John J. Kennedy, Jr. is the founding partner of Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, LLC. In 1988, John formed Kennedy & Johnson, along with David Johnson. John is an accomplished trial attorney, spending most of his 35 years practicing in Connecticut, representing injured clients before juries.

After more than three decades practicing law, John still finds trying cases to juries in automobile accident, premises liability, medical malpractice and product liability cases his passion.

He is also a member of ABOTA and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

John believes in the importance of a lawyer's knowledge of the law in effective representation of clients. Therefore, John has often served as a lecturer to his peers at continuing legal education programs through the Connecticut Bar Association, the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association and the New Haven County Bar Association.

John is admitted to practice at the United States District Court, District of Connecticut, the eastern, southern and northern districts of New York and the United States Claims Court as well as all the state courts in Connecticut. He currently serves as co-chair of the Continuing Legal Education Committee of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association.
