Together we can find good solutions to difficult problems.

Assume dissolution is not a one size fits all so this recommendation is based on my circumstances. For my reasons, chose to dissolve an almost 3 decades of marriage, which I was the sole provider. My two priorities from a legal counsel: 1) harassment protection during the separation process and...

Very experienced, smart and personable
I guess it goes without saying that family law disputes are difficult. It is also true that there are a lot of attorneys practicing in this area, but not all are that good despite their ratings. Molly is that good. She knows the law and is very savvy. No one really "wins" when you have to settle ...

Amazing Advocate
Molly is great! She helped me get through a difficult divorce. Guided me with assurance and helped me see the "process" as just that, "a process". Her staff was always available and friendly. I never had to wait more than a few hours for a response, whether it was an e-mail or phone call. I alwa...

A decent but very expensive and very busy attorney
Ms. Kenny knows the system but I think she is primarily trying to make as much money as possible. My impression is that she focuses on the higher profile clients (deeper pockets) and moves the lower profile clients to others in her office. Meanwhile the $350 per hour meter keeps running. Divorce is a...
This comment raises a lot of issues. First – let me apologize that you felt neglected. That is never my intention and that is not our policy. We do our best and are cognizant of not running up the fees, but sometimes we may miss the mark. As for the issue of nothing changing from temporary orders through the final settlement – that can be the case sometimes if the temporary orders adequately addressed all the issues and there were no new issues. As for nothing being accomplished in that time period – that is never the case. Between temporary orders and the final settlement or trial, there is a lot happening in the background and a lot of the action is dictated by the court rules. And often times the opposing side does things that increase the fees but have no measurable impact on the case. We have no control over what the other side does. It seems we could have done a better job of explaining what was happening so you had a more complete understanding. And finally I can unequivocally say that my goal is to leave clients with as much of their money as possible. None of us ever make decisions in a case based upon how much in fees we can generate. Each case is unique - I welcome you to contact me directly so we can discuss your specific case and concerns further. Thank you.

The ultmate in support and experience
Molly and her staff supported me completely through a drawn out divorrce. My ex and his lawyer did everything they could to bleed me dry and drag the proceedings out. Of course, not everything went my way, and Molly told me in advance what the courts typically did in my situation. Every thing she ...
