Kenneth Ortner
Kenneth was my attorney in 2013-2014 and he went above and beyond as my attorney. He truly cared about my well-being and fought for me to go to treatment after jail. One of the best lawyers around for sure. He truly cares about his clients!

Kenneth Nelson Ortner's Lawyer Endorsements
"A fierce advocate who is not afraid to go to trial, Ken always fights to get the best results for his clients. As a chief prosecutor, I faced Ken on the other side of the table a multitude of times. Ken possesses a keen ability to bottom-line a case and force the prosecutor to face the undeniable weaknesses in his/her own case. This ultimately forces the prosecutor to give Ken’s clients the best deal possible. If you don’t choose me to represent you, Ken is a fantastic choice;) Seriously, this guy is good."
"I first met Kenneth at a Trial Lawyer's College conference. First of all, any attorney who regularly attends those conferences are top notch. Kenneth is brilliant, cares about his clients, hard working. I absolutely endorse Kenneth Ortner."
"Ken is the living definition of "zealous advocacy." His commitment and dedication to his clients should be a model and inspiration to other attorneys. Ken is well respected in the legal community and it is definitely my honor to highly endorse this lawyer."
