Ken Bernard

With 37 years of experience, Ken Bernard remains passionate about every client, regardless of the size of the case. He has been involved in numerous successful million and multi-million dollar personal injury resolutions, but still rolls up his sleeves and engages each client’s case individually. Ken Bernard grew up in Douglas County, graduated from the University of Georgia and the University of Georgia School of Law, and voluntarily served his country with distinction in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Judge Advocate General (JAG), where he attained the rank of Captain during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. At the University of Georgia, Ken would become close friends with his future law partner, John Sherrod. They shared a vision not only of futures in law but in creating their own law firm to help injury victims and their families. During Ken’s service in the Corps, he and John Sherrod remained close and talked frequently about the vision they had as undergrads to create a law firm. When he left active duty in 1992 and returned to Georgia, Ken made the decision to continue to serve his community by providing first class representation to injured people. “I was looking out the glass of one of the tallest buildings in Atlanta,” he recalls, “and I said to myself, ‘This really isn’t me.’ “That’s when I committed to come home to West Georgia and take a stand for people that needed a lawyer; I cared about their needs and the needs of their families.”
