About Kenneth
Biography
I was born in the State of New York, but grew up in Northeast Tennessee. I graduated from Sullivan East High School and joined the United States Marine Corps where I served with distinction and after receiving an honorable discharge in 1998 I returned home to pursue my education. I am a graduate of Northeast State Technical Community College and East Tennessee State University and hold an Associate Degree in General Studies and a Baccalaureate of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Political Science. In 2004 I was admitted to the Appalachian School of Law where I received multiple awards in legal writing, I was on the dean’s list, and I graduated in the top 25% of my class.
After serving the public in the Office of the Public Defender for Sullivan county and solo practice I joined The Senter Law Firm, pc, in 2015 as an associate attorney. I practice Construction law, Personal Injury, Divorce, Child Custody, Adoption, Guardian Ad Litem, Criminal Law, and Juvenile Law, and I am licensed in Tennessee and Virginia as well as the Federal Courts in Tennessee and Virginia.
