Kennedy Law/Rachael was a great help in filing completing and filing all documents for a trust estate. She was extremely knowledgeable, identified all required docs and tasks required to complete filing and distribution of the estate. Rachael met all schedules and kept the trustees advised throughout. Highly recommended.
Our family has worked with Rachael on multiple occasions. She’s always been very easy to talk to, professional, calm and compassionate. Recently we hired Rachael regarding the custody of my niece. From the beginning, Rachael was honest and upfront with expectations on the good and bad side in order to keep us prepared. She made it easy to understand what was going on and was always there to answer our questions. Our outcome has been wonderful and we are glad to be moving on and grateful to have Rachael!
Rachael and the members of her law firm are an extremely professional group of competent individuals who were patient with my case, thorough and showed great empathy. Rachael's calming demeanor was contagious, she was easy to talk to, and fair - yet relentless in a resolution. My settlement was exactly what I had asked for and I couldn't be more grateful or recommend her more!
Rachael was very personable and listened to me during our consultation. She understood the complexity of my divorce and handled each step in a way that allowed me to remain no contact with my spouse during the divorce. The divorce was quick! I felt supported by her staff and comfortable reaching out with questions. The process was simple on my end. I appreciate her helping me to get my life back through this divorce.
Rachael Kennedy and her legal team provided me and my son outstanding customer service though out the guardianship process. I would recommend Kennedy Law to my friends and family.
Rachel was hired by myself to work on my fathers estate. It was a very complicated situation and a long distance situation. She was kind and patient and communicated with me every step of the way. I would definitely hire her for other legal needs if necessary.
Rachael is a competent attorney with her client's best interest at heart. She is thorough, effecient, and most importantly, compassionate. My husband had suffered a massive stroke and we had some trouble with his ex-wife. Rachael took control of the situation so we could focus on Brian's health. I would highly recommend Rachael for any family law services needed.
