Biography

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.

Legal Answers
Q. If I was arrested on a 530.5 what will happen
A: It depends if the 530.5 charge was a felony or a misdemeanor and whether or not you have any prior convictions. It also depends what county and courthouse your case is filed in since the offers from the prosecutors vary from county to county. You should contact an attorney in the county your arrest occurred and he or she would be able to answer your question with more specifics.
Q. How long does a store owner have to report a theft
A: If the amount of the property that was taken is less than $950, it would be considered a misdemeanor, which carries a 1 year statute of limitations from the date that it occurred or when the store owner discovered the theft. If it's over $950, that would be a felony and the statute of limitations would be 3 years.
Q. jury elements for California adw with 3strikes law
A: In order to look up the specific jury instructions that apply to the case, you need to have the exact penal code sections that are charged. Calcrim is the source for all criminal jury instructions.
