Law Firm Overview

A Brief History Of Bendall & Mednick
Built on the Philosophy of "Real Lawyers for Real People"

Jim Bendall began his legal career with the Troy, N.Y firm of Viger & Armstrong in 1971. Jim was admitted to practice on a Friday. The following Monday Morning he tried his first case. He won. Four years later, in 1976, he opened his own office in Schenectady, NY. Over the course of the next 14 years, Jim's office grew to include associate attorneys, but the focus of the firm remained
centered on providing high quality legal work to hardworking, real people.

In 1990, Kevin Mednick had joined Jim's office as an associate, after a distinguished career in the Orange County District Attorney's office. Kevin has an extensive background as a trial attorney including the representation of plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury, product liability and medical malpractice cases as well as the prosecution and defense of criminal cases. Over the past ten years, the focus of his practice has evolved to consist almost entirely of plaintiff's work in the areas of personal injury, product liability and medical malpractice. Jim and Kevin share a similar sensibility about balancing the demands of plaintiff's practice with the importance of family life. In 1993, Jim welcomed Kevin as a partner in the firm.

Four years later, Jim's son Jamie joined the firm as an associate. In 1997, Bendall & Mednick opened an office in Atlanta, GA, marking yet another milestone in the history of the firm.
