I had the pleasure of working with Tom Kenny on finalizing my divorce. He is experienced and extremely knowledgeable about the laws.
Tom is very professional and responded quickly to all of my communications .
If I could give him ten stars I would!

I initially had another attorney representing me. She was great, but due to personal issues, I had to make a difficult choice to switch representation. My neighbor, a retired police officer, recommended Tom Kenny. He had worked with Tom in his line of work and had Tom represent his daughter in court for a divorce.
I had already been in court for over 3 years, had a previous GAL and multiple pretrial hearings. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my daughter's therapist was no longer available and I had a switch of judges one month before my case would have been finalized. My ex took advantage of the change in judge, requested a new GAL, lied about everything, and made constant accusations through motions. He put me in a position where my daughter was temporarily taken from me.
This is where Tom came in. My former attorney told me, "He's a good guy" and worked to transfer all documentation to him. I had heard his name and his brother's name constantly being assigned as a GAL in other cases at court. When he took over my case, he came in ready to battle. His expertise as a GAL and highly respected reputation in court, made my ex know he was not playing their games. He was very thorough and advised me on the best course of action to take. He got my daughter back to me right away.
In the middle of all of this, I was diagnosed with cancer and my ex wasted no time to use this against me. All I can say is that Tom protected me, but made sure he did what was best for my daughter. I know this was the GAL in him. He never made needless motions or meetings to extract extra money as I have heard so many other attorneys do. Every action he took was with a purpose and to get an agreement in place. No matter what angle my ex took with his legal team, Tom was ready.
Unfortunately, I did have to go to trial. But every move, every single question Tom made was done with a purpose. My ex had 2 attorneys, who were both also GALs, representing him. I had Tom (GAL) and there was the court assigned GAL to my case. At trial, the court had 4 GALS in the room, and the best won, which was Tom of course. He blew the others out of the water. My sister who has worked with multiple law firms in downtown Chicago was extremely impressed by him.
My ex even accused me of being "terminal" to DCFS, in order to get custody of my daughter. It was a clown show with him and Tom made sure it was evident in court. If it wasn't for Tom, I sincerely doubt I would have gotten my daughter back. As a single mother of 2 girls, Tom came in as my savior, and this is not an exaggeration. At court, the majority of time I went alone, but having Tom as my representation, I breathed a sigh of relief and gained strength and courage knowing that he was by my side.
I am forever grateful for Tom for all that he did. I would highly recommend him (and constantly do), especially in high conflict cases.

Review for Attorney Tom Kenny
After over two years of delays and frustration with my previous counsel, I made the decision to switch attorneys—and hiring Tom Kenny was hands down the best decision I could have made. I initially brought Tom on board to take over a post-decree matter that had been endlessly dragged out by my former attorney. Tom immediately took control of the situation and fast-tracked my case, resolving it efficiently in just four court appearances.
From day one, Tom demonstrated a sharp understanding of the legal landscape and an unwavering commitment to my case. He wasn’t just responsive and organized—he was strategic, prepared, and deeply conscious of both my time and money. What stood out the most was his ability to push back against systemic biases I had encountered earlier in the process. With Tom in my corner, I finally felt like I had a true advocate—someone who wasn’t afraid to be aggressive when it counted, and who always had my best interests at heart.
If you're looking for an attorney who is focused, tenacious, and truly dedicated to getting results, Tom Kenny is your guy. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

If you are ordered to use this office for your custody case as a GAL, pray and get both you and your children a therapist- ASAP!
Tom Kenny failed my child after multiple year long “investigations” at the time of trial Tom Kenny could NOT recall any of what my son or his therapist told him during four years of investigation.
Tom Kenny would only “investigate” minutes prior to trial or status updates leaving no time for communication between him and valuable resources in the child’s life: teachers, therapist and doctors. He couldn’t even read his own notes prior to trial to update himself on the case before hand. A smack in the face?? He refuse to show up for the second day of trial 🫨🤔
This case has been before judges every thirty days for 13 years and Tom Kenny now recommends we change pick up location for a teenager to a police station while the dad and his current wife continue to come by the mother and child’s place of residence.
This case has held GALs over the years, 604b and even child advocates and NOT one agreed with any of this nonsense.
He has no understanding of coercive control, narcissistic behavior or mental health issues.
My son feels failed and scared, I am still harassed and stalked.

Michael Kenny was the court appointed GAL. My opinion is that his recommendation to the court was deeply unfair and that if you are male and the court appoints him in your case, you will save a lot of time and money by just accepting her demands rather than working with him.

Making a decision to proceed with a divorce is never easy. Then finding someone to represent you, can be challenging as well. I reached out to the Law offices of Kenny and Kenny - which was the best decision, I’ve ever made. They are responsive and have the experience needed for this matter. They always knew exactly what to do and how to handle every situation we encountered. I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service I received, during and after my divorce. I am forever grateful!
