About:
Molly Kenny, who grew up in the Midwest and has been licensed to practice law since 1980, has always had a passion for practicing law. Molly completed her undergraduate studies at Michigan State University. Upon graduating with honors, she attended law school at Ohio's University of Dayton, where she was an editor on the law review and published 2 articles. She received her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and graduated cum laude. Yearning for adventure, she moved west immediately upon graduation. After clerking for a federal judge in Portland, Oregon, she relocated to Seattle and worked at the Public Defender's office where she started trying cases immediately. Shortly thereafter, Molly moved onto working for a large firm focusing on complex litigation, including securities cases and legal malpractice. She gained substantial experience in handling and managing complex commercial and business cases. When Molly added family law to her practice areas, she found the area was the best fit for her. She is divorced and was a single mother who raised 2 boys from a very young age. They have now grown up to be amazing young men. But that experience gave her an insight into divorce and single parenthood that cannot be garnered from a book. She has developed a great deal of skill in handling high conflict divorces and has a significant interest in domestic violence. She is passionate about her clients and their families and is committed to helping them move into a future with hope and clarity. Molly’s practice focuses principally on all areas of family law. Molly is rated AV - the highest possible rating - by her peers through the Martindale and Hubble rating process. Molly was listed as one of Seattle's Top Lawyers in 2010. In 2014, Molly was recognized as a Superb Family Law attorney and Client's Choice by Avvo.com.

"I consulted with Molly regarding a post-dissolution issue. I have a special needs kid who requires a lot of care and I am not able to work much. She advised me to leave my child with a nanny and go to work. She also told me that I was lucky that my ex was involved, because a lot of dads of special needs kids just leave and don’t provide support."

"Molly is an exceptionally skilled attorney who represented me in my divorce. She navigated a very difficult situation: an ex who wanted to relocate a young child out of state due to an affair, and in turn was aggressive and deceiving. Molly counseled me on how to handle the erratic nature of that behavior, and to continue focusing on the things that truly mattered -- my son and my relationship with him. Molly was especially valued at key moments, like a hearing for temporary orders, or during mediation and arbitration. She gets to the key points with compelling arguments that are grounded in the law, but imbued with humanity and heart. I'm so thankful to Molly for helping me maintain equal time with my son, and keeping my son, and thus me, here in Seattle."
