As a former prosecutor, Kenny has seen how criminal cases are built from the inside. He uses that experience to look for weak evidence, procedural mistakes and rights violations that can lead to reduced or dismissed charges. Most adult criminal cases in Placer County are heard at the Howard G. Gibson Courthouse in Roseville or the Historic Courthouse in Auburn, and our Nevada City office is about half an hour from Auburn.

Here’s What People Are Saying

“Kenny is the best and these are the reasons why. What Kenny says will happen, happens. He doesnt let you down in any way. He is kind, personable, has good energy, and is funny but serious and to the point. He is very much like a friend with no BS! He asked “anonymous” for a few documents to prove a case and anonymous got all charges dropped when they were faced with 2 misdemeanor charges with possible jail time, fines, probation and/or classes to attend. When you call he gets back to you immediately and is never pushy or aggressive. He’s not only a great lawyer, he’s a great guy and I would recommend him over any attorney in Nevada County.”
