There is always media interest in Ken’s work since he is often considered ‘the last resort’ by our clients on difficult or cold cases. Although humbled by and appreciative of that interest, the media spotlight is neither sought out nor a factor in evaluating a case for his potential acceptance. We do not permit any media involvement during an active investigation, aside from press conferences coordinated with jurisdictional law enforcement should they be mutually deemed beneficial to the progress of a case. Also, it is our policy regarding media inquiries to neither confirm nor deny Ken’s current active caseload at any time, in order to preserve the integrity of any ongoing investigations as well as the confidentiality of our clients.
