Upon completing his clerkship, Ted began a tenure with the Lancaster County District Attorney's office. Handling and trying hundreds of cases while in the DA's office, ranging from simple misdemeanors to complex felonies, prepared him to be an effective advocate for those who have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence. He currently handles cases involving motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, premise liability, insurance bad-faith, products liability, medical negligence, and nursing home abuse.
After leaving the DA's Office, Ted became a senior associate with a prestigious Philadelphia law firm, where he worked on a variety of high-profile and complex cases, including litigation before the United States Supreme Court.

While there, he oversaw and took to trial a variety of cases, including representing victims of medical negligence, nursing home negligence, products liability, auto and truck accidents, premises liability and insurance company bad faith.
Looking to maximize the impact he can make helping the victims of another's negligence, Ted has joined Katherman, Briggs & Greenberg. He champions the causes of individuals hurt by another's irresponsible and unsafe conduct.

"I have worked with Edward "Ted" Kennett on many cases and have seen first hand the extensive knowledge and experience he has in the personal injury/wrongful death practice area.

I wholeheartedly endorse Ted for these services."
