Bio: Kennedy is a social-justice lawyer originally from Louisville, Kentucky. Now based in Oakland, California, he practices police-misconduct law out of a repurposed solar-powered shipping container. Before starting Helm Law Office, PC, Kennedy worked as an associate attorney at Haddad & Sherwin, LLP for nearly four years. There, he litigated almost exclusively police and jail misconduct cases, some involving death and serious physical injury, as part of a team that won settlements and jury trials resulting in police-department and jail reforms and millions of dollars for victims and survivors. Before law school, Kennedy organized workers for two locals of the Service Employees International Union. He believes in fighting powerful interests on behalf of ordinary people. After college, he lived in Spain, and he speaks fluent Spanish. A sixth-generation lawyer, Kennedy aspires to develop the legal acumen of his 3x great-grandfather Benjamin Hardin (1784-1852), a.k.a. “Old Kitchen Knife,” a trial lawyer who was “like a kitchen-knife when whetted on brick[;] he cuts roughly, but cuts deep.” CLERKSHIP • Hon.
