Simply the best!

I live in Nevada and needed an attorney in Oregon. I went online and found Lisa Kenn. I emailed her and heard back from her that same day. We set up a consultation very quickly after which I retained her. She always called when she said she would. She explained everything that she would do comp...letely. She kept me apprised of the timeline every step of the way. Her billing method was explained in detail. My emailed questions were answered the same day. I could not have had a better experience with a stressful situation. I highly recommend Lisa Kenn! She is easy to talk to and made the entire process easily understandable.

BEST Divorce attorney

Lisa Kenn exceeded all our expectations. As parents, we both have legal experience and did some research to help our daughter find the best divorce lawyer in a very difficult, messy divorce. From the very beginning our daughter always felt like Lisa Kenn was on her “team,” and that enabled her to ope...rate under extreme anxiety because she knew Lisa Kenn always had her back. This allowed my husband and I to function as supportive parents (which our daughter needed) because we trusted Lisa Kenn would handle the legal end. What a gift she has been in our lives during this really difficult time. Her personal attention, communication, and knowledge of the family law specialty was excellent. I highly recommend Lisa Kenn.

What a great experience!!

I am so very fortunate to have found Lisa. She is just the real deal!! Knowledgeable, competent, funny and direct, she guided me through the most difficult situation I have ever experienced. Simply put Lisa is the best. I am eternally grateful to her and would contact her in a heartbeat if I ever fin...d myself needing family law again, I have already given her name to a co-worker.

Call Lisa, she's Amazing!

Nobody wants or plans to have to deal with the courts, but sometimes things happen in life and it becomes necessary to take legal action. I personally had a hard trying to represent myself in court and froze completely - I wish I would have had hired Lisa from the very start. Lisa is a genuine perso...n, an amazing attorney and is truly the most honest attorney I have encountered. If you are looking for an attorney to actually HELP you and not just take your money, someone who will provide you with the support you need and be honest with you no matter what the circumstances may be (realistically), then Lisa is the one.

Posted by Miguel | April 20, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Realistic Expectations.

Breakups are complicated especially if there are children and property involved. You really don’t understand the emotional turmoil you will experience when you are threatened to have your children ripped from your life regardless of how good of a father you are to your children or a good partner to t...heir mother. Lisa handled the custody negotiation for my son and the appeal to the eviction of my former partner. When I decided to hire Lisa I was in a serious legal disadvantage. Lisa always gave me a realistic view on how to approach my case. She was able to negotiate the removal of my former partner from my house and establish parenting schedule with my son. Lisa is able to see through the B.S. and focus on what was most important. Lisa saved my son’s home. I am very happy with her advice and her results in my case because she took into consideration what was in the best interest for my son, my long term goals for my financial wellbeing and my son’s sense of security. I should have hired Lisa before attempting representing myself in court. Call Lisa if you want an attorney to “give it to you straight”. Family court is complex and emotionally draining. Let Lisa handle it for you.
