Lawyer Overview

Carey Reilly, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Connecticut Law School, has been instrumental in many of the firm's courtroom and appellate successes. Carey has had numerous, impressive courtroom victories in cases concerning medical malpractice, negligence and aviation.

Her strong academic background and legal scholarship, lead the firm to victory in the landmark appellate case of Ely v. Murphy -- a case that changed Connecticut law, for the first time holding a person legally responsible for supplying liquor to a minor. She also argued and won a precedent setting appellate decision resulting in the prohibition of gender discrimination in jury selection in Connecticut courts.

Recently, Carey won another impressive and important victory in the State's highest court. In a precedent setting ruling the Court permitted a KK&B client infected with the AIDS virus to sue thirteen years after receiving a contaminated blood transfusion, in spite of the State's restrictive Statute of Limitations.

Carey, a careful and tireless worker, pays particular attention to the details of her case. Her established command of both the facts and the legal principals upon which the case is based form the cornerstone for her numerous successes. Carey's ability to handle complex scientific and legal principles and her analytical skills are valuable assets to her clients and the firm.
