Raiser & Kenniff

"I was involved as a witness for a complicated case that Tom Kennif was representing the defendant on. From his initial contact with me through the process of testifying, his communication of what was expected and what the law meant in layman's terms that I could understand, was excellent. And he won the case for his client!! Excellent lawyer and his staff were great."

"OMG it is no exaggeration to say these legal eagles SAVED MY LIFE! I was in desperate need of top notch legal counsel and representation, and that's when I found the deservedly top-rated law firm of Raiser & Kenniff. Mr. Kenniff is, like me, a veteran of the armed forces, having served honorably in wartime Iraq. He is also a former NYC prosecutor who was the GOP's 2021 nominee for the powerful office of Manhattan District Attorney. So Mr. Kenniff had the perfect background and mindset to be of invaluable assistance to my case. I had never been in such a daunting situation. I survived being victimized by some deranged street lowlife with a criminal record 10 times as long as this review only to be victimized by the NYPD, and the Bronx DA's office. After figuring out what had happened, both rogue institutions became hellbent on seeing me finish my life in some upstate gulag where I would be surrounded 24/7/365 by people as bad or worse than the animal whose sudden violent attack I had successfully fended off. A heavy-hitter like Mr. K was needed to defend me from these enlightened despots. The DA's office should never have filed charges against me. Besides the rank injustice of such an unnecessary and mean-spirited action, they had no evidence capable of meeting their evidential burden, even though that burden has gotten frighteningly lighter in recent years. Indeed, their only evidence was languishing in a solitary confinement unit on Riker's Island - where he should have been the night we met - and they had nothing but that maniac to go to the grand jury with. But the bitter old saying, "You can indict a ham sandwich" is true, especially in frightened Gotham, so it seemed likely I would still be put through the expense and ordeal of a full-blown criminal trial at some point down the road. And I surely would have if the assistant DA didn't know who was representing me: the notorious and feared legal gunslingers Raiser & Kenniff! When “the People” noticed who was representing me, they realized they would have many, MANY hours of work ahead of them, and in the end would STILL lose. Thank God I had the great Tom Kenniff in my corner, and that meant there was no point wasting a lot of time and resources trying to railroad me into the clink. Four months after my arraignment, a mealy-mouthed, assistant DA requested the judge dismiss all charges against me. It was all I could do to exit the courtroom without twerking! If you are in big trouble like I was don't fool around or shop around. Hire these well-known terminators and like me you'll be damned glad you did. :)"

"At every level their service was top notch and extremely informative during our legal process. Not that you want to be in a situation requiring legal council but if you do. Use Raiser & Kenniff"

"I have a great experience working with Raiser and Kenniff on some debt for my small business. They have treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares about the success of my company."

"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."
