What Our Clients Have To Say

"

I recently used Kennedy Schofield Lutz Lawyers to facilitate the refinance of my mortgage and they were fantastic. I worked primarily with Amanda and Courtney who were incredibly responsive, organized, well spoken and incredibly professional. Amanda was gracious enough to move around meetings to accommodate us and our schedule. She was incredibly transparent, by the book and took her time explaining concepts to insure we were well informed. I would highly recommend working with KSL Lawyers.
