About Ken Harrell

Ken Harrell joined Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers in 1994 after spending six years as an attorney at the state's largest corporate defense firm. He became Managing Partner in 2006. While his primary focus is on the firm's business operations, he also handles cases involving workers' compensation, car accidents, and defective products, and heads up the firm's referral practice. The firm works in association with dozens of lawyers each year to ensure clients receive strong representation on larger, complex injury cases. He grew up in Waverly, Virginia, in a blue-collar family, and attended James Madison University before earning his law degree at the College of William and Mary.
