Anya is an exceptional individual. She is an outstanding professional, a clear, direct and honest communicator; a pleasure to work with. She has always given me very useful and reliable professional advice. I would highly recommend Anya as your legal representative!!!!
I was in need of a last minute creation of a Will due to some changes in my personal situation. I needed this to be fully drafted and signed off on within a week prior to a trip I was taking. Anya spend time with me to help me understand the difference between a Trust and a regular Will, answered important questions that would allow me to make the necessary decisions and accommodated meeting times that fit my busy schedule. Long term I truly want a trust established so doing something quickly that would fit my current needs while also enabling me to begin the Trust to be completed at a later date was very helpful and informative. I had a Will created before and it definitely did not go into as much detail as this one does nor did that lawyer put the level of attention and professionalism into its creation as Anya did. And keep in mind I was rushing her on top of that! She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable with the decisions and satisfied with the results. She is also a very pleasant person to work with !! Great personality which honestly helps when your dealing with anything legal!
Anya L. Kennedy, Esc. Listens carefully and has been genuinely sensitive to my concerns regarding my case. She is open and forthright about how the Court operates and communicates clearly about what is admissible. She possesses a keen understanding of Family Law and consults with me on all actions – including me as a strategic partner at every step of the process. Anya provides me with advance notice on information I am required to produce and is there to assist with any questions or clarifications I might have. Anya L. Kennedy is an attorney with character and a highly developed sense of integrity, and I am fortunate to have her as my representative. I feel confident that she will zealously protect my interests when presenting my case before the Court.
Ms. Kennedy was very thorough in outlining her assessment of my financial needs and then again in addressing them in her documentation. She was able to answer all questions to satisfaction and was able to discuss financial terms and conditions in terms that I could understand. I have limited knowledge in these areas and felt comfortable in Ms. Kennedy's ability to address my financial interests. I would highly recommend Ms. Kennedy as a legal advocate. Her knowledge and ability to communicate effectively makes her a very accessible and personable advocate.
Anya was instrumental in helping us establish (and continues to work with us) on our personal family trust(s.)
We hired Anya to assist in buying and selling houses. She was extremely thorough and professional in all that she did. We continue to work with her for all of our family planning needs. Highly recommend Anya!!
