Dissapointed

Seemed very knowledgeable — talked a great game, but no responsiveness. I went 60 days, attempted to contact him 4 times prior to court date and he never responded. Then seemed as if everything was ok but everything he said did not happen at all. Waste of money — public defender could have done th...e service for me. VERY disappointed.

Client Review

He handled my legal matter with expertise. I felt that he was really working hard for me and kept me informed. I hope I never have to go through this again, but I would certainly hire Mr. Kennedy if I did.
