Patrick W. Kenny

Mr. Kenny practices with a results-oriented approach for his clients and with a keen eye on key performance indicators for the insurance carriers he services. He prides himself in being able to obtain excellent results within a reasonable time so that his clients do not bear the burden of litigation and their insurance carriers can close their claims as quickly as possible. His ultimate goal in each case is to reduce the amount spent by his clients and their insurance carriers while working hand-in-hand with the client to achieve the best result possible. To Mr. Kenny, communication with the client and its insurance carrier throughout each stage of the litigation is paramount to his approach. Oftentimes, this approach will lead to a favorable risk transfer for his clients, which is one of the first things Mr. Kenny looks for in each new matter he is assigned.

He is known by his colleagues in the industry as someone who is going to dig in and vigorously defend both damages and liability in each case.
