As the father of three (3) intelligent and precocious children, I know how important it is to protect and guide them into an unknown, uncertain and unknowing future. They deserve all of the assets and assistance they can get to succeed in a future that you, as their parent or guardian, may not see. Never trust your life or your children's lives with an inexperienced or untested attorney. Never! I have over thirty (30) years experience as the lead trial lawyer -- including death penalty and representing major Fortune 100 companies -- but found the criminal and civil aspects of the practice of law unfulfilling. A good lawyer can effect the lives of those living today while a great lawyer can effect the lives of those who are living and coming of age today, tomorrow and well into the future. I look forward to being of service to you and your children now, tomorrow and far into that unknown and unknowing future.

Hello Stephanie -- Goodness gracious, I have not visited this website in a long, long time! My apologies to you. Thank you for your exceptionally kind words. I recall your case very, very well and agree that without my Legal Assistant's help, we would never have gotten the result we obtained for you. Denise is truly my "left and right arms" in every sense of the word. I sincerely hope you and your awesome kiddos and your family are all doing exceptionally well. Stephanie, you faced a very difficult situation and rose above it with courage, skill and grace and for that you have the admiration of both Denise and me and Her Honor, of that I assure you. Furthermore, I am confident there is a warm place in the underworld for your ex, whom I understand will NEVER be able to accomplish his hopes and dreams without your support and encouragement. Thank you again for your exceptionally kind words, Stephanie. Please stay in touch with Denise and I. We have always had your best interests and the best interests of your children in our minds and in our hearts and we always will. Respectfully, Shaun P. Kenney

Thorough and Knowledgeable
We used him for a divorce/custody case after our original lawyer lost her steam during the pretrial. His fees are up there but, well worth it and he worked with us to help us out financially in any and every way that he could. Additionally, he had extensive knowledge on family law and gained my confi...
Thank you Jamie. I remember your case very well. We had a good outcome in that matter in light of the facts due to a fair, just, knowledgeable, intelligent, but tough Judge. Thank you again for your kind words and I sincerely hope you and your children are continuing to do well and thriving by living with you and your wife and family.
