction with Renee Kennedy's legal services. When I met with Ms. Kennedy for consultation, I explained that I filed a child support action on myself with the... Attorney General’s office which complicated things. Not only did we have to contend with my ex and her attorney, but we had to deal with the AG office as well. I hired Ms. Kennedy without hesitation and am pleased to say I have not one regret in this decision. She explained any and everything to make absolutely sure I understood what was going on throughout the case. It put my mind at ease to know I had an attorney like her backing me during such a trying time. She looked out for not only my best interest, but also the interests of my children. Ms. Kennedy and her team worked diligently to ensure my divorce went as smoothly and cordially as possible given the circumstances. Renee was vigilant about staying on top of everyone. I was so sick of dealing with my ex I was ready to give up the farm, but Renee would not let me and she not only wiped away my back child support, but got me a huge credit on my future child support obligations too. She undoubtedly exceeded any and all of my expectations coming into this case.

Passionate

Mrs. Renee Kennedy is the attorney you want on your side if you want someone who is passionate about your case and winning it for you. The judge even described Mrs. Kennedy as being passionate about the case. She handled our case professionally and stayed in constant contact with us to ensur...e we knew what to expect every step of the way. I had hired two previous attorneys who were useless in my daughter’s custody case against my former son in-law. My granddaughter’s father made false allegations and coached my granddaughter on what to say to CPS. It was a nightmare to say the least. Because of Mrs. Kennedy, we won custody back of my granddaughter.
