Hennessy Law Custody and Divorce - Hemet, California

Vulgar Tech

I had the good fortune of contacting Kathleen with respect to my desire for a divorce and my need to retain custody of my disabled son. Although I don't believe I'll use her services, she went above and beyond in the consultation we had. Don't start thinking you're going to get a bunch of pro bono advice, she's savvy about that, but she does make every effort to tell you how the law will apply to you and your divorce. She is.... brusque, but do you really want a "nice and kind" attorney or do you want a no-nonsense professional? I don't want nice, I want my ex to HATE my attorney and if she's a bit brusque and to the point with you just ask yourself what an absolute royal pain in the backside she'll be to opposing counsel? I'll take that 10 out of 10 times, especially if it makes my ex mad, all the better imo.

I had a consultation with her and she was rather rude and unsympathetic. Didn’t let me speak and immediately jumped to conclusions and assumed I was guilty because I’m a man. People like her is why men don’t report abuse. In hindsight, I had the money on hand and did not retain her.

Ms. Kathleen has been an angle sent from god! She’s absolutely amazing! Not only did she return my phone call but she took way more time prepping me for mediation over the phone although time was limited she never rushed nor hesitated! I will forever be thankful. This woman has so much knowledge…… so passionate…… most importantly honest and works with integrity!

I have been VERY unhappy with my family law attorney for legitimate reasons, so I looked to hire better representation. I came across Kathleen's name after doing a Google search and gave her a call. I could NOT believe that she stayed on the phone with me for over an hour - FOR FREE! I've NEVER had an attorney go beyond their free 30-minute consultation! She listened carefully to my concerns, and she gave me genuine feedback to every issue I disclosed! She was 100% real, was VERY knowledgeable about the judge assigned to my case, as well as the opposing attorney. I even broke down on our phone call and began to cry because of valid fears and worries that I have. She became so sympathetic and even addressed me as "Honey." Based on the judge assigned to me, she was under the impression that regardless who represents me, this judge was going to be consistent with her type of ruling. She honestly told me she would hate for me to spend thousands of dollars retaining her, for the same outcome, so she recommended I shop around before retaining her. I did call her back later that day and the next day (I couldn't believe an attorney works on Saturdays but she does from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.). She did not return my call so I assumed she changed her mind about representing me.

Well, I just got a call from Kathleen and she spoke to me AGAIN for just under an hour this time - FOR FREE! This is SHAMEFUL, but Kathleen has told me MORE and even prepared me MORE than the attorney I hired last year for my upcoming hearing. KATHLEEN CARES!!! And she is NOT money hungry! Kathleen had NOTHING to gain from giving me all of this free advice! If my case goes to trial, I plan to retain Kathleen! I need to know that my attorney is on my side and will do EVERYTHING she or he possibly can for me and my child's best interest!

Kathleen even seems like a person I would like to hang out with. I don't drink AT ALL; yet, she makes me want to buy her a drink (not sure if she drinks)! They just don't make them like Kathleen anymore!

Thank you Kathleen for being a decent person, and really having my best interest at heart, though you are not currently my attorney! You are how it "used to be." Integrity, morals, standards, and just the hard working American tradition has gone out the door. But you still retain those values Kathleen.

May the Lord Bless and Keep you!

Kathleeen is as caring as she is passionate about helping people. She is kind, but she is also real. Our experience with Kathleen was wonderful. She never went MIA like most attorneys do, and answered all of our questions. We never felt tense or anxious. We have worked with other attorneys in the area, but none of them compared to her! If what you’re going through is important to you, hire this woman!

Kathleen Hennessy is an attorney that you want on your side! She has been amazing in my case and has helped me every step of the way. I've been fighting a visitation and child support case and Kathleen's knowledge of the situation was great to have. I like that I am never speaking to a receptionist or a paralegal that helps her. Every time we spoke it was directly with her and no one else. I highly recommend her and I have given her information to many. Kathleen is an honest, straight forward, no BS attorney. Exactly what you need! She is a pitbull in the court.

I am so grateful to have had Kathleen represent me in family law court. She is a tough attorney who will fight for what is right, yet she has a heart of gold. If you are looking for someone who is honest, caring, and good at what she does, then look no further than Kathleen Hennessy!

I cannot say enough great things about this women! She is amazing, has been working with me over the past year to handle a really rough divorce and custody battle. Now at the tail end of the divorce and I am so thankful for all she has done. She is straight forward, to the point and will do what is best by you as her client. From walking me through techniques to help me cope with court anxiety, to helping me stand up for myself for what was right for my children and I. The very FEW post I see about her being "Rude and Unprofessional" are, in my opinion, total BOLOGNA and are probably due to the fact the client did not hear what they wanted to hear. She cares about her clients and it is not all about the money to her. My ex was ordered to pay attorney fees to Kathleen as well as back child support directly to myself and Kathleen asked the judge to reverse the amount to where I would be paid more of my back child support monthly and she took the lesser monthly payment he was ordered to pay for attorney costs. She put my kids and I needs above her own and for that, she will always have a special place in my heart. If I could give her a million stars, I would. In my opinion, you would be smart to retain her as your lawyer. 🙂
