I am an Active Duty Service Member. On 9 March 2012 I retained Mr. Haley’s legal services by signing a contract and paying him $1400 toward his $2800 flat fee. During this initial consultation, I requested that he immediately file a petition with the court to terminate my once voluntary guardianship of a minor child because I was scheduled to receive custody of said child on 31 July 2012. During this consultation he advised me to cease paying child support opining that the court erred in allowing me to pay it in the first place. In his opinion, because my guardianship was voluntary, the child support order was not enforceable and I ceased paying child support at his direction. To date I have paid him $2600 of his $2800 flat fee according to his installment schedule, all the while submitting to his consistent failure to provide me with any documents he may have filed on my behalf while consistently being unprofessional, discourteous, dishonest, non civil, and disrespectful in his yet infrequent communication with me regarding the status of my case and his action/inaction. On 21 June 2012, I notified him that I was served that day with a notice to appear in court for being in contempt for failure to pay child support and inquired whether or not he had even filed my petition. He refused to answer my questions directly and assured me everything had been taken care of on his part. On 26 June I found out that he had indeed filed the petition in April but had failed to follow up with the court, which resulted in the case being closed on 31 March. When confronted about this, he continued to be evasive and rude, resorting to his usual hostile and condescending tone which ended with him advising me that he was filing a motion to strike his appearance as my attorney. He cited my "unreasonable expectations" of him as his justification and hung up the phone on me. On a subsequent call, he refused to refund the $2600, despite having breached our contract upon his resignation without just cause. I now face an impending court date without his representation despite the fact that he never filed my own petition and has retained my $2600 which I could use to retain another attorney on short notice. He is, essentially, not only a liar and incompetent attorney, but also a thief and I will have to file grievances with the ABA and the BBB as well as sue him in court in order to recoup my fees which he did not earn.

It's painfully obvious that Mr Haley posted the great reviews himself. They all have Sept 8th as their post date and you can clearly see they were written by the same person. Shame on you Kenny, you're a crook.
THIS ATTORNEY GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM (DISBARRED TO PRACTICE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND ! HE lied, cheated, scammed me and others. EMEMBER KENNETH HALEY, GOD DO NOT LIKE UGLY! I will never forget how you treated me in my child custody matter in Maryland last year.### OF THE EARTH!
All the peole that constantly refer "Mr. Haley" seems staged and counterfit. He is rude and all the other things mentioned which can be verified on other sites by googling his name and complaints". Worst experience ever and if you read a negative review it mirrors exactly the same as everyone who seems upset about his professionalism. Are we to beleive that he is 50% rude as hell and then he's so curtous and professional. Im sure if he was decent it would be known but there is only contemp anger and refund ready clients. Hard to find a professional who gets such harsh ratings for nothing. But if you want to hire him and end up here try it. If anyone wants to do a group lawsuit against him please contact me @coreyecole at hotmail. Im not asking to bash the guy just tell the truth and actually help people like me that lost my daughter in the process. How does one retain a lawyer 2 weeks before the other party but get served first? Nothing submitted missed court dates, a lawyer that blames the client. too much.
I used this man for my divorce and felt like he did absolutely beyond nothing. He hated working via email and didn't answer his phone. We never had discussions about my case, except for 10mins prior to walking into the court room. I was an emotional basket case and didn't know what to do about it. I didn't even get my divorce decree from him; though he swears he sent it - not! All my other mail was delivered successfully, but not this important document. I had to drive back to the court house and pay for another copy. When I emailed him about it, he gave a snide, disrespectful respone. I wish I had known to file a grievance, I would have done so immediately. Now that I'm not as torn up about the divorce, which was finalized in 2014, what can I do? I'd like to get my fee back. Oh and he said I would pay a flat fee of $3100; but mid way through he billed my credit card another $400...saying his fees went up and we discussed this - again, not. I felt he preyed on my weakness because I didn't want the divorce and wasn't thinking properly.
He took our money.. he promise to file post conviction for my dad within 90days he never did..took alot of our money..good news is he lost his license after a hearing ..he is done scamming us for now
Kenneth Haley... I also met him on Black People Meet years ago and have gotten to know him extremely well over the years. He is a liar, cheat, manipulator, emotional abuser and con artist. I truly believe everything that I have read here, as I too have experienced this. No question he takes financially from others to exist and it is never enough. He NEVER accepts responsibility for his wrong-doings and shows absolutely no remorse for how he treats others, nor admits to facts. He is very much narcissistic.
It is wonderful to hear that he is no longer allowed to practice Law. All future employers, BEWARE! This man is not to be trusted in any manner!
Mr. Kenneth Haley...Black People Meet seems to be his trolling grounds. We meet years ago as well on that site. I did my due diligence by researching him early on in our relationship. I’d read many of these posts to know with my eyes open the devil I was entering into a relationship with. We all have a past. His, while disturbing, didnt scare me. I mistakenly believed our love was his catalyst for change. It’s heartbreaking to see that while I was pouring myself into loving and building him up, he continued to date - even proposed to others while I was in his bed, lie, cheat, scam, manipulate and abuse not only me but so many others. Sadly, he was using every one of us at the same time.
How many of us have paid his bills? Or purchased for him not realizing our efforts are supporting the other women in his life. How many lies did he tell you when you called him on his bs like why do you have two phones, that’s not my shampoo or bath soap, why Shane, what’s the occasion for flowers, where is your business trip taking you for a month, why is your phone off?
How did he get away with it? Not only is he a master manipulator but I think deep down we all fear what he’s capable of. Honestly a man who pimps himself for money under the guise of love or professional services, destroys your esteem and tears you down as a human will do whatever it takes to maintain his lies and lifestyle. So we don’t fight back. And gets bolder every time he gets away with it.
This man has a cold, evil heart beyond what is written here. While some found relief in suing him for their funds, I am left to wish justice to come quickly. I’d like to see him on blast in every newspaper coast to coast. Let his neighbors and coworkers know the slim they associate with. Have his dating profile banned. Sigh. But I’m resolved to let God get a hold on him.
where is mr wonderful living/working/scamming women? He is truly a piece of work! Luckily, I got all my money back from this sob!
Just so you know...He is in Charlotte, NC continuing to do the very same thing. Again, the very same dating site. Thank you ladies for your honesty and transparency...I know it must be hard, but learn to forgive yourselves...some people are really good at what they do. He's obviously perfected the art of being a con... Best of luck.
Wow... I just swapped numbers with who I believe might be this guy. I met him on POF. His "baby face" in the pics looks so innocent. It's hard to believe these allegations. But I've already had my fill of liar and cheaters, so I know there is a reason my intuition told me to Google his number.
Needless to say... I won't be calling. Thanks ladies for the heads up. God Bless!
Like many of you, I meet Kenneth many years ago online. We had an off and on again friendship. Over the years, I too have gotten to know him very well. And is an expert, so to say, on this man.
I too googled his name after we met and found these posts. I have read, re-read and reacted the same way most of you have. Each time a new post is made, I get the notice and read over something new. It's shocking and hard to accept the person you love is capable of the things he's accused of doing here. I don't know if we are all motivated by anger, the desire for revenge or just needed an ear. But as we all know, once something is on the web, it hard as hell to get rid of.
The man I know Kenneth to be is also a loving, funny and proud. The man I know also worked two jobs to keep his lifestyle. The man I know loved my children as much as they cared for him. I have seen him work hard to get where he is in life. I have watched him suffer. I too was somewhere in the background while all of this was going on. I'm looking over my calendar asking, hmm, how was all this going on at the same time. A couple of posts had me saying, no way this is him. He's is not like that. The man I know, is more than these posts. The man I know is better than this.
I also know how much these posts have hurt him. Yes, he has past. While your past deeds may not have hurt anyone, no one is innocent. I am sorry you were hurt by his actions/inaction during his professional work. I sorry for every woman who's heart was affected. He has paid a high price and does not deserve these attacks.
For those who meet him in the future. Don't always look at the past as an indicator for the future. There is more to him than these posts. Give me a chance to prove it.
Your experience with him is rare...like, 1 out of a million. The man I knew is exactly the man the negative posts say he is! Consider yourself lucky and dont try to discredit our truth!
Kenneth this is you. That is why you said Give me a chance to prove it. Stop hurting other women and just find yourself and be good to yourself . You have to love and forgive yourself before you can be right. I was with you long enough to know that this is you. STOP! You need to love yourself and stop this BS. It is ME and you know I have always seen thru you like a window to your soul. Go with God and straighten up your life while you can. It is still time
I by no means meant to discredit or belittle yours or anyone’s experiences. What you have gone through is horrible. I do not make light or make excuses for his past. I only ask for grace and mercy for his future.
He is a man of flawed character and was exhibiting the same behavior as of July! His "past " is his present!
Wow is all I can say. I just got engaged to this guy. If this is true I am definitely walking away.
My recent experience with him is exactly like everyone else’s here.
I hope you walked away because everything you’ve read about this evil man is true. I met him on POF as well and he’s a con artist. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wrote all those kind things about himself posing as a woman. He’s already done this before by submitting posts regarding what a great attorney he was. Ladies beware! Men who prey on women don’t change.
Has anyone met his friends, family etc?
I walked away from him twice. I was engaged and we were going to have kids. He is not who you think he is. Dont let him use you. I never did..Investigate
Has anyone met his friends, family etc? If not then that should be an eye opener.
Have you met the illusive family or friends?
@InShockRightNow. No I never met anyone. Friends or family.
I did meet his friend and parents. i lived with him and we were engaged and supposed to be married twice and have kids but I left because I seen ALL the signs. I did my investigation. Dont let him use you, I was smarter and seen through all the BS. He still calls and wants to be together but I completely wiped him out of my life like an eraser. Beware he is a charming snake but he could NEVER figure me out. I was the one that got away.
I wish I would of knew of this earlier He was rude to me as a man. I still have the e-mails and stuff he did to me.
I have read all the post about dating Kenneth Haley, I met him over 15 years ago and immediately noticed he was emotionally abusive. I told him I didn't want anything to do with him, blocked his number and moved on. Never talked to him again. You must ask yourself the question, why didn't I wait long enough to see who this man was before I jumped in the bed with him? If you would have waited he would have revealed himself to you and you would not have had to experience the hurt and heartache. I am sorry that so many of you women went through the pain of being in a relationship with him.
But we must take responsibility for our own actions, if you googled him and saw all of the comments...WHY would you think he would be different for you? You set yourself up because you refused to accept the truth. You women have created a soul tie because you got in the bed with someone you were not married to, this will ALWAYS lead to heartache. If you will follow the word of God and keep yourself for your husband, you won't have to experience this again.
Most men won't wait for sex? True, they are not the one God sent. Let em go! There is someone who will treat you right, wait and be the man you deserve. Forgive yourself and move on. We have all done dumb things (me included). I have learned from my mistakes, I have great self esteem now. I put the work in. This is why when I met Mr. Haley I discerned his character, and walked away.
You are queens, you don't have to be desperate...wait on God. keep your head up...don't want that crown falling off!
I recently met Kenneth and always felt he had a story to hide so here I am doing my research and stumbled across this. I have never met someone that lies and gets upset when you confront them. He doesn’t know but I won’t be returning his calls. I don’t need this in my life. He’s good though ladies so be careful. He tells you a good story about how his career was taking away from him. He is very controlling and very mentally abusive. Stay away!
Is there anyway you can contact me? I’m trying to gather information on him
@MargretL. when did you meet him? It seems that we all have overlapped. I sent you a private message please respond.
Hi,
I sent you a private message if you could please send a response.
Ladies all I have to have say is that this man is mentally and physically abusive. He prey on women with money. I have moved on because I now know my worth. Im financially stable and I'm exactly where I want to be in my life and career. As far as looks I consider myself above average.
I have a lot going for myself so why did I waste my time on this bumb. What does he really bring to the table except sex.He's broke living from paycheck to paycheck. He doesn't have his life together for his age. This is a man you'll have to take care of for the rest of your life. We are Queens and we must remember that. Im much happier now with no stress and won't be returning to this site because I really don't care anymore. I've moved on. God will deal with him. God bless you all and I hope you find peace. He's not worth it!
Kenneth Haley! Haha
I am truly happy to see that women are banding together to tell on men like this. I dated this idiot way back in early 2000s. He was living in Texas at that time and failed the Texas bar 4 times. He was competing for my attention during the same time another sheister named Tony B (former radio personality) was in my sights. I didn’t heal from the trauma Kenneth put me through so I easily got into another situation that mirrored Kenneth with this other Tony B. Phillips. I took out a restraining order on Kenneth for hiding in the bushes outside my apartment because he wouldn’t leave me alone after I got tired of paying all the bills and allowing his homeless behind to stay with me. I don’t have children so he would brag about having children with me was his dream every since leaving Arizona (where his mother was). Kenneth could make you feel so special that I even allowed him to take naked pics of me and even video a few intimate moments. I know it sounds weird but this was my fiancé and he would say things like “No one will ever love you the way I love you” or “all those other men were playing games with you but I am getting you ready to be a wife”! In the first few months, he would do things that could be explained away as him being “manly” or “take charge”. It would even feel impressive. But slowly and surely, he would chip away at your self-esteem leading you to believe that he was your only true option to security. Yes I spoke to his mother and we went to church at Church of God in Christ. He would recite biblical verses too and even seem to fall on his sword and say “my life was like Matthew”! He will tell you stories about sleeping in cars and having gym memberships in order to wash up before work. As a black woman, I can guarantee you will feel like he is being railroaded as a black man so the natural inclination is to “help” him. He will cry and say he hates to ask for money and even bad mouth
Men who even think to be a “punk” asking for money. Then, he goes in with “I need $200 for an interview with—-“ I spoke to a few women he dealt with after me because they sought me out through BlackPeopleMeet dot com. Same or similar stories. They told me though that they attended sex clubs with him too where he would ask them to participate in threesomes but would phrase it as “we are a team and we should never be afraid or embarrassed about our beautiful bodies showing love to another person”. Kenneth Haley is to be left alone and tracked. If anyone needed an AirTag attached to their car, it is Kenneth. He has been disbarred in Maryland and DC and something about Pennsylvania too. How he became a lawyer is beyond me with his lack of spelling and punctuation. Oh and back in my day, Kenneth carried 2 guns. One gun was a revolver and the other was a black handgun. He said he keeps them because people are always after lawyers but I would be careful. Anyone know where he lives now? And why Charlotte, NC?
