Kenneth Bryan

How do I convince everyone that this could have been avoided? What facts do I need to prove the full extent of the harm?  What arguments do I need to be prepared to defend against? What was fair, and how do I show it?

These were important questions to Kenneth Bryan during a middle school mock legal trial. As he eagerly prepared his case, Kenneth realized that he wanted to pursue a career as a lawyer.

“I really enjoyed the challenge of researching the facts, creating arguments to convince my classmates, and even preparing arguments against what I thought some of my classmates would be arguing,” Kenneth said.

He knew he had his work cut out for him. But work is nothing new to Kenneth.

“My father is a great role model. He instilled a solid work ethic that I carry with me at my core: take pride in whatever you do, work hard at it, and be the best you can be every day.”

Kenneth did indeed take these values to heart, double majoring in History and Geography at the University of South Carolina Honors College, where he excelled, graduating with honors while playing water polo and working several jobs on and off campus. 

Subsequently, Kenneth enrolled at the University of North Carolina School of Law, Chapel Hill, where he received his J.D. 

Before joining the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm in 2013, Kenneth was selected to extern for Judge Linda Stephens at the North Carolina Court of Appeals. 

While his academic accomplishments and extraordinary work ethic are no small feat, Kenneth is most known for his dedication and compassion for our firm’s clients. 

He’s also recognized among firm colleagues as the “go to” source for information. On any given day, you might see Kenneth navigating multiple computer monitors in his well-known diligence to uncover, analyze, and dissect that hidden gem of evidence (and it’s almost always there) that could potentially make the biggest impact on a client’s case and their lives. 

“I love to solve problems, dig to the root of issues, and help other people. I believe that, as an attorney, I have an ability and responsibility to make a lasting impact. When I go home every night, I want to be able to say I worked hard to make a difference in someone’s life and that I did my very best to make sure they were treated fairly.” 

But don’t think Kenneth is all work and no play. With two youngsters at home, he finally has an audience for all his punny, dad-like humor. When he’s not busy chasing after them, he enjoys hiking along NC’s scenic trails. 

“Hiking gives me time to reflect and think in solitude. It’s where I sometimes come up with my best ideas and arguments,” Kenneth said.
