The Law Office of Linda Kenney Baden provides criminal defense and civil rights representation to clients in New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. Linda Kenney Baden, a Rutgers School of Law graduate, clerked for Presiding Judge John F. Lynch of the Appellate Division and served as an Assistant Prosecutor in the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, where she tried cases including murder and death penalty matters. Her practice centers on state and federal criminal defense, homicide, and forensic and crime lab issues, along with Section 1983 civil rights claims, employment discrimination, and sexual harassment.

Her clients have included Phil Spector, Michael Skakel, Jayson Williams, and Aaron Hernandez. She has also done pro bono work for John Paul House, who spent 22 years on death row in Tennessee. She is on the faculty of the Trial Advocacy Workshop at Harvard Law School and served two terms as Co-Chair of the New York State Bar Association's Wrongful Conviction Committee. Pre-arrest services are part of the criminal-defense docket, and the civil-rights work includes both citizen and police civil-rights matters as well as employment discrimination and sexual harassment.

An Appellate Division clerkship, a Monmouth County prosecutorial docket that included murder and death-penalty trials, Harvard Law School trial-advocacy teaching, and a practice that reaches New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., are the facts behind this West 53rd Street office.

Forensic and crime-lab issues are part of the homicide and other criminal-defense work, and Section 1983 civil rights claims are brought alongside employment discrimination and sexual harassment cases. Pre-arrest services are available before a charge is filed. The two terms as Co-Chair of the New York State Bar Association's Wrongful Conviction Committee, and the Harvard Law School trial-advocacy teaching, sit beside a practice that also includes pro bono death-row representation.
