At The Kennedy Law Firm, in Branford, Connecticut, we take an aggressive approach to defending our clients’ rights in court. We serve clients throughout Connecticut, helping protect them from unfair and illegal actions by debt collectors, creditors, lenders and financiers. We represent people who are the victims of unfair debt collections practices. We also work with consumers to sue auto dealers after being charged improper fees or after required information was withheld. Over 35 years, we have built a reputation for success in a wide range of cases, from small matters that affect individuals to large class actions. A representative victory involved a $50 million settlement against the Navy Federal Credit Union. We represented clients who reported that their cars had been illegally repossessed by the Credit Union, which failed to give them proper notice. No matter what case we handle — large or small — we believe in honest, ethical representation and in service to our community. In fact, we were recognized as the Maryland Law Firm of the Year in 2011 by the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service. Our founding attorney Bernard Kennedy is a member in good standing of the State Bar of Connecticut and is admitted to practice law in the United States District Court, District of Connecticut. Attorney Michael Kennedy was admitted in 1998 to all Connecticut state court and the United States District Court, District of Connecticut over two decades ago and is a member in good standing. People often worry about how to pay us. They are already in financial trouble and worry about adding attorney's fees to their debt burden. If you are concerned, you should know that the law often requires debt collector or collection agencies creditors to pay your attorney's fees. If your case is successful, the collection agency, creditor or car dealer who violated federal and state laws will pay. From your free consultation until matters are resolved, you will never pay anything to us.
