Excellent lawyer and staff! Aug 13, 2024

I was involved as a witness for a complicated case that Tom Kenniff 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.

Very punctual and professional May 23, 2024

Doug and Harry were very punctual and on top of my case. They were professional and were able to help me under such short notice. I would contact them about your case over other offices as they will guide you through the process professionally and efficiently. They worked really hard behind the scenes and don’t take enough credit where it’s due, so I would definitely give them a look into your case!

OMG, legal eagles SAVED MY LIFE! Mar 21, 2024

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. :)

Thomas Kenniff saved my life! Mar 29, 2020

Thomas Kenniff saved my life! I found myself in a terrible situation that I was later overcharged for. I was prepared to have to do some jail time, but Thomas assured me that jail time was not an option. After a long year and a half of running back and forth to court, the case was DISMISSED. I couldn't believe he did it. He believed in me more than me and I thank him for that.

We won the case beating 3 felony charges Nov 10, 2013

We hired Tom as our criminal defense lawyer after being ripped off by Musa-Obregon & Associates. S. Michael Musa-Obregon, this was not cheap but I thank God that we decided to make this move. At some point, we all decided to take this case to trial, and given the fact that the D.A. was not making any offers, WE WERE STUCK. To our disadvantage, my husband's legal status is not the best. :-( At this point, we believed we were going to lose our family and home, being that he is the head of the household. VERY SAD. The ending to this very sad story became unbelievable with the best results we had never expected. We won the case beating 3 felony charges. Thank you, Tom. Our family will always be very grateful to have met you and wish the best to you and your family. We highly recommend at least speaking to him. You have nothing to lose.
