Reckless. Zero ethics.insane.helps abusers.

My experience with Kathleen is anything but normal. Kathleen is the definition of dirty law attorneys. Thank you Kathleen for giving my family the platform to help women and children. I wouldn't have changed careers and saved my kids life, if you didn't give us the firm evidence to succeed in court a...nd prove domestic violence inside the court room. Using courts to abuse women and children is never ok or legal. Your antics, dramatics and Narcissistic manic behavior is pathetic. I pray for you everyday. Im sorry your mental health issues gives you the narrative you like to spin on women. Pathetic. My kids trauma is fully your accountability and fault. Today we are safe and truth is firmly in the court system. 500k later, 3 private investigators and law enforcement has given us enough to last a lifetime.

Best Attorney in Riverside County if you’re looking for Honesty

I hired Ms. Hennessy to represent myself in a Family Law case regarding my Spousal Support. Ms. Hennessy did her due diligence, very organized, honest, straight forward with her fees, no hidden agendas, but most of all she had ethics and she got the job done. My spousal Support stayed the same as a...warded, my attorney fees were paid and back support paid. I’d recommend Ms. Hennessy as an Attorney because she’s has integrity, ethics and cares about her clients.

Amazing Attorney Fights for the Rights

Kathleen had her hands full when she took me on as a client. I had a long term domestic partnership with my ex. My case included my ex partner (police officer), domestic violence and three young kids. Kathleen was my back bone in such a stressful situation. She fought for the best situation for me an...d my kids. Kathleen took on what seemed like the world for the safety and life of my kids and I. She treated me the same as if I were in a heterosexual relationship, however, I was in a same sex relationship for over 20 years. I had a previous attorney and was sub par to Kathleen. My Ex's attorney was decent, however after a day in court with Kathleen the other attorney dropped my ex as a client. If you want a strong attorney who knows her stuff, Kathleen Hennessy is the Attorney for you!

If you want the best, you want Kathleen Hennessy

Kathleen Hennessy was the best decision I ever made in hiring an attorney. I initially went with a different attorney because they claimed to have low retainer fees. They almost ruined my case by filing unnecessary stipulations and advising me to sign agreements that I never should have. When I hire...d Kathleen Hennessy, she turned everything around. My ex-husband tried filing dozens of ridiculous request for orders and domestic violence restraining orders multiple times. Kathleen not only got his order denied, I ended up getting the stay -away order against my ex-husband. I owe the peace and tranquility of my life after divorce court to Kathleen. Thank you Kathleen, you are the toughest, most honest, and hardworking attorney I have ever met and you have been a blessing to both me and my kids lives. Thank you for everything!!

Great attorney, helped all the way!

We found Kathleen Hennessy through Google and looked at her Avvo rating and found it satisfactory. Kathleen is very assertive, which is an asset in the courtroom or negotiations. She will talk your ear off, but that was because I had a lot of questions, as this was my first Custody hearing. Kathleen ...was very helpful all the way through the proceedings, and we came to a satisfactory arrangement with the other party. The result of the hearing/negotiations doesn't necessarily mean the attorney did something wrong or right, but in my case, it is. It is because of Kathleen Hennessy that we came to a reasonable agreement, and helped us understand how things were going to work. If I ever have to go to a hearing again, she's going to be my first choice.
