Suberp lawyer, that Ken.

I have had the pleasure of hiring Ken to represent my corporation on many occasions. Ken has defended us in the courtroom often, and with great success. I can trust Ken's advice and business practices and he is a very valuable asset. Thanks for the advocacy, Ken.

Outstanding Attorney!

I work for a Fortune 100 corporation that has had the privilege of working with Ken in the area of product litigation. I have worked with Ken on numerous matters over the last 7 years and know he is one of the rare examples of an attorney that brings the right mix of experience, knowledge, ethics, l...eadership and demeanor to the table. Ken has a unique ability to understand complex technical issues and has a proven track record of delivering outstanding results.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
