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.

One pf the best!!

I am a single mother with very limited income and called Ms. Kennedy because I needed advice on how to handle a case my children's father just blindsided me with. Ms. Kennedy went above and beyond to not only advise me about my next steps but also drafted some of the necessary documents at no charge ...to me just to help me out because of the extreme emergency and time sensitivity. She did it for free! Heart of pure gold! I know Ms. Kennedy cannot do this for everyone, but I am so very grateful she helped me out. I was only expecting a consult and got so much more!! Anyone who retains Ms. Kennedy should feel blessed and confident that their case is in the best of hands.

Excellent attorney and staff.

I had the great pleasure of having Ms. Kennedy represent me in my divorce. A friend recommended her. I had been married for 45 years and my wife was disabled, the marriage ended due to my ex-wife's infidelity. I have various 401k savings from different employers, annuities, bank accounts and military... retirement. All said and done, Ms. Kennedy negotiated the deal of a lifetime for me. I did NOT have to pay any alimony and I only had to give up twenty five percent of my military retirement and nothing else. I kept 100 percent of everything else. The process of going through a divorce is something that I would not wish on anyone. But things happen and if you find yourself going through a divorce, I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Kennedy and her whole staff. Every email, phone call, or message was usually answered within thirty minutes. There is not another attorney that I would want to represent me if I had to go through another divorce.

Result orientated and effective

Renee Kennedy and her team were outstanding in getting our grandson placed in our home! We needed a Family Law attorney who could get my wife and I entered as intervenors during extremely contested child placement proceedings and hearings for our grandson. Renee immediately took our case and got rig...ht into conducting interviews of our witnesses, family members and compiling the testimonies, evidence and preparing us for court in less than 72-hours. Renee and her team defended our rights to care for our grandson so he wouldn’t end up remaining in foster care. The expertise, details and preparation provided by Renee and her team made our case a success. She got our grandson back into our loving home where he belonged despite great opposition by not only the child’s mother, but the amicus. I truly believe without Renee and her team’s dedication and efforts, we may not have been successful! If you are looking for an attorney who works hard to get the results you want, I highly recommend the law offices of Renee Kennedy.

Straightforward and passionate

HIGHLY recommended. Renee and her team were in the trenches with me for two years. I'm so grateful for the constant communication, support, and guidance I received. Renee genuinely cared and took the time to explain strategy and all things legal that I didn't understand. Renee will fight for you and ...isn't afraid to stand up to anyone. She and her team are extremely reliable, responsive, and supportive. They were the silver lining of a very terrible experience, and I recommend Renee to anyone who is ready to stand their ground and fight. I got primary custody, and also got to keep my 401k and house. So thankful for Renee.
