Child Support Inquiry

I was referred to Renee and within the first 5 minutes of the call she was very rude. She explained she does not handle sole Child Support Inquiries . Sounded as if she was in her car or traveling because there was lots of background noise. When asked about a referral to another law group that Handl...es ONLY back child support she did not have one. Again she seemed to want to rush me off the call and had no further comments. I would suggest if you are ONLY handling child support inquiries do not contact her.

She's the best

Renee Kennedy has been an absolute life saver for me. I called for an initial consultation back in June of 2022 and didn’t hire her right off the bat, but she was there to listen and help me know my options. About a month later, things were turning south between my Ex and me and I needed to hire a di...vorce lawyer to file fast! I called back Renee out of the blue and she and her team immediately went into action and filed for divorce that night! Renee has all the qualities you want in a lawyer. She is smart, personable, caring, responsible, efficient, and communicates! I doubt I will ever find a lawyer half as efficient as she and her team. It truly has been such a delightful experience working with Renee. Renee cares about her clients and will do absolutely everything in her power to get what you need and deserve. I was in an extreme emergency situation when she dropped everything, drove out of her way to the courthouse, filed a restraining order and got it served to my Ex that night. She has proven her worth time and time again. She has been better prepared than the opposing counsel each time we’ve gone to court. She has won on my behalf time and time again. After the temporary orders hearing, I got primary custody of my children, I am in the martial residence, my Ex must pay me child support and more. I have gotten more than I could have even dreamed when I filed for divorce. Trust me, you want to hire Renee to represent you. You will not be disappointed.

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.

Attorney Kennedy for the win!

My child support case couldn't have had better representation. I am truly grateful to have found attorney Kennedy as she put the entire weight of her legal experience behind my cause. I would confidently stand in any court room, and against any attorney if I knew i had attorney Kennedy in my corner. ...What is considered to be "above and beyond" anywhere else, is standard procedure in attorney Kennedy's office. She truly made 2020 a good year for me.

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.
