Kenney to help me resolve this issue. He came through like a rock star. He was razor sharp regarding the law, professional and put my mind at ease. He helped me win my case and I would highly recommend his services. If you want to smile, use Law Office of Paul R. Kenney, LLC

We recently worked with Paul to sell our upstate house. He was reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. The closing was virtual, which was new for us, but he made the process so easy that we were unsure it actually happened! Highly recommend Paul.

Paul was the most efficient and helpful lawyer when I was struggling with landlord-tenant issue.
After calling and emailing more than 30 offices, I was not hopeful until he listened and suggested solution free of charge with concise, transparent explanations.

When my single brother, who lived in NYC, died unexpectedly in August 2020, during the pandemic...with no Will, no last wishes...I didn't know where to turn for help. I was referred to Paul Kenney by a friend of my brother, and I am so thankful to have had his help through this journey. Living 1500 miles away, and not able to travel, I dealt with Mr. Kenney through phone calls and emails...which he was always very prompt and courteous about returning. He helped me navigate the Surrogate's Court of NYC, presided over the sale of a New Jersey property my brother owned, and was always a calming voice when I would become overwhelmed with my "job" as Administrator of the Estate. He is very knowledgeable, polite and easy to talk to.
I highly recommend the legal services of Paul R. Kenney.

Paul has definitely set the standard for what a great attorney should be. Hiring Paul still continues to be the greatest and smartest decision I've ever made. He has helped me in my business in numerous ways and I've learned so much from him. I've needed his services for business contracts, tenant, and eviction issues. Regardless of how difficult or stressful the situation, I can count on him every time. He's quick, intelligent, responsible, honest, and he gets the job done right every single time! Paul is very supportive and attentive. He treats you as if you're the only client he has. His professionalism is outstanding. Trusting Paul with my legal matters has given me the peace of mind that I needed. Whether you have a business or not hiring Paul is the safest and smartest decision you'll make. He will protect you and get the best outcome for all your legal matters. Paul is an excellent and exemplary attorney!

Paul is an absolute gem of a lawyer. This was my first experience hiring and working with a lawyer, and I can't say enough good things about him and his work. He is extremely fair, honest, and professional which is a lot when compared to some other people in this field.

I had reached out to many lawyers about my landlord issue, and I was dismissed. Paul listened to my case and the details I had, and was able to settle the case in my favor.

He is VERY communicative, and quick to respond to any emails. I don't know how he does it!

If you need a lawyer you can trust, go to Paul! I look forward to working with him again in the future.

I was being sued by a former lanlord for about $5,700. Mr. Kenney was able to reach a settlement and get the amount I owed reduced to $1575. Mr. Kenney was also able to get me a payment plan. I highly reccommend Paul R. Kenney.

I feel so lucky that I found Mr. Paul Kenney for my dispute with the Landlord on my leasing agreement during COVID. You will soon see that you are, now, so lucky that you are reading this review. Because, most likely, you need help and he is the one. He took a very reasonable consultation fee for reviewing my documents and provided a significant amount of help and advice before charging me any legal fees. It did not take more then 15-20 mins. He listens to you; reads every single thing you send to him and remembers all details. No repetitive talk with him. He is very smart and straight forward. After hiring him, I even appreciated the way he works more. He has high level of communication skills. He is responsive. You don’t wait for his response for days. He is punctual. The things move forward as he describes. He is extremely brief in communicating with you, like telegram lines but everything is there. No time wasting whatsoever. He is always on subject. But at the end when it comes to his defense documents, by the court on behalf of you, are so detailed. Pages of pages details. He is not brief there. He does not miss a single point. His defense documents are superb. When you read his defense on behalf of you, you say to your self that it could not have been better explained. He is an excellent attorney. He is very well equipped on what he is doing. He searches the similar cases and finds the one which can be related to yours to support your defense. It works. Nevertheless, he is a very nice person. You feel the trust very quickly. He is extremely professional, very well equipped, honest and trustworthy person. 100% Recommended. Hire him. If you need to verify the authenticity of this review, please give me a call. He has my phone#. Please do not hesitate. And Paul, thank you very much, Sir.

Mr. Paul Kenney is an excellent attorney. He handled my case professionally and resolved my issue with a favorable result for me. He is extremely professional and responsive, and really cares about his clients. Also Mr. Kenney is the most honest attorney that I have ever dealt with. I was so afraid of excessive legal bills and Mr. Kenney was extremely fair with me. I could not be more grateful to have found him. I highly recommend him and thank you!!

Not only was Paul professional but he was also very patient, kind and relatable. He made me feel comfortable when speaking to him which is something that is very important to me because it shows that he actually takes his craft serious not only for himself but whoever he encounters. Only spoke to him once and can already see that I’m in the right hands long term. Would recommend 1000x!

Thank you for your help!

Hiring Paul to be my attorney for my businesses has truly been a relief and a blessing. I first met Paul (found through Google Search) in 2019; I was grieving, tired, and stressed. He answered all my questions free of charge which I was very surprised. At the time I had other attorneys. One did absolutely nothing. The others charged what I felt like was the air I was breathing while I was in their presence- calls, emails, the time the attorneys took to speak with each other, you name it and I was charged. I disliked how I was spoken to and I wasn't explained clearly a lot of things which became complicated when I had to make decisions. After firing the attorneys I was very concerned and very upset from that experience. At the beginning of this year, I needed an attorney quickly and I thought of Paul. I called his office, he explained many things, and I hired him immediately. Even though speaking with him put me at ease I was still stressed from my previous experience with my former attorneys. Paul started working quickly with everything I needed. A year-long issue was solved in less than three weeks, contracts were completed, and negotiations were being done. Even during Covid-19 Paul remains consistent with results and availability. Paul is very easy to speak with, professional, dedicated, intelligent, honest, and gets you results! Working with him has been a positive and calming experience. I can now say that I do not regret my negative experience with my former attorneys because it led me to hiring Paul. Paul is my answered prayer. He is a great attorney and I recommend him 100%!

Paul R. Kenney is a dedicated, professional and effective attorney I recommend to anyone in need of a lawyer for any real estate or landlord/tenant issue.

I was a tenant who believed my apt. had been illegally deregulated and that I had been overcharged for years. I also had serious issues with majorly needed repairs being long-neglected in my apartment to the point it wasn't even fit to live in.

I met with three attorneys before Paul.  I didn't feel they truly got a grasp of my complex case, plus their fees were beyond what I could afford.  I had pretty much given up on finding an attorney.

But, I made one last call--gladly it was to Paul's office. 

He answered his office phone personally. It was a much different experience than the initial calls I'd had with other attorneys.  He was personable and asKed pointed questions; with a genuine interest in my case.

When I went to his office and met him in person about my case, I was sure I had finally found a lawyer that was right for me.

Paul noticed something very important all the other lawyers I'd met with had totally overlooKed. I felt he truly listened to all my concerns.  He was approachable and professional.  He was well-versed in the matters I was dealing with and was straight-forward about the challenges of my case.  Additionally, he gave me a reasonable retainer fee and rate.

As for the repair issues I had struggled for many months to get fixed: they were immediately addressed and fully remedied once Paul got involved.

I never imagined the rent overcharge part of my case would last over 5 years! 
But Paul was dedicated the entire time.  He was easily reachable and returned calls and answered emails very promptly.  He was always thorough and never wavered in giving 100% effort, even as my case dragged on and on.   His persistence went above and beyond. 

I definitely recommend giving him a call if you're a tenant facing any housing legal issue.  Paul is helpful and very nice, as well as experienced.

Mr. Kenney has handled my Mom's landlord/tenant matters for several years. His professionalism, honesty, and integrity is above reproach!

He took his time explaining legal options, terminology and always made himself available to answer all of our questions.

Mr. Kenney went above and beyond to ensure that my Mom's interests were protected, and for that I am very grateful and HIGHLY recommend his services!

Paul Kenney is passionate, personable, direct, prompt even when given the shortest of notices. He is generous with his time and always returns calls and follows up HIMSELF. Frank, effective, and a great negotiator, he was able to deliver a successful outcome for me.

Even though I wasn’t the easiest client to get a hold of, they were always there for me since day 1 and for that I’m thankful. Such a pleasure, I’d recommend this firm to anyone who needs help.

The Law Offices of Paul Kenney are a pleasure to work with. We have worked with several mutual clients over the years, and with each and every one of them the process couldn't be easier. He truly is a professional and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone looking to use his services. Thanks for everything Paul.

I chose and worked with Mr. Kenney on a long standing debt owed to me by an out of town organization for work that I had done for them. I had tried a number of times to get the matter settled myself, but with no success. I thought that hiring an attorney might send a signal and it did.

I carefully tied to research someone to represent me—experienced, smart, affordable, and willing to work with me—I am in the habit of being involved in the things I want to accomplish.

I explained the circumstances to Mr. Kennedy, met with him for a consultation, and discussed his assessment. His squared with mine—that it was such a long standing situation that a successful outcome was unlikely- but that given that the money was owed for work done, it was worth another try to try to resolve the issue.

I wrote a draft of a letter to the organization on which Mr. Kenney provided some helpful guidance. At one during these several exchanges when I had not received an answer to one of the notes I sent, he advised patience, and was right.

Ultimately, the matter was satisfactorily resolved—an outcome I attribute in part to having retained council—and the good working relationship I had with Mr. Kenney through out.

With appreciation….

This review is long over due! Where should I start is the question... I retained Paul’s services in June 2016. my case was 2 1/2 years long! Just recently coming to a Much needed Happy end! It wasn’t easy as Paul and I were dealing with a buildings board and lawyer that were less than ethical, and professional. But in all the 2 1/2 yrs Paul never gave up! And he stayed the course remaining calm, level headed,Professional well informed and diligent. We never ended up going to court(which was good thing) it’s too time consuming & expensive. However the constant back and fourth over a 2 1/2 yr period, is enough to frustrate anybody. None the less Paul always kept me abreast and advised me along the way of my best options even when I at times felt like I wanted to throw the towel in. His humor and approach with the mighty pen helped me stay the course! I could never say enough about Paul! He’s just that amazing of a lawyer and worth taking him on as your legal representative. I wouldn’t be in my Happy place or space mentally if it wasn’t for Paul.
