James Keenan is my new hero. He got my son back for me when other attorneys were not interested in my case. He is the ultimate professional, calm, efficient, and caring. He tells you how it is and never leads you on about your chances in court. Thank you, Mr. Keenan--you're the best.
I was referred to Jim Keenan for the important court case of my life, a custody trial for my daughter. Mr. Keenan or his assistant were always very professional and answered the phone every time I called and answered any question I had, which helped ease my mind, knowing my attorney had the control of the case the whole time. Mr. Keenan was always glad to sit down with me and explain my options as well as the possible outcomes of my case without the confusion that legal terminology causes. He also explained the whole process every step of the way, so I always knew what to expect before we walked into the court house. If it wasn’t for Jim Keenan’s law office I might have not won full custody of my daughter and I have personally referred him to a good friend of mine.
I retained Mr. Keenan's services back in 2002; I was broken-hearted after discovering my husband's 2 year long betrayal. I was in my mid 20's with a 2 n a half yr old, living in a tiny 600sq ft apartment, making about 25k per year. The divorce process was far from easy, but I'll never forget walking out of Mr. Keenan's office that first day and him assuring me that me n my son would be taken care of, not to worry. He was right!! Throughout the years, he continues to assist me n guide me through the traitorous waters of visitation, child support, etc. Don't let his gentle nature fool you though, he is a pitbull when he has to be! So if you are looking for an honest, caring, compassionate attorney that's there for his clients long after the case is done, look no further! Thank you, Mr. Keenan!
My divorce was a long, messy one. My husband tried to go through every asset we had and he was almost successful until I changed lawyers. Once I hired Mr. Keenan, the nonsense stopped. Jim was able to stop my husband from liquidating assets and move our divorce forward. Within 6 months I was divorced with a VERY fair settlement. My children and I went from a life of chaos to a very comfortable life and couldn't be happier. My kids now spend plenty of time with both of their parents, who are much happier people! I will always be grateful for the kindness and professionalism I received from the Law Office of James T . Keenan.
Mr Keenan did a great job handling my alimony modification. I had a different attorney during my divorce 5 years ago and needed to have my financial situation reviewed. He was very knowledgeable and helpful and I'd recommend him to friends.
Mr. Keenan is a genius of a lawyer. Before I took my case to Jim, I was paying a lot of money in alimony to my former wife. I knew she was living with her boyfriend, but didn't know what to do. Mr. Keenan took her to court and now I'm not paying any alimony. Thank you Mr. Keenan.
I am currently very happy with how Mr. Keenan is handling my divorce case. My brother-in-law referred me to Mr. Keenan after his successful child custody case. He is assertively representing me and defending my rights as a wife of 15 years. I feel I have a real advocate in Mr. Keenan. I highly recommend him.
I was shocked to see the negative review on this site since my dealings with Mr. Keenan have been nothing but professional and of the highest quality. Mr. Keenan truly represented my rights as a husband and father in my divorce. I was very happy with the child visitation schedule and child support I have to pay. Mr. Keenan routinely kept me posted on every aspect of the case and always had excellent advice for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him to all my friends.
Great attorney--returned my calls, really listened to me, and helped me through a difficult time in my life. He got custody of my child back for me! Highly recommend.
I wish I had done my due diligence. I had a custody situation as well as QDRO situation that needed to be addressed. I had dealt with some shady lawyers prior and mistook his personable demeanor for integrity. Nearly nothing to show for more than a half a year of time and just about all of my retainer. It became obvious that he either didn't know what he was talking about or was just BS'ing me. Please read the contract, the fine print will likely be a prelude to how your experience will likely play out. Extremely slow pace. Minimal production. Overcharging for phone calls, emails. filing paperwork. Clerical work. He was kind enough to even admit to me after about 6 months of minimal communication and progress, he hadn't really done much on my case-even apologized. Did not stop him from continuing to overcharge for his services. He was even kind enough to charge me for firing him. He is no different than many of the other attorney's as far as business and billing practices are concerned. I would not recommend him. If you enter into a contract with this man do yourself a favor and ask for parameters on how long things will take, and how much it will cost. Otherwise, expect a slow, unproductive expensive ride.
