## Education and Community Service

I received my Juris Doctor from the Dickinson School of Law in 2006, where I focused on Federal Sentencing Guidelines and participated in Amnesty International. Previously, I earned a B.A. from Franklin and Marshall College, with a special studies major combining sociology and biochemistry — for which I completed a study in Expert Scientific Testimony.

## Professional Experience

I'm the principal attorney of Trachte Law Office PC, a firm with a long-standing reputation for excellence in the Hudson Valley. Since joining the firm in 2007, I've handled thousands of criminal and civil cases at both the trial and appellate levels.

I was admitted to the New York State Bar in 2007 and to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in 2010.

### Special Prosecutor — Ulster County (2013–2017)

From 2013 to 2017, I served on the Ulster County Conflict Special Prosecutor Panel, appointed by the Ulster County Court to prosecute cases when the District Attorney's Office was required to recuse itself due to a conflict of interest. That experience gave me valuable perspective on the role of a prosecutor as well as a defense attorney.

### Assistant Public Defender — Ulster County (2018–Present)

Since 2018, I've worked as an Assistant Public Defender with the Ulster County Public Defender's Office, providing criminal defense representation to ensure that individuals who cannot afford an attorney receive the same quality of legal advocacy as those who can.

Over nearly two decades of practice, I've appeared regularly in county, supreme, city, and justice courts across multiple counties in New York.

Kenyon works as an assistant public defender with the Ulster County Public Defender's Office and as principal attorney of Trachte Law Office PC. He previously served on the Ulster County Conflict Special Prosecutor Panel.
