Connor, Kimmet & Hafenstein LLP – Columbus, OH

Decades of Advocacy for Injured Workers

Connor, Kimmet & Hafenstein LLP is a well-established law firm located in the Northwest area of Columbus, Ohio. The firm’s roots date back to 1971, when founding partner Daniel D. Connor began his private practice dedicated to helping the injured. Over more than 50 years, the firm has evolved and grown, but its core mission remains the same: to fight for the rights of Ohioans who have been hurt at work or are unable to work due to disability. The current partners, Kenneth S. Hafenstein, Katie W. Kimmet, and Karen D. Turano, continue this legacy of compassionate and aggressive representation. They understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that an injury takes on a family, and they are committed to securing the benefits their clients deserve.

Focused on Workers’ Compensation and Disability

The firm concentrates its practice on helping individuals navigate the complex state and federal systems for injury and disability benefits. Their primary areas of expertise include:

• Workers’ Compensation: Representing employees injured on the job in claims before the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) and the Industrial Commission.
• Social Security Disability: Assisting clients who are unable to work due to medical conditions in obtaining SSDI and SSI benefits.
• Personal Injury: Handling cases involving auto accidents and other negligence claims to recover damages for medical bills and lost wages.
• Police and Fire Disability: specialized representation for first responders seeking disability benefits.

Convenient Northwest Columbus Location

The firm is located at 2000 W Henderson Rd, in a professional office building in the Upper Arlington / Northwest Columbus area. This location is easily accessible from Route 315 and Sawmill Road, offering a convenient alternative to downtown traffic. The office provides a welcoming and accessible environment for clients, many of whom are dealing with mobility issues due to their injuries.
