Unethical behavior

Hired for a custody case. He requested a retainer which is standard practice and I paid. However from that point on he never moved forward on my case. He failed to file an appearance or any motions for my case. I requested a refund for his failure to represent he refused to return my money. Unethica...l behavior to say the least. I do not recommend this unethical attorney.

Very good attorney and have used several times

Craig Kennedy is an amazing attorney he's not only caring but he listens to you and he will help you all the way through whatever you're going through this is the third time that we've used him and each time that we have used him we've won all of our cases I think he's very knowledgeable very educate...d and is good at what he does. He's very upfront he's not going to try to take your money if there's really not a good case. He's very honest and he is amazing at what he does so if you're looking for a good attorney this is the guy for you. Not everybody has a winning case throughout the United States and not every attorney can win every case but so far we have not been disappointed with Craig Kennedy and will continue to use him

Lifesaver

Mr Kennedy, I believe was my life saver in court. He helped me through my modification of my parenting plan and helped me get a dead beat father outta my daughter and I life. He's an amazing listener and knows just how to handle any situation, he kept me well informed. He takes the time to make sure ...everything is done correctly and on time. I would recommend him for any custody battle.

True Professional

I was fortunate to find Craig with my very sticky child care case. His prompt and professional response to my issues, as well as his depth of knowledge in this area were a godsend. In addition to the rating areas, I give him high marks on addressing core issues to ensure the problems will not retur...n.
