Summary

I have a passion for helping families through difficult times. Prior to my legal career, I worked with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services where I was able to gain the compassion and knowledge to help families navigate through a complex system in times of need. Now, I work hard to guide clients through a different, yet still complex system - family court.

While working for MDHHS I was stationed in an elementary school. The families there became “my families” and I took great pride in the simple task of greeting the students at the door every morning with a big smile and a high-five. I believe it is imperative that every child and family I work with knows their worth.

After completing her undergraduate degree in one of her two loves, music, Kendra went on to attend WMU Thomas M. Cooley Law School and graduated magna cum laude to practice her second love, law.

As an attorney, I work tenaciously on my clients' cases to get the best results possible. I believe that if I work harder and appear in court better prepared than the opposing party, the results will show. I am dedicated and determined to be successful in every case. I work with a great team of family law attorneys at Kraayeveld and our team pursues every case as a unique challenge to get the best results possible.

In my free time, I enjoy spending family time with my husband and our two daughters, and our English Bulldog – Sir Howard the Magnifico – affectionately known as “Howie.”
