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

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.

I felt like I met a friend

Went through two other Divorce lawyers and didn’t make any progress. While my wife and her lawyers made progress. A friend of mine recommended I try Renee, she was great, and I started to make progress. Renee really wants her clients to be prepared she expects all T’s and I’s to be crossed and dotted.... In the end I was very satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend her to someone else as long as you’re willing to do your part.

divorce

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.

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
