Fenton & Keller opened its new law office in King City at 218 Bassett Street, Suite A, with an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 12.

The office opening was attended by more than 50 people and featured a special presentation from Sen. Anna Caballero’s office, food from a local taco truck, wine, tours of the office, meet-and-greet with the King City office’s team and a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the King City Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture and Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce.

“It was a great event and we are so proud to be part of the King City community,” said John E. Kesecker.

The new office, led by attorney John E. Kesecker, has a reception area, four offices, a kitchen area, and a conference room. Initially, the King City office will be staffed by Kesecker, Stefanie King, and Lesly Valdez as well as Kesecker’s wife Kerry, who helped in establishing the new office. Mr. Kesecker intends to be in King City three to four days a week, with Ms. King and Ms.Valdez working there full time. The office will be fully networked with the Monterey office, from a technology standpoint.

John and Kerry Kesecker are residents of South County and he practiced in King City for 10 years before joining Fenton & Keller — ironically, at the 218 Bassett Street, Suite A, location.

“We are excited about becoming a physical presence in King City,” said Kesecker. “I get to come back to a community I care about, and it will provide an ability for local residents to sit across from their attorney without having to travel to Salinas, Monterey, or Paso Robles.”
