Stohler is joining Kevin Kennedy Associates with specialties in managing business relationships, developing marketing strategies, strategic planning and customer services training. Her role will be to expand the client base for the firm, whose Expert Consultants average a minimum of 25 years of experience and are perfectly suited to address challenges in expert witness testimony, failure analysis, forensic investigatio, patent infringement, and manufacturing.

“Most people don’t realize that Indiana has one of the most trusted sources of experts with Kevin Kennedy Associates.  I’m delighted to be joining the firm and look forward to putting my law and business experience to work,” said Stohler, who will work from the northside Indianapolis headquarters of Kevin Kennedy Associates.

The Expert’s Expert

Dr. Kevin Kennedy founded the firm with little more than a stack of stationery and a telephone in the early 1990’s, and the consulting firm had grown to include access to more than 600 expert consultants by the time of his untimely death in 2008.

“Kevin was a true innovator. As a successful scientist and engineer, he understood the challenges that professionals in the scientific world face. And as a creative thinker, he conceived a new way to respond to those needs – a worldwide network of experts that could respond quickly and efficiently to any issue, at any time,” said Chief Executive Officer Sharon Kennedy, who leads the Indianapolis-based organization from the Boston area.

“Kevin’s tenacity and leadership was an example to all of us involved with his company. We are inspired to keep growing and innovating, even though he is no longer here to enjoy the fruits of that labor. Looking to the future, we believe our team is now in place to build on Kevin’s legacy and fully establish Kevin Kennedy Associates as the ‘expert’s expert.’ We’ve helped clients all over the globe to manage difficult situations, providing a broad array of knowledgeable consultants with decades of experience in their respective industries,” said Dr. Randy Clarksean, President of Kevin Kennedy Associates.

“At Kevin Kennedy Associates, we’ve revolutionized the consulting business by streamlining the way our clients interact with experts. We understand that when you have access to the expertise you need – the moment you need it – you’ll be more able to solve problems, save money, and safeguard your reputation. The process begins the moment you call us. Through an initial discussion, we’ll make an assessment of your needs. Then, within minutes, we’ll connect you with one or more of our 600-plus experts worldwide. But that’s only the beginning of the process. From there, we’ll continue to build a team that’s uniquely equipped to address your needs,” said Clarksean.
