The Hudson County Bar Association Civil Practice Committee has named Kathleen M. Reilly of Brady, Brady & Reilly as the Civil Lawyer of the Year for 2014.
The award, presented at the Bar Association Practice Awards Dinner, was bestowed on Reilly in recognition of her distinguished service in the practice of civil law. Attending were members of her firm, the judiciary and her family as well as fellow members of the trial bar.
A certified civil trial lawyer, Reilly heads the firm of Brady, Brady & Reilly in Kearny. A graduate of Rosemont College and Seton Hall University School of Law, she has been practicing litigation in the State and Federal Courts of New Jersey since 1983. She specializes in serious personal injury and death claims, including, but not limited to, automobile negligence, dangerous products, premises liability, liquor liability, dog bites and slip/trip and falls.
Reilly has had multiple jury verdicts in excess of $1 million and has settled millions of dollars in personal injury cases on behalf of her injured clients.
In announcing the award, the law firm noted: “Representing the injured, disabled and bereaved is a serious responsibility, and Reilly shoulders this mission with unwavering compassion. Known for her sympathetic and caring nature, many are surprised to witness her feistiness and ferocity in the courtroom. She is both fearless and vigorous in pursuit of a claim on behalf of a client. Her experience, dedication and meticulous preparation have translated into financial awards and justice for the firm’s satisfied clients.”
