A formidable advocate in complex employment litigation

When my company faced a high-stakes wrongful termination lawsuit, we turned to Kristyne Kennedy. Her 25 years of focused experience in employment law and civil litigation were immediately evident. She provided clear, strategic counsel that balanced legal rigor with practical business sense. Her background in labor and employment litigation, recognized by industry peers, proved invaluable. Kristyne and the team at Cole, Scott & Kissane meticulously prepared our defense, leading to a highly favorable settlement before trial. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of Florida employment law gave us immense confidence throughout a stressful process. I recommend her without reservation.
