Nathan Lee Kennedy's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Nathan
Mary Escamilla headshot
Mary Escamilla

Family lawyer | Feb 15

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Nathan and I have had several contested cases against each other and he is consistently reasonable with cases that have difficult matters to resolve. The quickest way to waste a client's time and money is to stir up issues unnecessarily. He does not do that, while still maintaining his client's position and advocating for his client. He is an experienced and reasonable family law attorney, which is rare."

Family lawyer | Jan 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I hold Nathan Kennedy in very high regard. I have had cases in which he was on the opposing side and although he zealously advocates for his clients, he does not take unreasonable positions and, in my opinion, makes solid recommendations to his clients. I have also had Nathan as a mediator on a contested family law matter and he was able to get it settled, despite some very difficult circumstances. Nathan is very professional, I endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've worked with Nathan on several cases and consult with him regularly on my cases. Nathan is a very capable and highly intelligent lawyer. He has a way of looking at cases from a different perspective, and this separates him from your average lawyer."

Family lawyer | Jan 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Nate is a very talented attorney. He always tries to resolve cases through a handshake first rather than a pummel. That said, he is a tough advocate who is willing to go to bat for his clients."

Family lawyer | Jan 17

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. He is very kind and approachable, yet possesses a shrewd legal mind and is prepared to go above and beyond to zealously represent his clients. I have worked with him on cases and also observed his skills as a mediator, where he was able to skillfully diffuse an especially acrimonious situation and help both sides reach an satisfying conclusion. He is a great family law attorney who is able to think outside the box and solve problems."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
