Andrew J. Kennedy's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andrew had already been in private practice a few years when I joined him as fellow associate at Houston Harbaugh a decade and a half ago. Not only was he an excellent attorney in his own right, he was also very willing to mentor me and other newly minted associates who had just graduated from law school."
"Andrew and I have worked together on multiple sophisticated litigation matters. He brings tenacity, intellect, and graciousness to all work that he does. I recommend him unqualifiedly."
"Andrew and I have worked together on a series of complex commercial litigation matters. I have always found him to be diligent, thorough and extremely competent. I would not hesitate to recommend him."
