Kennard Law P.C. is now dissolved

Retired Civil Rights and Employee Advocate

We served our communities.  Kennard started this firm from scratch in 2011 after nearly a decade in "BigLaw" at national and international firms, and grew it, at its peak, to nearly 20 lawyers and over 25 staff across 7 offices nationwide.  We were the largest Firm in the State of Texas fighting for civil rights and employee rights and one of the largest in the United States.  

We fought against mega-corporations and governmental bad actors.  We exposed billions in fraud.  We exposed racism, ageism, disability discrimination and sexism. They fought back.  They made it personal.  They created false narratives. We kept going.  Unfazed by the lies and threats.  

But now, after years of fighting the system, we are moving on.  The system is designed to protect the few, punish those that challenge the system, and it's getting worse.  We put in our time.  We salute the next generation of Civil Rights Advocates dedicated to keeping the fight alive, even in the face of personal attacks and retribution by those that manipulate the system for their benefit.  

Alfonso Kennard, Jr. has officially retired from the practice of law, effective September 12, 2025 after nearly 25 years of practicing law.  He is still considered by many to be one of the best labor and civil rights advocates to have practiced law in recent memory.  

Unwavering Conviction

Anyone that fights for others must also be willing to fight for themselves.  We did.  When a Minnesota-based cloud services provider attempted to scam the Firm, we fought back in their backyard. Kennard, who had never even sought to be admitted or licensed in Minnesota was somehow "suspended" by the Bar for two weeks for representing himself--the only lawyer in America suspended for representing himself. Texas said they had to do the same (they didn't).  We fought back. Unwavering conviction for the truth. 

When the Firm's landlord, the New York billionaire Cohen Brothers, refused to repair the ceiling that lead to extensive water damage and mold in the suite--making our employees sick--we sued them. And won.  Big.  8 Million dollar judgment with Kennard as lead counsel. Unwavering conviction for the truth.  

Kennard was hired to represent a whistleblower, the Chief Compliance Officer for the University of Texas Health System in one of the largest  medical fraud cases in history after other lawyers refused because of potential career consequences.  We took the case.  8 Bllion in fraud was discovered. Kennard handed off the case, which still is ongoing, to his friends at Beasley Allen--the largest class action fraud law firm in America after having served as lead counsel before his retirement.  Unwavering conviction for the truth. 

After refusing to dismiss and withdraw the lawsuit against the State of Texas and its affiliates alleging billions in fraud, the Texas Bar first suspended him for representing himself and later attempted to suspend him again for listening to the advice of his team of lawyers in his own lawsuit against  the Texas Bar for harassment and manufacturing claims and soliciting baseless grievances against him.    We still fought back.  Unwavering conviction for the truth. 

When a small group of former clients got together to attempt to tarnish our work online in a coordinated, many years long cyberstalking and Bar-supported retaliation grievance campaign against the Firm, we fought back.  

The system published that it prevailed and the Texas Supreme Court, when it accepted Kennard's retirement, claimed there was enough to support the Bar's version of the claims--even though the claims were never actually adjudicated in a trial court, as Kennard requested and was later denied.   

His lawyers, lead by a 35 year specialist in attorney professional liability representation testified at a Bar hearing that he had never seen such a thing--targeting at this level--and that the claims should never have been processed to begin with.  He called them "ticky tack" and addressed how many were actually solicited by the Bar themselves and had no actual basis.  Unwavering conviction for the truth. 

We did not do for others what we were not willing to do for ourselves even against sometimes insurmountable odds.  We never concerned ourselves with reputation; we concerned ourselves only with our character. We weren't perfect, but you don't get the results we did over the years against the most powerful entities in the world, if we were half-ass.  

They sought to disparage, humiliate, and tarnish. That's what happens when you refuse to kiss the ring when called to do so.  Kennard left with his integrity intact and built a career on helping the little guy and those brave enough to report major fraud.  Standing up for yourself against systemic Goliaths isn't for the weak.  We didn't let them get away with it. Not without a fight. 

We know firsthand--especially now--how the system works behind closed doors. We saw the corruption and retaliation attempts firsthand.  Against our clients.  Against us.  But no matter what, whether the odds were great or small, we always fought passionately for our clients' truth, just as we did for ourselves--because it's the right thing to do.

Unwavering conviction for the truth, fairness, decency, respect, and justice. Kennard fought hard for civil rights in a State that treats them as optional.  He's proud of that. And it was time to move on.  Thanks to all those that fought in the trenches with us and that will continue to do so.
