Posted by Cathy | August 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Intelligent, caring lawyer!

Lisa was so kind and caring to what my kids and I were going through with my divorce. She was always professional, realistic and wanting only justice for me as her client. Even years after the divorce was final, she continued to help and advise me with non-compliance issues with my ex. I couldn't ...have asked for a better person to have represented me, who was truly concerned about the well-being of my family, especially for what was right and just for my children.

Great Professional Experiance

I truly enjoyed working with Lisa. I was referred by a friend of mine, and he had nothing but good things to say about her. When I first started my divorce, finances were tight, so I had Lisa do a lot of the documents for the court, because I couldn't afford a full time Lawyer. I found everything t...hat she done for me, was very professional, and her charges were less than most lawyers, that I had previous consulted with. Since my divorce, I have run into some other issues with my previous x-wife, since I did, have long term marriage. I have contacted Lisa by phone or e-mail for her advice, and always she has been available to help, and never has she mentioned anything about fee's she needed to charge me for advice. As a real estate broker, I have given Lisa name to clients and my co-workers, which I will continue to do. I hope not to have a need for a divorce Lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely call Lisa Kenny

Unethical & Poor Service Lawyer

It is very rude lady who wants your money but provided very poor services. She does not care about your divorce. I was there twice, she set up me by taking me in her office about 3' earlier than my appointment was scheduled for coffee without telling me she would start her clock. At the end, she simp...ly told me that the conference with her was started 8' earlier and her rate goes by increment. Her hour is 250.00 per hour, and she charged $80.00 for that actual 3' to make coffee for me. She had the MSA done for me with several important mistakes. She emailed the soft copy to me, After getting back my office, I found 3 big errors, I replied her email to ask her to correct. She said I should correct it by myself. I asked her a hard copy, she told me that she never said she would have to print out for me. What happened if I did not know how to use computer, or had access to a computer? Even there is no lawyer in the world, this is not the one you would want to waste your money to file for your divorce.

Replied last March 30, 2018

It is upsetting to see such a negative review. I was never retained by this individual and never represented her in any capacity. Rather, I was paid for a limited scope of work at my normal hourly rate. I performed the work requested and was paid in full for the time I spent. When further work was requested, I explained that additional time would be billed at the same hourly rate. This was apparently not acceptable; I then received and responded to 14 angry emails and several phone calls from this individual who called me names, demanded a refund, threatened to reverse the credit card charge, and insisted I provide further work and time without compensation. In 21 years of practice, this is my first negative review. I care about the people that come to my office, they are often meeting with me on their darkest days. I try to provide excellent work product and keep fees to a minimum. It upsets me that I was unable to meet the expectations of this individual. This incident was a first for me; I will do my best to avoid any repeat of this situation in the future.
