After law school, Kevin joined Anderson and Yamada, P.C. in Portland where he practiced transportation law representing trucking companies and freight brokers for twelve years. As a transportation lawyer he was nationally recognized as a leading cargo claim litigator, prosecuting and defending numerous Carmack Amendment claims.

In 2022 Kevin joined Cornerstone Law Group as a criminal defense attorney. Having interned with the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender for two years during law school, he was excited to return to helping people navigate the criminal justice system.
Having found his legal niche in criminal defense, Kevin establed Prodigal Law in January of 2024. An attentive listener, Kevin works closely with his clients to ensure their cases are resolved in a manner that places them in the best position for success moving forward.
