This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Thoughtful, driven, and down-to-earth

Kenny is the kind of young lawyer I wish I had been when I was his age. He's compassionate and thoughtful, and his problem-solving skills are exceptional. But Kenny is no pushover. He's motivated and resourceful, so any opponent who encounters him has their work cut out. Kenny is like David with a... slingshot, and the bigger the opponent the harder they'll fall.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
