I started my divorce case with another attorney -- had a CPO against me and was paying $1,000 in child support and $1,000 in alimony. Needless to say I was not happy. I immediately went to Shelly and she got the ball rolling -- took my CPO to trial and got that dismissed and then got my support payments lowered. I wish I would have started with her. Now we are fighting for joint custody. She has always answered my questions and has returned my calls within a day or so. She definitely knows what she is doing and is not afraid of anyone. I would recommend her.

Shelly recently concluded an old outstanding case for my girlfriend. We both think very highly of her as a lawyer. We now think of her as a friend as well. Thank you very much Shelly!

Shelly was excellent,I need advice and she helped me figure out what to do with very fast response and replies. Thank you Shelly for all your help.

Attorney Shelly stood by me for a long, hard 18 months. She always gave me good advice and didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. She's a straight-shooter and doesn't make wild promises. You can trust her and what she is saying. She told me that the goal in a divorce case is not to be happy at the end, but to be equally unhappy. I thought that was weird at first, but as time went on I knew what she was saying. No one wins in a divorce and custody case. We all lose. I'm just glad Attorney Shelly was with me and she did a good job for me. She returned my telephone calls and sent me copies of all the paperwork. She was well prepared for our court appearances and spoke well in court. I knew she had my back and the result was good. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a fighter.

This lady seemed to care at the beginning of my custody case, saying all the right stuff. As time went by getting her on phone to discuss issues or gerting paperwork (I did all leg work getting papers) and she still came to court unprepared and seemed to be more interested in the ground than cross examing my ex. She even let the other lawyer badger me with out one objection. The only time she would return calls is if I threatened legal recourse against her. She seems to only care about being paid and then could care less about the outcome. She should be reviewed by the bar association and I am still debating filing a grievance against her law firm. SHE DOESNT SEEM TO CARE ONE BIT SAVE YOUR CASH AND HIRE SOMEONE WHO WILL SHOW THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL A CASE DESERVES

I hired her for grandparent's rights. She filed my paperwork fast and got me a court hearing a right away. I'll be eternally grateful because I got temporary custody of my grandchild. I was so happy because I thought I wasn't going to see that baby again. The attorney was good in the courtroom and asked all the right questions.

My wife used Shelly for a child custody case and Shelly was excellent. Words cannot describe the easein which she worked with us. Shelly kept us updated on every aspect of the proceedings. Shelly was readily available for us with no communication issues. In the courtroom, Shelly excelled and got my wife the result that she promised us. I would not hesitate to recommend Shelly Kennedy.

I would not recommend this attorney for nothing. I have a ongoing case as we speak and so far this attorney is making me feel like she is working with the person that I am going to court against. I have paid this attorney up front and now she doesn't even speak to me until the hearing. I can't even get ahold of her to discuss issues. And everytime I do get ahold of someone its her secretary. The secretary always tells me ( your attorney is on vacation and can't speak to you). This happened twice in a 2 month period. Her vacations lasted at least 2 week each time I have tryed to speak to her. But when I do get ahold of her, she acts like these issues doesn't even matter and wouldn't even come up in court. Sad part about that is those issues comes up in the court hearing and she is then puzzeled. Another issue that is making me despise this attorney is that the other party doesn't even have an attorney to represent him and everything that he has asked in court is so far being granted. I highly don't recommend this attorney to no one. Look for someone else. Save your money for a better attorney that knows how to defend you in court. Because this one is worthly

I was a little leery at first, because Shelly is pretty laid back and nothing seems to phase her. I suppose it's because she has seen and heard it all. But once she was in deposition, she obliterated my wife -- caught her in so many lies, and exposed her for the truth. Then we were in the court and Shelly did a great job. She was so prepared and knew the right questions to ask my wife. My spousal support went from $1,000.00 per month to $350.00 a month -- I could live with that. I really would recommend Attorney Kennedy. I read the other reviews here, and some of the not so positive ones seem to be written by clients not paying their bill -- at least that one review you can figure that out just by what was said. My divorce wasn't cheap, but that is not what I was after. I wanted someone to be very aggressive and very prepared. Shelly was both.

Shelly really helped me through a tough time. I ended up with my kids and my 401(K) intact. For that I am grateful. She kept in regular contact me and I appreciate the ability to talk to her on the weekends. She returned my telephone calls and saw me before Court. The process was longer than I would have liked, but I guess that is the court system for you. There wasn't a whole lot of arguing back an forth -- some for awhile, but it still took us about a year to get divorced. I thought my attorney knew her stuff and gave me the advice that I needed to hear. She didn't blow smoke and just tell me what I wanted to hear. My attorney fees seemed reasonable and I'm glad to be done with the process. I would highly recommend Shelly if you are going through a divorce or custody case. She will take care of matters and get your case done as fast as possible.

Communication was nearly non-existent which made it difficult to understand how the divorce was moving forward. Divorce is difficult enough to not need any added stress to the process. Retain someone who is concerned about you, not just the paycheck you bring to the table.

After terminating previous council , i hired Shelly Kennedy . This was a very good move because Shelly finalized my divorce in less than one year . everything went in my favor . I was very fortunate to take over custody of my three children, which I do not feel my previous counsel would have even tried for. As well as full rights to my home . They are very quick on responses and even call back on the weekends. I would highly recommend Shelly and her staff. Shelly is fighter and will do her best to get you want you are entitled to.
