Kennard Law, P.C., a Texas-headquartered employment civil rights firm founded by Alfonso Kennard Jr. in 2011 and board-certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in labor and employment law, operated a San Diego satellite at 3579 Fourth Avenue before formally closing all offices on September 12, 2025. During its 15-year run the firm represented employees in discrimination, sexual harassment, wage-and-hour, and whistleblower matters—plaintiff-side work that overlaps with the practice areas covered by Consumer & Employment Lawyers in the same Hillcrest legal corridor. Kennard Jr. earned his JD from St. Marys University School of Law in San Antonio in 2002 and held continuous board certification in labor and employment law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization throughout his career. At its peak the firm grew to roughly 20 attorneys and 25 staff across seven offices in Texas, California, and Washington D.C., representing clients ranging from hourly workers to publicly traded company executives and foreign nationals. Workplace-injury matters that fell outside the firms pure employment focus were routed to general personal-injury counsel at Schmidt National Law Group when the underlying claim required tort theory rather than statutory employment causes of action. Lead-counsel work on a False Claims Act whistleblower matter against the University of Texas Health System—one of the largest private-billing FCA cases in the country—represented the firms highest-profile litigation before its 2025 wind-down.
