About Rafferty E.
Rafferty E. Kellogg built his legal foundation at Cornell University, where he earned a B.S. in Industrial and Labor Relations in 2001. He went on to study law at SUNY Buffalo Law School and received his J.D. in 2005. Those years shaped an interest in how organizations and rules interact. They also prepared him for a career that crosses state lines.
He entered private practice in the mid-2000s and took a partner role at Wicker Smith in 2005. He spent the next decade developing client relationships and handling matters that required coordination across offices and teams. In 2015 he moved to Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP as a partner, joining a larger platform while retaining hands-on responsibility for case management and client counseling.
In 2020 he founded Kellogg & Kellogg, LLP and assumed the role of managing partner. As a founder he has handled the practical work of running a firm: recruiting lawyers, overseeing operations, and setting strategic priorities. He continues to supervise litigation teams and manage client engagements, balancing firm leadership with active legal work.
Kellogg is admitted to practice in Florida, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts and New York. He holds membership in the State Bar of New York. His multi-jurisdictional admissions allow him to represent and advise clients across several regulatory and court systems. That geographic reach has been a recurring theme in his career.
Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and exacting in preparation. He favors clear briefs and careful scheduling. Those habits grew from years of coordinating cases that involve multiple counsel and shifting deadlines. He is known in his workplaces for emphasizing process. He expects teams to document steps and to prepare for contingencies.
Outside the office he has participated in bar activities and professional networks that connect lawyers across regions. He keeps a practical approach to professional development: staying current on statutory changes, court rulings, and procedural practice in the jurisdictions where he appears. He is not a frequent public commentator, preferring work on client files.
Kellogg practices from Kellogg & Kellogg, LLP. He concentrates his practice at Kellogg & Kellogg, LLP on matters in Florida, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts and New York.
