John James Keenan

Very bad experience, complete neglect of legal matter, money lost John Keenan took over $5,000 to represent me with clear promises: he would file a notice of appearance and respond to the pending motion to dismiss that threatened my entire case. He specifically assured me these critical actions would be handled. Instead, Keenan completely abandoned his duties. Despite confirming he was "working on" my case and negotiating timelines with opposing counsel, he never filed the appearance or responded to the motion. For many month's he failed to notify the Court that he was even hired. Eventually, opposing counsel took advantage of the situation because he was tipped off through Keenan's negligent communication with him. Keenan's inaction directly caused my case to be dismissed by default - the worst possible outcome. This goes beyond simple neglect. Keenan actively misrepresented the status of my case while failing to perform the most basic functions of legal representation. He collected payment, engaged with opposing counsel, then left my case to collapse. Now he refuses to return materials from the client file or provide any explanation for his professional failures. The pattern is clear: Keenan accepted representation, pocketed the money, and abandoned the client. His conduct violated fundamental attorney obligations and caused irreparable harm to my legal position and case. Take this as a warning before hiring him. View More
