This year marks a significant milestone for KKC Law Firm, previously known as Kahan, Kerensky, and Capossela, as it celebrates its 60th anniversary.
Founded in 1964, the firm has grown from its humble beginnings in Vernon into a pillar of the community, providing comprehensive legal services across twelve practice areas. As KKC Law steps into a new chapter, it continues to uphold its legacy of excellence, community involvement, and client-focused service.
KKC Law’s history is a testament to its enduring commitment to the local communities. The firm has maintained its headquarters in Vernon for six decades, founded by Robert Kahan, Sol Kerensky, and Joseph Capossela. Over the years, KKC has expanded its reach and breadth of services while remaining true to its founding values.
“The firm’s management views our legacy as a privilege and a responsibility," says Managing Partner Michael Kopsick. "It is a privilege that the firm’s partners had a commitment to excellence and real integrity; it is our responsibility to instill those qualities in our current and future staff.”
With twelve distinct practice areas, KKC Law offers a broad spectrum of legal services, ensuring clients receive high-quality support no matter their needs.
"We have a lot of variety in our practices, from real estate closings to estate planning and litigation," explains Partner Allison Poirier. This diversity makes KKC a full-service firm for many clients who often return for different services and are confident in the consistent level of excellence.
While firmly rooted in Vernon, KKC Law extends its reach to neighboring communities like West Hartford and Glastonbury.
"My family and I have put down roots in West Hartford," says Partner Chris Bowen. "We own our home and raise our children here. We spend our free time shopping and dining in West Hartford Center, Elmwood, and along the Park Road corridor. Naturally, this has led some of my West Hartford business friends and neighbors to call on KKC when they need an attorney. In recognition, KKC has recently joined the West Hartford Chamber of Commerce.”
KKC's commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. The firm has received numerous accolades, including the Hartford Courant's Best of Category awards for Best Law Firm overall, Best Family Law, Best Corporate Law, Best Personal Injury Lawyer, and Best Elder Law. These awards, voted by readers, underscore KKC's client-first approach and high-quality service. Bowen concluded, “KKC offers sophisticated legal services at a fair price, which is attractive to everyone whether you are from Tolland, Manchester, Fairfield County, or West Hartford.”
In conjunction with their 60th anniversary, the firm unveiled a new website and updated logo in September. This rebranding effort also includes a formal name change from "Kahan, Kerensky, and Caposella" to simply "KKC Law." The refreshed look aligns with modern trends while maintaining the firm's storied legacy.
As KKC celebrates this significant milestone, it remains committed to its core values of community service and legal excellence. Kopsick reflected, “Given the strength of the firm’s foundation, KKC expects to provide quality legal service to its clients and this community for generations to come.” "We've been able to serve the community for 60 years," Poirier added, "and we hope to continue doing so for the next 60."
