Kenney & Conley Kenney & Conley

About Us

For individuals and families facing the aftermath of a serious injury, choosing the right law firm can make a meaningful difference. At Kenney & Conley, we have spent decades helping injured clients across Braintree and the South Shore pursue justice and fair compensation for injuries resulting from negligence. People we meet have often gotten up in the morning thinking they are going to have a normal day and instead experience something catastrophic happening to them or their loved ones, and we never lose sight of the human impact of that moment.

Founded in 1985 by Paul Kenny and J. Michael Conley, our firm focuses exclusively on personal injury litigation. Kenny and Conley is a 100% plaintiff's personal injury firm. That's what we do, and that's all we do. We represent individuals who have suffered serious harm in incidents such as construction accidents, car and truck collisions, catastrophic injury events, and wrongful death cases. 

These matters often involve complex legal issues, extensive evidence, and significant financial stakes. Our role is to represent our clients through the legal process while building comprehensive cases designed to secure the compensation they need to restore their lives, without overlooking the humanity and personal strain of being a litigant in these kinds of cases. 

A Firm Built on Experience & Preparation

From the moment we begin working on a case, our objective is clear: to maximize the value of our client’s personal injury claim. Achieving this goal requires more than filing paperwork or negotiating with insurance companies. It requires detailed preparation, careful legal analysis, and a willingness to pursue every available avenue to strengthen the case.

Our attorneys conduct intensive investigation and research before initiating a lawsuit. By developing the case early and thoroughly, we position ourselves for stronger negotiations with insurance companies or litigation in civil court. This preparation also allows us to apply steady pressure on opposing parties throughout the legal process.

Our team uses a collaborative approach to every file. Each case is assigned an attorney and an assistant, and we work together from the start of the claim through resolution, whether that is a settlement or a trial in court. Collaboration matters because each attorney has encountered different situations and scenarios over the course of their career, and drawing on that range of experience helps us evaluate different directions and approaches for a case.

Because of our firm’s long history of success, we can dedicate significant resources to every case we handle. Our team invests the time, attention, and legal strategy necessary to pursue optimal results for injured clients and their families.

We also prioritize consistent, open communication with the people we represent. For our clients, this is often their only case, even though we may be handling many. We welcome calls, texts, and emails, and we work to keep clients informed of every significant development as their case moves forward. From onboarding through final resolution, we want clients to feel safe, supported, and confident that they are in good hands and well protected. We foster a family atmosphere within our team and with our clients so they know they are valued, treated like people who have been through something awful, and that we have their back as we work to pursue the best possible result in their case.

Understanding the Legal Process

Answers to Common Injury Claim Questions
  • Yes. Because of the complex nature of most of the cases we handle, we believe that it is important to provide transparency and advise on the risks and potential outcomes of a trial. The ultimate decision whether to settle a case belongs to our client.

  • Our first priority is to listen to our clients describe what happened in their own words. Throughout the case, we prioritize direct communication with our clients. Typically, a case is staffed by two lawyers and a dedicated legal assistant. Doing so allows us to provide consistent care for our clients.

  • Indeed. Our firm is known for shaping Massachusetts law in this practice area. Examples include securing the ability of police and firefighters to sue negligent third parties by defeating the so-called Firefighter’s Rule, securing the Rescue Doctrine so that rescuers can bring claims against those who negligently create danger, and helping eliminate the Natural Accumulation Rule, which had limited property owners’ responsibility to protect visitors from snow and ice-related injuries.
