I have known Stephen since we were cadets at Culver Military Academy. Over these 40+ years, I have come to know Stephen very well and can say without hesitation that his integrity is beyond reproach. Stephen has done first rate work for my business on many occasions and has consistently produced better results than other attorneys that I’ve employed, often finding solutions for messes that others had created. Stephen has my highest possible recommendation.

I recently consulted Steven on a case and he was remarkably up front honest and professional. Even though I didn't retain his services they lead to me having a much higher level of knowledge than I went in and having a piece of mind in my decision process. Thank you Steven!

Steve is my hero! I was so stuck and out thousands of dollars until he took my case. He personally called and emailed the opposing party regularly and always responded to me quickly with updates. He is a fierce and loyal attorney, even when the case took an extra year and a half. I am so glad he was on MY side. He got me twice the amount I had originally sought, even the judge couldn’t believe it. I hope not to rush back to a courtroom soon, but if I did, I would want Steve by my side.

I was referred to Stephen Kennedy by a trusted friend to take over as my attorney in a civil litigation matter. He immediately got up to speed and took charge. He thought beyond the immediate issues, left no stone unturned and in the end his experience, his legal knowledge, and his courtroom savvy led to a successful conclusion. I can finally move on and I give Stephen Kennedy full credit.

I am General Counsel for a pharmaceutical company that was sued for patent infringement. I hired Mr. Kennedy to take-over a case where previous defense counsel had charged my firm more than $1 Million in six months and we made absolutely no progress in the case. In less than three months, and for a fraction of the cost paid to the name-brand Firm, Mr. Kennedy successfully demonstrated to our competitor that infringement was not possible. The case was dismissed. He now has a client for life.

As General Counsel for a large company, I have retained counsel from all over the country and globally for legal advice. I was tired of paying huge law firms $700 per hour and associates with no experience $400 per hour to work on cases and get mediocre results. Stephen Kennedy has a small firm, had a lower hourly rate and achieved results that far exceeded my expectations. I will use him for more cases in the future.

Mr. Kennedy is easy to talk to and communicates what he needs from the client very clearly. His ability to think ahead and take strategic direction is invaluable. In addition to in-depth preparation, he thinks on his feet, quickly drawing from vast knowledge and experience.
