“I developed a working relationship with Bernie over the past two years.
Through estate planning and small business consulting services, Bernie has created my health care proxy, will, and employee handbook for my small business, Shoreline Pet Lodge. He also
actively consults on day-to-day industry issues as they arise.
Bernie is highly ethical. He provides a judgment-free space and demonstrates empathy in the client consultation process.
Looking at information from all angles, Bernie takes the time to explain his legal reasoning — discussing the pros and cons of various situations in a calm, clear, and client-friendly way.
As a business owner, things pop up unexpectedly, and I’ve found Bernie to be a reassuring, active listener. When I send Bernie an email or place a call to his office, he is accessible, reliable, and gets back to me promptly.
Running things by Bernie makes me worry less. I trust him and feel secure knowing he has my best interest at hand.
It is without reservation that I would recommend The Law Office of Bernard T. Kennedy III.”

Owner, Shoreline Pet Lodge
“Bernard is always responsive and available for quick questions or longer problem-solving conversations, and his commitment is unrivaled in the industry.
Over the last six months, we have faced our organization’s first legal challenge, and Bernie navigated our board through the challenge to a favorable outcome for all involved. Bernie’s professionalism was unmatched. He was transparent, down-to-earth, and detail-oriented. He presented different decisions and multiple scenarios to ensure our organization was fully informed. Bernie dove deep into due diligence and provided expert advice.
Bernie cares about his cases, and when working with him, I feel like a person first, before a client. With Bernard’s services, we have the security to protect against risk and ensure we are well-positioned for any challenges ahead.

“My husband and I had a will prepared elsewhere over ten years ago and assumed it still met our wishes. After reviewing our will with Bernard Kennedy, we realized it was no longer appropriate and had several flaws.
Bernard explained everything clearly and was very compassionate.
Knowing that we have him to answer any questions my sons may have when the time comes is a comfort.
I enthusiastically recommend Bernard’s services.”
— Roseann Reynolds and Anthony Barber
“Bernard met all of our expectations and then some.
When reviewing Massage Savvy’s operational documents, Bernard discovered a few legal gaps and redid our company’s operating agreement for a fair price.
Bernard also completed our family estate plan. From the time he came to our home for our initial intake until our estate plan was done, he provided exceptional client support.
My wife and I had no idea what to expect when doing our will, but Bernard was personable, trustworthy, and thorough in explaining all aspects of estate planning. During the consultation, he was a great listener, asked many questions, and was very calm and informative.
His constant communication made us feel appreciated. Bernard was prompt in getting back to us with any questions we had, and he delivered our documents on the day he promised — plus, they were easy to understand.
Since obtaining Bernard’s services, my wife and I feel more secure. Our business’ operational agreement is updated, and we now have peace of mind for our children’s and grandchildren’s future.”
