Biography
As the fourth child in a family of five, no one understands better than Kenneth that family life is not always easy. One of his earliest memories is of his older brothers attempting to glue him to a seat by taking elaborate measures to lure him into their carefully prepared chair. Yet, those same brothers were the first to jump in to protect Kenneth if ever anyone else threatened his well-being. Kenneth recognizes that family relationships can be "sticky" at times, but he also understands the value and importance of family. Kenneth grew up on a small ranch in rural northern California that has been in his family for several generations. He worked alongside his parents and siblings on the ranch and in their family business, where he learned not only life skills but also the importance of family relationships. Kenneth came to understand firsthand that life is not always easy for families Whether financial, emotional, or otherwise, families are at times faced with concerns and need somewhere to turn for guidance and assistance. Kenneth realized at an early age that one benefit of being part of a big family is that there is always someone willing to go to bat for you when times are tough. While this is comforting, some situations require expertise or assistance from outside the family.
Throughout Kenneth's childhood, his parents instilled in him an interest in being attentive to the needs of others. His parents were especially involved in the local community volunteering with civic service projects and outreach programs sponsored by their church. This influence prompted Kenneth to volunteer during law school as a summer intern at the Siskiyou County Public Defender's Office in his California hometown. Kenneth graduated, cum laude, in 2013 from Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law and knew without a doubt he belonged in a Family Law practice. Continuing with the tradition of service, Kenneth's goal is to make legal services for families accessible and affordable. He understands the importance of core values and is committed to maintaining and protecting the integrity of families by finding the best alternatives and most cost-effective means of handling each client's unique situation. Just as Kenneth has worked beside his own family for more than three decades, he will stand beside his clients and work to provide representation and legal assistance on the issues mattering most to them and their families.
