Attorney Spotlight
Managing Partner Jon Pinney
“We are not your typical law firm. Yes, we provide exceptional legal services; but we take a highly personalized approach and take our role as business partners, not just attorneys, seriously. And we go above and beyond by providing our clients with innovative services you won’t find at other firms.”
Of Counsel Steve Bersticker
“My father ran a Fortune 500 company, and I learned from his example of being calm and collected in challenging situations. I bring a cool head to my work, because that’s the most constructive way to solve problems and achieve success for our clients.”Learn More About Steve
Anne Corrigan
“I’m calm in a crisis, an effective negotiator and a quick study. I’m confident as lead counsel in complex transactions, and I’m not afraid to work long and hard to close the deal.”
Partner Jon Groza
“I strive to develop long-term relationships with clients, which affords a deep understanding of their businesses and goals. This enables me to provide value beyond the scope of legal services.”
Chair, Securities Christopher Hubbert
“You’re getting small-firm attentiveness with large firm experience at KJK. We partner with our clients to help them achieve their goals.”
Janet Stewart Scalley
“Ultimately, my end goal is never to craft just any particular outcome for a client—it’s to craft an outcome that makes sense and works for that specific client. I recognize and appreciate that not every solution is created equally and aim to have a holistic understanding of a client’s priorities, needs and desires.”
Brett Krantz
“Helping a client get to a result that is the most beneficial and practical is what we constantly strive for.”
Partner Steve Marrer
“We have a lot of long-term relationships with our clients at KJK. I have one client whom I’ve served for nearly 30 years. Clients come to us; they don’t tend to go away.”
Susan Scheutzow
“Whenever possible I don’t tell clients that the law prohibits them from doing something, but help them reach their goals within the confines of the law.”
Matt Viola
“KJK has big-firm ability with a smaller firm feel. When you are represented by a big firm, you can get lost a bit, working with a different person every day. Here, you are one-on-one with your attorney.”
