About Kennet M
Kennet M Phillipson pursued a straightforward route through higher education before entering the practice of law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Eastern Washington University in 1999 and completed his J.D. at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 2003. Those years of study gave him grounding in public institutions and the mechanics of law.
After law school, Phillipson began practicing in Washington. He has built his practice around the rules and procedures of that state. Over time he has handled matters that require familiarity with Washington statutes, court procedures and local practice norms.
Phillipson is an attorney at Beemer & Mumma P.S. There he works alongside other lawyers in a firm setting, contributing to case preparation, client counseling and courtroom work as needed. His role at the firm involves the day-to-day responsibilities of a practicing lawyer: researching legal issues, drafting filings, negotiating on behalf of clients and appearing in court when matters proceed to trial.
The combination of a government degree and a Berkeley Law education informs how he approaches cases. He blends an understanding of policy and public institutions with the practical demands of litigating or resolving disputes. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparation. Clients find the steady application of established rules and procedures to be reassuring when matters are at stake.
Phillipson’s work is firmly anchored in Washington law. He handles matters that arise within the state’s jurisdiction and that depend on state statutes and court precedent. That local emphasis shapes his daily practice. It also means he stays attentive to changes in state law and court rulings that alter how cases are handled.
Outside strict casework, he remains involved in the routine tasks that keep a small firm running: mentoring junior staff, managing case calendars and coordinating with court clerks. These responsibilities can be as consequential as the legal arguments themselves because timing and procedure often determine outcomes.
He practices at Beemer & Mumma P.S., where his current work addresses legal matters in Washington state.
