Does the firm still operate under J. Kelly Kennedy's name?

Staff reference themselves as the 'Legal Eagles' and note they continue serving clients since the named attorney's 2017 passing, with 24 years of prior collaboration.

What should I expect to pay for a consultation?

A 30-minute tax consultation was billed at $350; one estate matter resulted in $6,000+ being charged versus a different quoted amount. Request a written estimate before proceeding.

What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews from staff continuity after 2017 contrast sharply with one and two-star complaints spanning years: clients report being charged far more than quoted, receiving poor tax and legal advice, and then abandoned or pursued for collections. Detail is limited to scattered historical reviews.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Ms. Babers earns consistent praise for patience, knowledge, and responsiveness across years of client relationships. One recent caller found her dismissive during a phone consultation, which stands against the pattern of reviews praising her attentiveness and willingness to explain complex procedures.

Most reviewers praise the firm's professionalism and longevity with clients over decades. Older complaints cite expensive billing, poor mediation attention, and unfavorable outcomes on custody and tax issues; limited recent review text makes current service assessment difficult.
