For more than 50 years, Kenner has been a force as a defense attorney. His knowledge of the law and cross-examination style has been to the chagrin of the government in many federal cases, often leading to his clients’ acquittals. In one famous case, Kenner was able to secure acquittals for two members of the Hells Angels in a South Dakota murder trial (via The Lawyers of Distinction). In a federal operation nicknamed Operation Polar Cap, Kenner managed to get a money laundering charge against his client dismissed.

Kenner’s efforts and skills have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated by his clients. Recently, Kenner was honored on the occasion of his 80th birthday by a man who owed his freedom to the famed lawyer’s courtroom skills. Calvin Broadus and his bodyguard were arrested and charged with murder and assault in 1993 following the shooting of a gang member in a Los Angeles park (per The Washington Post). Kenner took the case to trial and emerged victorious as the jury came back with a verdict of not guilty. Broadus, more commonly known as Snoop Dogg, was at the party that was honoring the man who helped secure his innocence 30 years ago. The Blast reports that the November 2021 party, held at an upscale Los Angeles restaurant, peaked when Snoop Dogg and fellow hip hop artist Scott Storch (also a client of Kenner’s) performed for the Kenner and his crowd of family and friends.
