Makes things worse

Stefan interferes with his clients working things out, presumably in the interest of dragging the case on and making more money off them. He made wild unfounded accusations without investigation and uses lawyer tactics to delay progress. His clients might think they're winning a little more, but ever...yone but his firm is losing.

Unsupportive and unreliable

Mr. Kennedy was very disappointing. Many thinks he said he would do and could do he failed. In addition, when he was confronted with this, he did not complete the MSA and did not replay for months. I had to replace him.

Dragged on and on Divorce Case

I had a terrible experience with Mr. Kennedy. It took a couple years to finish the case due to his intentions of dragging on and on the case because he charged me by time. For example, we finished all the documents and he asked me if we could start all over again. Of course, I disagreed with that a...nd he looked very disappointed. We were in the middle of the case which was put on hold because he took several very long vacations. It would have taken much longer to complete the case if my spouse's lawyer and I had not constantly requested him to do his job and not just leave the paperwork on the desk.

Highly skilled, highly professional, highly respected, and highly appreciated

Stefan Kennedy is an attorney with integrity, true experience, deep knowledge of the law, and an extraordinary presence in the court room. He was extremely passionate about our case and fought to the bitter end for us and the best interests of our child. He was deeply involved in our child custody ...matter, analyzed the details from all angles, spent numerous weekend and evening hours with us to fully and completely understand the issues, and argued our case in ways that we, and others, could never have articulated. We engaged other attorneys prior to Stefan and he clearly stands above the rest - large firms to small practices. He is highly respected among his peers, and is a familiar and well-known face in the Santa Clara County legal community. My wife and I still think back to the nights and weekends he spent reviewing our case, the tireless dedication, the late night/early morning emails, the charged and passionate phone calls and conversations, and the absolute love he clearly has for his work. He set a new standard for us, and set a very high bar for other attorneys who, unfortunately fall far short of this standard. I won't get into details, but he showed us incredible and unexpected generosity, and we'll never forget that. I can't speak enough to his quality as a person, and as a professional. He is and will always be first on our list for any poor soul looking for an attorney in a child custody matter, and one who truly cares.
