#32 Local Justice: Accountability & Corporate Responsibility with Kenneth Berger

In this episode of Local Justice, host Ben Leader sits down with Attorney Kenneth "Kenny" Berger, the founder of the Law Offices of Kenneth Berger in Columbia and Myrtle Beach. As a highly respected South Carolina trial lawyer and a leading advocate on the South Carolina Access to Justice Commission, Kenny brings a passion for fairness, accountability, and the street-level defense of human rights. Kenny shares his path to the legal profession, from his public school education across South Carolina to studying as a visiting student at Harvard and working in a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C. He discusses his decision to launch his own law firm 15 years ago, building it from humble origins into an impactful, independent practice completely free from private equity or outside investor influence. The conversation addresses a high-profile national lawsuit against Uber following a violent assault on a passenger, shedding light on flawed rideshare background checks that prioritize profit models over public safety. Kenny exposes how corporate entities use aggressive public relations to shield themselves from liability, debunks common narratives regarding frivolous lawsuits, and highlights why the collective voice of a local jury remains the ultimate tool for corporate accountability. Local Justice is a community-focused series by Elrod Pope Accident & Injury Attorneys, hosted by attorney Ben Leader, highlighting legal topics and the people making a difference in York County and surrounding areas.
