I strongly warn anyone considering a lawyer for a contested divorce: avoid Ann E. Kennedy & her…read morefirm at all costs if you don't want to endure heartbreak, frustration, & lifelong damage like I have since 2022.I hired Ann under the assumption she would act with integrity & professionalism, regardless of my being a Black immigrant woman. Instead, she treated me as an afterthought & completely failed to protect me. The most shocking example was during mediation. Instead of representing me, Ann sent an unqualified, clueless young man who wasn't even a paralegal. He sat there lost, unable to answer the mediator's questions, leaving me vulnerable & alone against my ex-husband & his lawyer. When Ann finally showed up, she chatted casually with the mediator, explained she had another mediation at the same time, then disappeared again. I was left defenseless, forced to accept whatever my ex wanted, despite paying Ann to fight for me. Worse, the mediation agreements were never accurately included in the final divorce decree. My ex had agreed to take on two specific debts, but due to Ann's gross negligence, they were left out. When I asked her to fix this, she arrogantly told me it was too late & demanded more money to file a new case--for her own mistake! Because those debts stayed on my credit, I have suffered devastating consequences: ruined credit, 22-30 missed payments reported, & multiple mortgage & rental denials. I reached out to creditors & credit bureaus, but without proper documentation, they dismissed me as lying. My dreams of homeownership are shattered, and I live with ongoing emotional & financial pain. Ann then had the audacity to bill me further, including charges for the incompetent stand-in she sent. I refused to pay & still await her to sue me so I can expose her fully. I question daily: would she have treated a white woman the same? Ann's discrimination & negligence destroyed my life. If she wants payment, she must first fix my credit, compensate me for years of damage & make amends for the suffering she caused. Please learn from my tragedy. Find a lawyer who values your humanity & rights.
Ann E. Kennedy was the architect of my downfall--not an advocate, but a betrayer of trust. Ann literally protected the interests of my Ex because he is white like her, and she shot me in the heart because I am black. Otherwise, why remove (whether intentionally or by error) the only 2 major liabilities my Ex himself agreed to pay (because they're his anyways) from the final divorce decree documents? DEAR READER, PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH BY AVOIDING ANN E. KENNEDY AND HER LAW FIRM AT ALL COSTS.
