Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:2.8
Comments:
It appeared this judge had pre-decided this lawsuit from the very beginning of the litigation. His bias was obvious.

I've done several trials in front of Judge Kenny and he is personable. Easy to get along with and I would not hesitate to try a sex case in front of him. He will tell you that he had a child that was molested and will make your client agree on the record that this is not an issue or he will recuse himself. I think he is fair, especially in sex cases so he doesn't get reversed by the appellate court. But overall a good trial experience.

I have tried a couple of cases in front of Judge Kenney and found it to be a pleasure. He is pleasant to everyone and will let you try your case. He is not strong on the law, but he will rule correctly if you show him the law.

This judge will rule in favor of the prosecution when he shouldn't. He is not the sharpest on the law. He has a tendency toward arrogance.
