Nationally Ranked Top Ten Attorney
April 25, 2017

Goodman and Kenneff is proud to announce, for excellence in the field of Criminal Law, attorney Joseph Kenneff was honored by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys with the “Nationally Ranked Top Ten Attorney Award” for 2016.

The National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys is a professional organization championing those who fight for the rights of the accused. By equipping highly-qualified criminal defense attorneys with the most current continuing education opportunities and providing the public with the most accurate, up-to-date listings of top ranked attorneys in their states, the NACDA helps ensure quality representation for individuals facing charges.

Thousands of attorneys are evaluated through the NACDA selection process, which consists of the following:
• Attorneys must first be nominated by a licensed, practicing legal peer or a member of the NACDA’s in-house research team.
• Nominated attorneys are reviewed closely by the NACDA research team to verify they meet membership requirements, including their years in practice, qualifications and memberships, and track record in cases handled.
• Attorneys who pass review by research staff are then sent to a processing committee that chooses a select portion of nominated attorneys for a final selection stage that ensures they stand apart from other lawyers who claim to be the “best” without basis for such claims.

With offices now in Lancaster, PA and Millersville, PA, Attorney Joseph Kenneff continues to provide aggressive legal counsel for the accused in Lancaster County. Along with Criminal Law, Attorney Kenneff continues to specialize in Family Law, providing personal and honest advice to each client.
