Knowing this, Kenia always puts the clients and their families first, developing strong personal relationships. Kenia can work independently, as she knows what needs to get done, and is proactive in ensuring her cases move to completion quickly and efficiently. Having spent much time at trial sitting side by side with the injured construction worker, Kenia also is well aware of how the work she does in the office translates into the courtroom.
