Kansas Governor Sam Brownback announced the appointment of Overland Park attorney Keven M.P. O’Grady to the 10th Judicial District bench.
O’Grady takes the seat of retiring Judge Peter V. Ruddick. He was one of three names submitted to the Governor by the 10th Judicial District Nominating Commission. The 10th Judicial District encompasses Johnson County.
Brownback says O’Grady has a wealth of experience in family law and business law. “His numerous awards and recognitions for excellence speak volumes about his qualifications, and how he will perform his duties,” Brownback said in a news release.
O’Grady is a shareholder in the firm of Ferree, Bunn, O’Grady & Rundberg, Chtd. in Overland Park. He was admitted to the Kansas state bar, the federal bar and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeal bar in 1987. He received his undergraduate degree from Rockhurst College and his law degree from the University of Kansas.
