His first felony trial was a rape case in which the defendant was represented by William Homans, a prominent Boston defense attorney. Kerry secured a guilty verdict.

He won convictions in a murder and a high-profile rape case. Robert Barton, the defense attorney in the murder case and who later became a trial judge, called Kerry "as good a trial lawter I ever saw."

Kerry also won a rape conviction and an eighteen to thirty year prison sentence for George O. Edgerly a former service manager at a Lowell auto dealership. Edgerly was later convicted of murder in another county in connection to the slaying of a General Motors executive investigating excessive warranty claims at the dealership.
