Adam Kenny, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 29, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Approximately seven or eight years ago, Kevin and I were opposing counsel on a rather procedurally-convoluted personal injury action. He did yeoman's work on behalf of his client - who came to him only upon discovering that her original attorney had allowed her Complaint to be dismissed due to his failure to take any action on her behalf. Kevin resuscitated the matter for her and got it restored to the active trial calendar. We spent close to ten days on trial in Essex County and ended up with a fair, just verdict, which his client never would have realized but for his tireless efforts on her behalf. I am pleased to say that while we did not know one another prior to being adversaries in that matter, we have remained friends in the years since. Kevin is an excellent attorney and an even better person - a credit to the practice of law.
