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.

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."

She was our guide and our support! ★★★★★
Attorney Kenworthey is an excellent and caring lawyer! As Pennsylvania residents, when our family member passed away in New York, my family felt helpless. The combination of intestate succession and being in an unfamiliar state meant we needed to find help quick. Having only the Internet to rely on, we found Attorney Kenworthey’s office within minutes. After learning that she has helped clients with similar geographic situations, we anxiously reached out for help. Attorney Kenworthey advocated for us every step of the way. From legal matters such as letters of administration, letters to creditors, estate accounting, obtaining a bond - to day-to-day matters such as helping us gain access to our family member's residence, the car, and even the mail - she was our guide and our support. Having someone as familiar with the New York legal system as Attorney Kenworthey left our family feeling reassured. She was professional, kind, and knowledgeable every step of the way. We are very grateful to have worked with such a compassionate attorney.

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."

You helped us when we thought everything was lost ★★★★★
"Dear Tamara,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your work, and the wonderful approach you have toward your clients. I would like to mention that you do your work responsibly and with the utmost professional demeanor. We were so lucky to have met someone like you Tamara. With lots of work and great effort, you helped us when we thought everything was lost, which meant a lot to us. Tamara, you are a very kind person, you are a proof that there are still honest and honorable people in this world. It was wonderful to be represented by you. You always helped us, no matter the time difference between New York and Serbia. In fact, we felt as if you are our friend since you left that kind of impression on us. 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."

Tamara is a diligent and professional attorney ★★★★★
"In December 2016 my mother was killed in New York at an intersection, while she was riding a bicycle. She was ran over by a truck and passed away instantaneously.
In addition to this devastating news, we had additional difficulties related to the bureaucratic steps such a the funeral, inheritance proceeding and everything else that usually requires the family members to be present, just like here in Serbia.
It was my brother who heard about Tamara, I am not sure anymore who recommended her but it was an excellent decision to hire her to be our lawyer.
Tamara, while working with another attorney, completed the inheritance proceeding and after the lawsuit that was filed in court, we ended up settling.
Prior to that, she helped us with various issues regarding life insurance issues, funeral payment reimbursements, and making sure that all the necessary documents are submitted and everything is streamlined.
She even managed to arrange for video calls so that we did not have to travel to the USA several times over the course of years.
It meant the world to us that during those very difficult times we had someone who was helping us, that we fully trusted, and who was so diligently and was expertly doing her job.
I recommend Tamara from the bottom of my heart for any type of legal issue you may have in the USA.
Best regards."

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."

She is a highly skilled attorney who gives her all and dedicates herself to the case entirely ★★★★★
“I came to New York to work for a moving company. I sustained an injury in the workplace and during that time had to find a way to receive every type of compensation I was entitled to, while also going to post-op therapies. Thus, it was essential that I had all my medical documents in order so that the disability could be determined. Tamara and her law firm were recommended to me by people close to me. That was how our professional relationship came about. I was very lucky that she was recommended to me, because she is a highly professional attorney who gives her all and dedicates herself to the case entirely. During the entire process I always received feedback and useful information from her, and she was always available and ready to talk or give advice. I am very thankful to her and satisfied with all the work and her dedication to my case, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and am certain that her legal help will be of immense importance to you.”

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."

I think Tamara is the BEST! ★★★★★
“I think Tamara is the BEST! I truly enjoyed working with her and she is a fantastic attorney. Tamara has extensive knowledge and experience, both of which she leverages to advocate for her clients, controlling costs and focusing on outcomes. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Tamara representing clients who lived outside the United States. The issues were complex and her ability to effectively communicate in both languages was invaluable to achieving a swift and successful outcome to the litigation. I welcome the opportunity to work with Tamara in the future.”

I would recommend attorney Tamara to all my clients ★★★★★

Complicated inheritance case but Tamara made it look so easy ★★★★★
"I am an attorney in Serbia and I have had a pleasure of working with Tamara Kenworthey on a complicated inheritance case that included the legal work both in US and Serbia.

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."

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.

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!"
- 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."
- Sarah L.

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.”

I cannot recommend Tamara enough ★★★★★
Tamara is excellent and extremely detail oriented. We used her for our estate planning and she put together a thorough and comprehensive plan beyond what we were expecting. My wife and I wanted to just get a Will in place with two young children at home, and Tamara went beyond a simple Will and also built out our Powers of Attorney and Healthcare Advocate documents should we find ourselves incapacitated in any way. Knowing our family plan is more secure is a HUGE relief and peace of mind, and we have Tamara to thank for this! I cannot recommend her enough. If I need any legal advice, she will always be my first call.

Great Person and Lawyer Who Helped Me With Complicated Divorce ★★★★★

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! ”

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."

She was our guide and our support! ★★★★★
Attorney Kenworthey is an excellent and caring lawyer! As Pennsylvania residents, when our family member passed away in New York, my family felt helpless. The combination of intestate succession and being in an unfamiliar state meant we needed to find help quick. Having only the Internet to rely on, we found Attorney Kenworthey’s office within minutes. After learning that she has helped clients with similar geographic situations, we anxiously reached out for help. Attorney Kenworthey advocated for us every step of the way. From legal matters such as letters of administration, letters to creditors, estate accounting, obtaining a bond - to day-to-day matters such as helping us gain access to our family member's residence, the car, and even the mail - she was our guide and our support. Having someone as familiar with the New York legal system as Attorney Kenworthey left our family feeling reassured. She was professional, kind, and knowledgeable every step of the way. We are very grateful to have worked with such a compassionate attorney.

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."

You helped us when we thought everything was lost ★★★★★
"Dear Tamara,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your work, and the wonderful approach you have toward your clients. I would like to mention that you do your work responsibly and with the utmost professional demeanor. We were so lucky to have met someone like you Tamara. With lots of work and great effort, you helped us when we thought everything was lost, which meant a lot to us. Tamara, you are a very kind person, you are a proof that there are still honest and honorable people in this world. It was wonderful to be represented by you. You always helped us, no matter the time difference between New York and Serbia. In fact, we felt as if you are our friend since you left that kind of impression on us. 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."

Tamara is a diligent and professional attorney ★★★★★
"In December 2016 my mother was killed in New York at an intersection, while she was riding a bicycle. She was ran over by a truck and passed away instantaneously.
In addition to this devastating news, we had additional difficulties related to the bureaucratic steps such a the funeral, inheritance proceeding and everything else that usually requires the family members to be present, just like here in Serbia.
It was my brother who heard about Tamara, I am not sure anymore who recommended her but it was an excellent decision to hire her to be our lawyer.
Tamara, while working with another attorney, completed the inheritance proceeding and after the lawsuit that was filed in court, we ended up settling.
Prior to that, she helped us with various issues regarding life insurance issues, funeral payment reimbursements, and making sure that all the necessary documents are submitted and everything is streamlined.
She even managed to arrange for video calls so that we did not have to travel to the USA several times over the course of years.
It meant the world to us that during those very difficult times we had someone who was helping us, that we fully trusted, and who was so diligently and was expertly doing her job.
I recommend Tamara from the bottom of my heart for any type of legal issue you may have in the USA.
Best regards."

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."

She is a highly skilled attorney who gives her all and dedicates herself to the case entirely ★★★★★
“I came to New York to work for a moving company. I sustained an injury in the workplace and during that time had to find a way to receive every type of compensation I was entitled to, while also going to post-op therapies. Thus, it was essential that I had all my medical documents in order so that the disability could be determined. Tamara and her law firm were recommended to me by people close to me. That was how our professional relationship came about. I was very lucky that she was recommended to me, because she is a highly professional attorney who gives her all and dedicates herself to the case entirely. During the entire process I always received feedback and useful information from her, and she was always available and ready to talk or give advice. I am very thankful to her and satisfied with all the work and her dedication to my case, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and am certain that her legal help will be of immense importance to you.”

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."

I think Tamara is the BEST! ★★★★★
“I think Tamara is the BEST! I truly enjoyed working with her and she is a fantastic attorney. Tamara has extensive knowledge and experience, both of which she leverages to advocate for her clients, controlling costs and focusing on outcomes. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Tamara representing clients who lived outside the United States. The issues were complex and her ability to effectively communicate in both languages was invaluable to achieving a swift and successful outcome to the litigation. I welcome the opportunity to work with Tamara in the future.”

Complicated inheritance case but Tamara made it look so easy ★★★★★

Yes, I should have done my Will years ago, but if I did, I wouldn't have had the pleasure of working with Tamara!"

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."

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.

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.”

Lawyer Who Cares About Her Clients ★★★★★

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."
- Sarah L.

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.”
- Sonya B.
I cannot recommend Tamara enough ★★★★★
Tamara is excellent and extremely detail oriented. We used her for our estate planning and she put together a thorough and comprehensive plan beyond what we were expecting. My wife and I wanted to just get a Will in place with two young children at home, and Tamara went beyond a simple Will and also built out our Powers of Attorney and Healthcare Advocate documents should we find ourselves incapacitated in any way. Knowing our family plan is more secure is a HUGE relief and peace of mind, and we have Tamara to thank for this! I cannot recommend her enough. If I need any legal advice, she will always be my first call.

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! ”
