Samuel Kane

Samuel Kane is known for his precision in the courtroom and his relentless dedication to clients. After earning his Juris Doctor degree with honors from the University of Miami School of Law-graduating magna cum laude and receiving the prestigious Order of the Coif distinction-he clerked for District Judge Robert C. Brack in the federal court in Las Cruces, New Mexico. That experience, seeing cases from a judge’s perspective, shaped the strategic approach he brings to every case. That, plus his years contracting with the Las Cruces public defender’s office handling trials every month, honed his ability to think quickly and advocate effectively in high-pressure situations. In 2004, Samuel founded the Law Offices of Samuel Kane. Since then he has tried more than 1,000 bench and jury cases, and found his passion helping those with serious personal injury matters. Sam is also a licensed commercial pilot, instrument rated and dual-engine rated-a pursuit that mirrors the discipline, focus, and attention to detail he brings to his legal practice. It also makes him very familiar with aviation accidents and the details they involve. When he’s not in the courtroom or in the air, Samuel enjoys staying active and giving back to the Las Cruces community. His work is guided by one clear priority: securing justice for his clients, no matter how complex the fight.

Thomas G. Kemmy

Tom grew up in San Antonio. He and his wife Ginger have been married for 43 years and have eight children and six (soon to be seven) grandchildren. Five of their sons and two daughters-in-law are attorneys. The practice of law is a passion that runs deep in their family. Tom built the Kemmy Law Firm for people who don’t want to feel like just another client. He combines compassion, skill, and nearly 40 years of trial experience to deliver transformative results for ordinary people and small business owners when they’ve been injured or harmed by large corporations. A successful and experienced trial attorney, Tom believes in his clients and persuades insurance representatives and juries alike.He has won large verdicts and settlement in a wide range of cases involving catastrophic and fatal injuries, including those caused by oil field activity, truck wrecks, medical negligence and other personal injury. Clients praise his ability to resolve situations “quickly, efficiently and effectively,” and in a way that makes them feel heard, comfortable, and part of the team. In 1986, Tom started practicing law in San Antonio, and worked for a premier insurance defense law firm. During his time on the defense side of litigation, he saw first-hand how large corporations protected their own interests. After three and a half years of defense practice, Tom and Ginger moved their family to Africa to serve as lay missionaries for three years in a remote area in Mongu Zambia. While in Zambia, Tom worked with farmers and villagers supporting their efforts to sustain their families in sometimes harsh environments. Ginger, a registered nurse, worked with women and malnourished children and provided medical and nutritional support. Upon returning from Zambia three years later, Tom opened a single-lawyer office in San Antonio, Texas and has been representing people with personal injuries, work-related accidents, medical malpractice, and business-related losses for more than 40 years. He credits the significant verdicts and settlements that he’s achieved to his passion for helping people who would otherwise lack the resources to hold the rich and powerful accountable. Over the past 10 years, Kemmy Law Firm has expanded to include five of Tom's sons and one of his daughter-in-laws; each of whom are capable trial lawyers, devoted to providing excellent trial work for their clients. With offices now in San Antonio and Odessa, Texas and Hobbs, New Mexico, the Kemmys represent clients throughout Texas, New Mexico, and across the country. Recently, Tom was selected by his peers to receive the prestigious Pat Maloney, Sr. Courage Award from the San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association (SATLA). Pat Maloney, Sr. (1924-2005) is and will always remain a legendary trial lawyer whose fierce advocacy was recognized across the state and throughout the United States. He served as a mentor to many men and women over his career, and Tom was privileged to have received his mentorship. Tom prides himself on client service and working tirelessly for amazing results. He is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law and was named a Super Lawyer 2010-2011, 2015-2024. He is also a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates.
