Tamara is a top lawyer! ★★★★★
"Tamara Kenworthey is a lawyer I would absolutely recommend to anyone. The level of motivation and knowledge in the case that she won for me was amazing. She is very methodical, brave, educated
and is a pure winner. She is doing things NOW
and EXACTLY how they are supposed to be done.
I was so happy with her work that I had to make a gold medal for her which you can see now hanging in her office in Manhattan."

Someone who deserves complete trust, admiration and respect ★★★★★
"It's Friday. An email from the USA arrives.... "You have to sign these documents in the next 7 days". It's happening in a different continent, country, language and laws. While we are in Serbia. We don't know much about how things are done in the USA. Suddenly, we get an adrenaline rush. We are worried and start looking online for someone trustworthy, to help us. There are so many educated people we see online but we do not know any of them. What shall we do next? Suddenly, we see one person. One website: "www.kenwortheylaw.com". Tamara Marinkovic Kenworthey. She is from Serbia, and an attorney in New York. One of us! Looks and sounds great! We get in touch. Explain our problems. I realize that we are talking to a very well educated person with high professional standards. She does not promise 100% solution to our problems, but she promises what is most important: that she will do everything she can to find us the best possible solution. She puts in so much knowledge, experience, hard work and energy in our case. She is so committed. Dedicated. She is someone who has been educated in different countries. She met our expectations. She made our wishes come true. Thanks to her we are now walking toward our goal feeling much stronger. We are going in the right direction and have so much more energy. She is the wind in our sails, that is what makes us more ambitious on our journey to fulfill our dreams. She is an excellent psychologist. An even better person. And the best attorney. Someone who deserves complete trust, admiration and respect. Thank you for everything."

Her word carries a lot of weight ★★★★★
"I am a founder and owner of a Serbian luxury haute couture company and a fashion designer, and my company signed a contract with a company in New York regarding the promotion of my brand and sale of my fashion pieces. After the contract was signed I shipped the fashion pieces to the company. Things did not seem right from the very beginning, starting from the company's import obligations, through promotion efforts, to the sales obligations, including the company's attempts to somehow diminish the value of my fashion pieces to their advantage. After 4 months of receiving no results, information or any documentation that I requested, I asked the company to return the fashion items to me and to stop any and all cooperation with them. But, that is where the agony starts. Not only did they refuse to return my fashion pieces to me, they also behaved as if I had no right to them, while refusing to pay me for a few items that were eventually sold. In addition, they asked me to pay their import invoices, incorrectly claiming that I was responsible for those. 3 more months went by. After numerous hopeless emails and inability to even get the company representatives to get on a Zoom call with me, a friend of mine recommended attorney Tamara to take my case and resolve it.
Mrs. Tamara reviewed all documentation and email correspondence with great attention, then wrote a demand letter to the company. After their unacceptable response and an attempt to ignore me, Mrs. Tamara, ready to find justice and go to the end, sent correspondence to the company listing the consequences they would have due to their unprofessional and improper behavior, quoted the law that was absolutely on my side, and had an appropriate argument and response to every excuse they made, which they ignored when it came from me, but not when it came from her since her word carries a lot of weight. In 48 hours my fashion pieces were ready for pick up and my problem was finally solved.
Mrs. Tamara prevented a huge loss for me, but she also made me feel dignified and she defended not only my work but also my integrity. I am very grateful to her for that. She brought back the feeling of happiness since all of this affected my work in my home country. I can now focus on everything else."

Tamara deployed a great deal of superb legal strategies! ★★★★★
"When you have a problem that requires attorney involvement, you naturally expect to spend money, time and energy. You expect to be in a bad mood. Not to mention - I had a problem that I thought was impossible to solve. My legal issue revolved around the fact that as a foreigner and owner of a company in the USA, I had American business partners who spent many hours in the American courts dealing with similar legal issues. I received a recommendation for an energetic attorney by the name of Tamara (Marinković) Kenworthey. She explained a trajectory of what the entire process may look like, what could possibly happen and what I would need in order to win. The other side was wealthy, patient, and unafraid to deal with legal issues such as ours. My adversaries were waiting for me to give up so that they could take over the company. It turned out that Tamara had made excellent strategic decisions, from a great choice of financial experts, to the perfect timing and the prudent way in which the entire process was handled. The process quickly turned into direct negotiations and the situation changed. From feeling like a loser, I started feeling like a winner, filled with self-confidence. The entire dispute ended after 16 months, and only because of Tamara who steered the process well and instructed me what to do along the way. I now have a friend and an attorney and a new experience that ended in a settlement. We avoided the expensive litigation and I won! This success belongs to Tamara; she inspired me and encouraged me that such a result was even possible. She deployed a great deal of superb legal strategies. Tamara, best wishes, good luck and lots of success to you. Your grateful client."

Innovative Legal Strategist, Painstakingly Tenacious ★★★★★
"Tamara represented me in the sale of the property, and in an inheritance matter, where both matters were emotionally charged. Tamara always kept me informed and answered all my questions timely. She is not an ordinary attorney, she is an innovative legal strategist, professionally diverse and painstakingly tenacious, which I appreciated very much. Tamara is the kind of an attorney that will educate you, lower anxiety and accomplish what you need to get done. Plus she works with a level of grace that makes life seem better. I was very satisfied with her legal representation and have already recommended her to friends who have legal needs."

Thank you for successful completion of an inheritance process! ★★★★★
"We live in Serbia and the fact that we needed to be a part of the inheritance proceeding after our relative passed away in America seemed like mission impossible at first. Thanks to a happy set of circumstances we found Ms. Tamara Kenworthey's law firm and met an individual who led us through the entire legal process in a very professional, focused and dedicated manner and who explained every single detail to us. The very fact that we had an attorney on the ground who speaks our language helped us understand even the most complicated issues from the very beginning and throughout the entire process that lasted for approximately a year and a half and that ended successfully. Communications with Tamara were via email and Viber, without our physical presence, however, at every point in time we were informed as to what was going on and the steps she was taking in court. Tamara successfully organized and handled every step of the inheritance proceeding, from witness testimony, to video hearing between the Surrogate's Court in New York and Belgrade, Serbia, to obtaining necessary supporting documentation. Once again we would like to take this opportunity to thank her for everything she has done for us during the inheritance proceeding since we have the very best memories of her professional legal representation and her dedication to our legal matter; we would also like to recommend her to others who may be in a similar situation."

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your work, and the wonderful approach you have toward your clients.

I am so happy we had a chance to meet you. I wish you all the best, all the happiness in this world. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart."

We Recommend You to Everyone ★★★★★
"Dear Tamara,
On behalf of the entire extended family thank you for everything you have done for us; thank you for a successful completion of the job, for your kindness and understanding, great manners, in sum thank you for everything. We recommend you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who needs an attorney and we are eternally grateful for your help with successfully finishing the inheritance process after the tragic events in America (which affected the entire family, our dear sister and aunt). We were very mistrustful and skeptical about the inheritance process in the USA, however, from the very beginning and the very first conversation with you, after experiencing your kindness, empathy and professional demeanor, we trusted you and knew that our interests will be protected. You always timely updated us on what was happening in the inheritance process, so even though we were in different time-zones, we are in Serbia and you are in New York, at every moment we knew what was happening in court in the USA. You always had time and patience for all our questions. Once again we would like to mention your professionalism and helpful advice which includes instructing us what documentation to obtain so that we could get the inheritance, and also explaining everything to us and simplifying the complex process. We wish you good health and success in your career. We know that in the first contact with a client you easily earn their trust. That is exactly what happened with us and we are recommending you to everyone who may need an attorney and we believe in you."

Thank you ★★★★★
"Dear Tamara,
I am writing this email to thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart; we went through an inheritance process with you and we did not know how it would end. I entered the entire journey completely unprepared and without having any experience with the legal system in the USA, and I want to thank you, first and foremost for being a wonderful human being, and in addition for being an attorney who completed her work diligently. When I found out about the passing of my grandfather who lived in the USA and whom I never met, and when I learned that I am one of his heirs, I thought someone was joking with me. However, when I learned that that was true, I was overwhelmed with fear of the unknown. Thank God you showed up; I could easily speak with you about the inheritance process and was also able to ask you any questions. To make the long story short, I am very satisfied with the experience and hope to meet you in person one day so that I could also thank you in person for everything. Best regards."

Maximum focus on clients, superb level of communication, clients' satisfaction ★★★★★
"Our experience with attorney Tamara Kenworthey was in connection with an inheritance proceeding in the USA for clients/heirs who live in Serbia. Attorney Tamara Kenworthey performed and completed her legal services as reflected in the retainer agreement. We had an opportunity to see the highest level of knowledge of law and court proceedings in action, as well as a satisfactory conclusion of the legal matter that was beneficial to our clients. From the very first day Tamara left a great impression of a highly responsible and competent individual, which made our job before our clients easier; during the proceeding they were able to see that they were in great hands which was obvious in her work and her approach toward them. Maximum focus on clients, superb level of communication with our law firm in Belgrade, clients' satisfaction, convinced us that we have an attorney we can fully trust and rely on to provide excellent legal services to clients who need an attorney in the USA."
- Attorney Djordje K. from Belgrade
Perfect background to resolve a complex international case involving inheritance from the USA and heirs who live abroad ★★★★★
"We worked with Tamara Kenworthey on a complex case regarding estate administration in the USA and beneficiaries who live abroad. Tamara was extremely professional and provided a wealth of knowledge, experience and compassion. She explained the legal process to us clearly in 2 languages and offered solid advice for our unique and challenging situation. In the end, Tamara proposed and delivered the best possible solution, working directly with the court and the bank on our behalf to resolve all estate matters quickly and correctly."
- Jon C.
I would recommend attorney Tamara to all my clients ★★★★★
"I worked on a legal matter with attorney Tamara when my client from Serbia stood to receive inheritance from the USA. I rarely came across such professionalism, kindness and knowledge of the law as the ones she exhibited. The inheritance process concluded successfully, without a single problem or a complication, so I would recommend attorney Tamara to all my clients without a hesitation."
- Attorney Ljubica H. from Belgrade
She put me at ease right away and her smarts and warmth made the entire process easy, and dare I say, enjoyable ★★★★★
"Tamara prepared my Last Will and Testament, something I had put off for years. She put me at ease right away and her smarts and warmth made the entire process easy, and dare I say, enjoyable. Yes, I should have done my Will years ago, but if I did, I wouldn't have had the pleasure of working with Tamara!"
- Marian M.
Best Recommendations From the CEO of a Music Distribution Company ★★★★★
"I am CEO and Founder of a music distribution company from Serbia, Europe. Ms. Tamara Kenworthey helped me cope with a few serious issues I had come upon and fight some major companies that deliberately failed to abide by the agreements. She has a rare quality belonging to her as a lawyer and professional - she goes to the core of a matter and very quickly understands what she needs to do and what advice to give, providing her client no waste of time. My best recommendations therefore go to Tamara Kenworthey."
- Vladimir M.
Successful Cease and Desist Letters ★★★★★
“Dear Tamara, We are sending you a big 'Thank you' from London, Frankfurt, Zagreb and Sarajevo for your legal services in New York and U.S.A. which you provided to us and our companies. We are thanking you for your expertise, diligent work, and most importantly, for 100% successful results, all with reasonable fees. Your successful results were worth every expense. You managed to accomplish what our lawyers from large law firm in Germany were not able to do. We are sending you our regards, and wishing you all the best.”

Big Help With My Small Business ★★★★★
“I have a small business and I had to deal with a large company that was saying that my business was using some of that company’s material without permission. The letters I got from the other company’s legal department were asking for money and threatening that if I did not pay, they would take me to court. It was scary to read what they wrote and I was afraid and thought I had to pay money to that company. I contacted Tamara who was recommended to me by my client, and she looked at the letters I received, wrote to the company and spoke with several people from their legal department and they stopped sending me the letters and asking for money. I did not have to go to court and I did not have to pay any money to that large company. During the whole process Tamara was exceptional honest and was there for me, and I highly recommend her.”

Tamara Marinković Kenworthey is a terrific attorney! ★★★★★

Lawyer Who Cares About Her Clients ★★★★★

- Karl M.
Thanks For Everything! ★★★★★
“I Highly Recommend Tamara Kenworthey and her firm. Tamara is most competent, understanding, and patient attorney I could have asked for. Her fee was reasonable and she returned my calls the same day. She helped me get the lease for my store and explained the process. When there was a big problem in negotiation process, she met with me and the landlord and the landlord's lawyer and talked about the points that were slowing down the signing of the lease, and we solved them to everyone’s satisfaction, she helped me get the lease I wanted for my store. If you're seeking an attorney, don't hesitate to give her a call. I have referred many people to her and she not only knowledgeable, ethical, but she really cares about them and does leave them off in a better place than what she found them. And that's ultimately a good thing! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!”

I Highly Recommend Her! Five Stars! ★★★★★
"Tamara handled the closing of the sale of my co-op and did an absolutely amazing job! Since I had done the sale without a broker, I was a client with many questions and Tamara answered all of them and more. I always had all of the information I needed and everything was done speedily and professionally. I highly recommend her - in fact, I already did to a friend and neighbor of mine who is also selling her apartment. Five stars!"
- Gabriella A.
Excellent Lawyer for My Co-op Sale and Condo Purchase ★★★★★
Part 1: "I received Tamara's name through a friend who sold her apartment in my co-op. Tamara provided terrific legal representation to help me close on my co-op apartment smoothly and efficiently. She clearly outlined the steps involved and stayed in close touch throughout the contract period. She was even flexible enough to provide representation when I had to move my closing date multiple times. Tamara was particularly helpful since I did not use a broker to sell my apartment. I would highly recommend her!"
Part 2: "After a wonderful experience with Tamara selling my co-op 7 years ago, I used her again to purchase a condo with similar results. Tamara provided astute and savvy representation, working to arrive at a consensus with the seller's attorney on several nuanced aspects of the negotiation. I am particularly grateful to Tamara for assistance with executing an unanticipated title transfer following the completion of the purchase. She is knowledgeable in all areas of real estate law, or if there's something she's unfamiliar with, she knows how to research the answer. Buying and selling real estate can be some of the more stressful moments in life, but Tamara provides a calm hand throughout the process. I can't recommend her highly enough."

Fantastic Lawyer When We Bought Our Co-op and Our House ★★★★★
“Tamara Kenworthey represented me in my co-op purchase in 2011. She was referred by a friend and I could not have been more impressed with Tamara. She is honest, dedicated, and diligent. Tamara went over everything so meticulously that I felt completely confident in the transaction. The co-op board was not very quick with providing the minutes of their meetings, but Tamara ensured that she obtained and reviewed all the necessary documents prior to closing. She noted that this particular building seemed to have consistent assessments, something the building clearly doesn’t advertise. In turn, when the building had new assessments every year I was prepared for this due to Tamara’s diligence in reviewing the minutes of the co-op board meetings. This was my first property purchase and Tamara guided me through the entire process from start to finish exactly as I had hoped. I was so impressed with Tamara’s diligence and fastidiousness that I raved about her to friends and coworkers and told them she was exactly the type of attorney you want to represent you during such an expensive transaction.
Fast forward four years and I was purchasing a house with my husband in Garden City, NY. I immediately reached out to Tamara for her expertise with this transaction. I told my husband how much I liked Tamara’s handling of my co-op purchase in 2011 and he agreed to hire her for our home purchase. He has reiterated my feelings about Tamara and agrees that she is exactly who you want to represent you throughout the home buying process. Knowing this was my husband’s first home purchasing experience, Tamara guided him throughout the process and ensured that we stayed on top of the necessary paperwork. My husband and I closed on our house two days ago. Tamara was fantastic. Two days before the closing we went to see the house (this was before our final walk through) and there was an unexpected leak. On the walk through the leak was in the process of being repaired. Tamara repeatedly told us to take our time during the final walk through and not to feel rushed. When we arrived for the closing, Tamara was waiting for us. She took the time to review every concern we had and addressed each appropriately at the closing. She made sure we understood the closing statement and went over every number with us before we wrote any checks. Tamara is an individual who is honest and trustworthy. She is a dedicated attorney who truly looks out for her clients. My husband and I enthusiastically and unequivocally recommend Tamara. Tamara’s rates are very reasonable and for the level of expertise and diligence you receive from her she is worth every penny. Tamara treats your money as if it is her own and she will do things in the most cost-effective yet timely manner. Tamara Kenworthey is a true professional and I endorse her wholeheartedly.”

Great Person and Lawyer Who Helped Me With Complicated Divorce ★★★★★
“Tamara Kenworthey is one of the warmest, friendliest and the most caring lawyers I had a chance to interact with. Yet extremly profesional and detail oriented. She has helped me solve emergency situation and go through complicated divorce with someone who was out of the state, which complicated the whole proces. I was very lucky to find her. She has broke down and explained the proces in details before we have even started the proces. During the proces she kept me updated and in the loop about any change that has happened or is about to happen. I felt very secure and confident the entire time of our professional interaction. Great person and a lawyer! ”

I am writing this email to thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart; we went through an inheritance process with you and we did not know how it would end. I entered the entire journey completely unprepared and without having any experience with the legal system in the USA, and I want to thank you, first and foremost for being a wonderful human being, and in addition for being an attorney who completed her work diligently. When I found out about the passing of my grandfather who lived in the USA and whom I never met, and when I learned that I am one of his heirs, I thought someone was joking with me. However, when I learned that that was true, I was overwhelmed with fear of the unknown. Thank God you showed up; I could easily speak with you about the inheritance process and was also able to ask you any questions. To make the long story short, I am very satisfied with the experience and hope to meet you in person one day so that I could also thank you in person for everything. Best regards."

She put me at ease right away and her smarts and warmth made the entire process easy, and dare I say, enjoyable ★★★★★
"Tamara prepared my Last Will and Testament, something I had put off for years. She put me at ease right away and her smarts and warmth made the entire process easy, and dare I say, enjoyable. Yes, I should have done my Will years ago, but if I did, I wouldn't have had the pleasure of working with Tamara!"

Big Help With My Small Business ★★★★★
“I have a small business and I had to deal with a large company that was saying that my business was using some of that company’s material without permission. The letters I got from the other company’s legal department were asking for money and threatening that if I did not pay, they would take me to court. It was scary to read what they wrote and I was afraid and thought I had to pay money to that company. I contacted Tamara who was recommended to me by my client, and she looked at the letters I received, wrote to the company and spoke with several people from their legal department and they stopped sending me the letters and asking for money. I did not have to go to court and I did not have to pay any money to that large company. During the whole process Tamara was exceptional honest and was there for me, and I highly recommend her.”

Thanks For Everything! ★★★★★
“I Highly Recommend Tamara Kenworthey and her firm. Tamara is most competent, understanding, and patient attorney I could have asked for. Her fee was reasonable and she returned my calls the same day. She helped me get the lease for my store and explained the process. When there was a big problem in negotiation process, she met with me and the landlord and the landlord's lawyer and talked about the points that were slowing down the signing of the lease, and we solved them to everyone’s satisfaction, she helped me get the lease I wanted for my store. If you're seeking an attorney, don't hesitate to give her a call. I have referred many people to her and she not only knowledgeable, ethical, but she really cares about them and does leave them off in a better place than what she found them. And that's ultimately a good thing! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!”

I Highly Recommend Her! Five Stars! ★★★★★
"Tamara handled the closing of the sale of my co-op and did an absolutely amazing job! Since I had done the sale without a broker, I was a client with many questions and Tamara answered all of them and more. I always had all of the information I needed and everything was done speedily and professionally. I highly recommend her - in fact, I already did to a friend and neighbor of mine who is also selling her apartment. Five stars!"

Excellent Lawyer for My Co-op Sale and Condo Purchase ★★★★★
Part 1: "I received Tamara's name through a friend who sold her apartment in my co-op. Tamara provided terrific legal representation to help me close on my co-op apartment smoothly and efficiently. She clearly outlined the steps involved and stayed in close touch throughout the contract period. She was even flexible enough to provide representation when I had to move my closing date multiple times. Tamara was particularly helpful since I did not use a broker to sell my apartment. I would highly recommend her!"
Part 2: "After a wonderful experience with Tamara selling my co-op 7 years ago, I used her again to purchase a condo with similar results. Tamara provided astute and savvy representation, working to arrive at a consensus with the seller's attorney on several nuanced aspects of the negotiation. I am particularly grateful to Tamara for assistance with executing an unanticipated title transfer following the completion of the purchase. She is knowledgeable in all areas of real estate law, or if there's something she's unfamiliar with, she knows how to research the answer. Buying and selling real estate can be some of the more stressful moments in life, but Tamara provides a calm hand throughout the process. I can't recommend her highly enough."

Fantastic Lawyer When We Bought Our Co-op and Our House ★★★★★
“Tamara Kenworthey represented me in my co-op purchase in 2011. She was referred by a friend and I could not have been more impressed with Tamara. She is honest, dedicated, and diligent. Tamara went over everything so meticulously that I felt completely confident in the transaction. The co-op board was not very quick with providing the minutes of their meetings, but Tamara ensured that she obtained and reviewed all the necessary documents prior to closing. She noted that this particular building seemed to have consistent assessments, something the building clearly doesn’t advertise. In turn, when the building had new assessments every year I was prepared for this due to Tamara’s diligence in reviewing the minutes of the co-op board meetings. This was my first property purchase and Tamara guided me through the entire process from start to finish exactly as I had hoped. I was so impressed with Tamara’s diligence and fastidiousness that I raved about her to friends and coworkers and told them she was exactly the type of attorney you want to represent you during such an expensive transaction.
Fast forward four years and I was purchasing a house with my husband in Garden City, NY. I immediately reached out to Tamara for her expertise with this transaction. I told my husband how much I liked Tamara’s handling of my co-op purchase in 2011 and he agreed to hire her for our home purchase. He has reiterated my feelings about Tamara and agrees that she is exactly who you want to represent you throughout the home buying process. Knowing this was my husband’s first home purchasing experience, Tamara guided him throughout the process and ensured that we stayed on top of the necessary paperwork. My husband and I closed on our house two days ago. Tamara was fantastic. Two days before the closing we went to see the house (this was before our final walk through) and there was an unexpected leak. On the walk through the leak was in the process of being repaired. Tamara repeatedly told us to take our time during the final walk through and not to feel rushed. When we arrived for the closing, Tamara was waiting for us. She took the time to review every concern we had and addressed each appropriately at the closing. She made sure we understood the closing statement and went over every number with us before we wrote any checks. Tamara is an individual who is honest and trustworthy. She is a dedicated attorney who truly looks out for her clients. My husband and I enthusiastically and unequivocally recommend Tamara. Tamara’s rates are very reasonable and for the level of expertise and diligence you receive from her she is worth every penny. Tamara treats your money as if it is her own and she will do things in the most cost-effective yet timely manner. Tamara Kenworthey is a true professional and I endorse her wholeheartedly.”

Great Person and Lawyer Who Helped Me With Complicated Divorce ★★★★★
“Tamara Kenworthey is one of the warmest, friendliest and the most caring lawyers I had a chance to interact with. Yet extremly profesional and detail oriented. She has helped me solve emergency situation and go through complicated divorce with someone who was out of the state, which complicated the whole proces. I was very lucky to find her. She has broke down and explained the proces in details before we have even started the proces. During the proces she kept me updated and in the loop about any change that has happened or is about to happen. I felt very secure and confident the entire time of our professional interaction. Great person and a lawyer! ”
