    Kenneth was able to step in on very short notice (a few hours) to represent the interests of our neighborhood association in a domestic violence case. We were very happy with the outcome and with the actions taken to protect our owners.

    Kenneth Kahn's reputation for effective criminal defense and counseling is well-earned. I've seen him use demonstrative evidence to great effect.

    Ken is a smart, diligent attorney who is not afraid to take cases to trial. Unlike some criminal defense attorneys, he will not pressure you into taking a plea deal just so he can avoid the courtroom. I highly recommend him.
