About Richard
Biography
Mr. Kenny is a graduate of St. John’s School of Law (class of ‘90). He has worked tirelessly on behalf of accident victims throughout his entire career and has specialized in the representation of firefighters injured in the line of duty. He is a proud member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the New York State Bar Association, the American Association of Justice, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum® and the Legends Society of Top Lawyers in the United States. Mr. Kenny, however, is most proud of the pro bono work his office did on behalf of families and individuals affected by the September 11th tragedy where they represented multiple victims.
The majority of Mr. Kenny’s time is spent in court on behalf of his severely injured clients. Over the course of his career, he has tried to verdict over a hundred cases, winning tens of millions of dollars in compensation on their behalf. He currently has the highest sustained verdict in the history of the Second Department on a non-medical malpractice negligence case, wherein he successfully represented a young woman who was catastrophically injured in a one car accident that was proven, during the course of a three week trial, to have occurred as a result of improper highway design. That case resulted in a sustained verdict in excess of $13,000,. He was also co-counsel on a well-documented tragedy involving the death of three firefighters which resulted in a verdict in excess of $11,000,.
