For over half a century, John Kenney has excelled as a litigator, including trying complicated criminal and civil fraud matters. He continues to do so. Both his attention to detail and ability to shape the narrative for his clients' benefit are equaled by few and excelled by none. I have worked closely with John on trials, appeals and investigations. Each experience was a master class in litigation.

His sterling decade-long federal prosecutorial career ended with the affirming on appeal the convictions he had gained of Franklin National Bank's major shareholder, chairman, president and others in two long jury trials. Franklin had been the largest bank failure in U.S. history. These cases had novel international discovery issues, now more common. They were not without drama. One defendant had arranged for the murder of a witness in Italy and had taken out a contract on John's life, believing that in his case prosecutors were not fungible.
