I endorse this lawyer because I have known her since she started practicing and I watched her develop into a top-notch lawyer. She took a break to dedicate herself to raising her beautiful young children (we all missed her) and she returned without missing a beat . She's back in the ring swinging with the same dedication she shows to everything she believes in. Integrity IS Kenlynn. Fiercely loyal to her clients and relentless to the prosecution, all accomplished with the grace of a beauty queen and the polite professionalism of the classy attorney she is. I am honored to call her a friend.
