Whether you or your business are under investigation or defending a civil or criminal case in court, our team is committed to providing strategic defense representation to obtain the best results.
Having been practicing law since 1994, I enjoy zealously advocating for my clients and being their voice in the courtroom.
I have tried over 100 trials to verdict in state and federal courts and believe everyone deserves their day in court.
Prior to starting Kenney Legal Defense in 2012, I was a Senior Deputy Public Defender in Orange County, California, where I gained invaluable jury trial experience. In 2018 I became a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and now specialize in handling all types of White Collar Crime cases in civil and criminal courts.
Whether you are looking for an attorney to negotiate the best possible resolution for your case, my team and I are here to help.
