Raiser & Kenniff Criminal Lawyers

My wife required legal assistance as she was accused of stealing from a large retailer. She admits to forgetting to pay for a $20 item, but was charged for a much larger amount. My wife's scenario is extremely sensitive to me since she is not a citizen and could face immigration issues based on outcome. We have never been in a situation like this, and I did not know where to turn for advice. I was hesitant to contact friends for references since I was scared they would pass judgment on us. Luckily I ran across this website and found Mr. Kenniff.

Like many of you reading this now, I was seeking the best lawyer I could find and read all the reviews from prior clients to make a decision. Surprisingly, his rates are extremely fair given his reputation and experience. I remember calling Mr. Kenniff on a Sunday evening, and he promptly returned my phone call within minutes. He took the time to explain what my wife was being charged and how he expects the scenario to play out.

Everything that is stated from Mr. Kenniff's clients is true. He is honest, knowledgable, and truly cares about his clients. He makes you feel comfortable and does not pass judgment given what my wife was being charged with. He explains throughly the options for his clients. We actually had scheduled a consultation with another lawyer later in that day, but retained his services after speaking with him.

During the desk appearance day, Mr. Kenniff arrived on time. Once we saw him, we were much more at ease knowing we were in good hands. My wife received the ACD which alleviated my worries. He then reexplained to us what that meant and provided recommendations. I cannot explain in words how grateful I am for Mr. Kenniff. I know charges are brought upon people everyday, but his assistance also helped keep my family together since I would no longer need to worry about immigration. After all, what is more important than family.

His ratings on this site is a 10, and after working with him, I can attest and understand why it is. I am so grateful that he represented my wife.

We hired Tom as our criminal defense lawyer after being ripped off by Musa-Obregon & Associates. S. Michael Musa-Obregon this was not cheap but i thank god that we decided to make this move. At some point we all decide to take this case to trial and giving the fact that the D.A was not making any offers WE WERE STUCK . To our disadvantage my husbands legal status is not the best. :-( At this point we believed we were going to loose our family and home being that he is the head of household.VERY SAD. The ending to this very sad story became unbelievable with the best results we had never expected. We won the case beating 3 felony charges.Thank You Tom our family will always be very grateful to have met u and wish the best to you and your family .We highly recommend at least speaking to him u have nothing to loose.

I have worked for many attorneys and have never dealt with any other attorney more dedicated than Tom Kenniff. From the beginning of the case he handled for me, he showed interest, professionalism and an unbelievable knowledge. I recommend him highly, and have him on my speed dial. Until this day, every time I have a question or need to consult anyone, Tom is the first one I call, and most of the time, my questions have nothing to do with criminal. What makes him so good at what he does is because the caring he shows for his cases and clients. He is just great.

My business was in really big trouble, we received 13 tickets, and thought we would have to close down. Thank goodness I had a friend who recommended Tom to me. I called him right away. He was able to not only get the case almost completely dismissed, but also he handled everything for me. I did not even have to go. I hope I never need him again, but just in case, it is nice to know that a great lawyer is out there. I recommend Tom very highly!

When over-zealous housing police arrested my twenty-year-old son for riding his bike on a sidewalk on a weekend Tom Keniff responded to our urgent calls immediately. He was able to calm down two parents who happened to be in different locations while their son was temporarily behind bars. He knew how the entire arrest would play out, the details of the system, how to handle the court, and he was attentive to all the details, including being a gentle, yet firm coach in making sure an angry young man said, “Yes, your honor,” instead of “Yeah.” He had the respect of court officials necessary to arrange an expeditious appearance. Thanks to Tom’s good work the outcome was favorable. Most important to us, Tom was available late on a weekend, was generous with his time, and professional in court. All this for a blessedly reasonable fee. He was sympathetic with a young offender and wise enough to counsel anxious parents. All with a reassuring calm, reliability, attentiveness, and professionalism that steered us through the crisis.
