HOWARD TALENFELD
CO-BUSINESS UNIT LEADER & PARTNER, JUSTICE FOR KIDS DIVISION, KELLEY KRONENBERG, FORT LAUDERDALE
Talenfeld says he “didn’t truly enjoy being a lawyer” until he started representing children and disabled people. The Justice for Kids practice is dedicated to providing legal services to protect abused, disabled and injured children in foster care and other child welfare settings in personal injury and damages cases. The division — formerly a freestanding practice called Talenfeld Law — merged with Kelley Kronenberg in 2020 and now has a presence in each of Kelley Kronenberg’s 10 Florida offices and out-of-state locations.
