I worked with Ken for 22 years, from April 1988 through April 2010. When we met, we were young associates beginning our careers at Schopf & Weiss. Over the decades we teamed up on scores of cases across the country. Ken was instrumental in helping to build Schopf & Weiss LLP into a respected and successful litigation boutique. Many of our attorneys credit him for bringing them to our firm. Having earned our colleagues’ confidence, he ably served as Managing Partner of Schopf & Weiss LLP. Ken has founded his own firm, but brings with him my respect, trust, and deep thanks. He is dedicated to his clients, hard working, and bright – in sum, an excellent attorney.
