Keith Edward Kendall

Atty Kendall represented me in civil service case when he was in private practice several years ago. We had won that case. Thinking past performance is an indicator of future performance, I retained atty Kendall another civil service case when he affiliated with the firm Scaringi and Scaringi. The ca...se involved a PA state employer manipulating civil service lists to hire friends, relatives and for EEO and denying employment to veterans. It involved interpretation of a statute. When I consulted with Atty Kendall, he said it was a clear violation of the civil service act. After spending $6,000 in attorney fees, I lost the case due to Atty. Kendall interpretation of the law. I considered taking the case to appellate court and consulted with a former attorney. After he reviewed the statute and case law, he said there was no way would have won. Before I lost the case with Atty. Kendall, I recommended him to a friend who another civil service issue. The case went to appellate court and Atty Kendall lost that case as well. Either I was lucky in my first case with Atty. Kendall or because he is now an Atty with a firm, he only cares about billable hours and not whether or not the case has any chance of succeeding. I contacted the Bar about being deceived and they did nothing. I would not recommend Atty Kendall for cases involving Civil Service law.
