“I hope this is a warning to everyone–watch what you put in your body.” – Dennis Kennelly
Kennelly’s main topic for the day surrounds immigration law, and he speaks with immigration lawyer David Fullmer to dive into the current state of immigration in the United States, including information about work visas and more.
H-1b Visa — The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(17)(H). It allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.
Dennis Kennelly has been practicing employment law for over 40 years in California. In his career he has represented both companies and individuals in a wide range of Employment Law issues. These range from gender and race discrimination to whistle-blowing and retaliation.
Mr. Kennelly’s style is creative. The vast majority of employment cases do not go all the way to a jury verdict. As such the art is setting the case in a position to settle at the terms most favorable to his clients. Mr. Kennelly’s ability to weave out of the box solutions into settlements has often created results that no one considered at the outset.
In his representation of Employees, Mr. Kennelly’s approach is pro-active. He encourages clients to involve him in problems early on so that he can guide them to solutions that minimize the likelihood of claims arising after the fact. Mr. Kennelly’s employer clients have never been sued after following his counsel.
