Overview

Kevin handles large portfolios of mass tort litigation in both local counsel and national coordinating counsel roles.

Kevin has deep experience defending clients embroiled in toxic tort, mass tort, and personal injury litigation and has served as part of national coordinating counsel teams in actively managing hundreds of pending matters. He brings this broad, portfolio-wide perspective to bear on each client representation, guiding clients through the development of pre-trial and trial strategy that is sustainable over the long and winding course of multiple litigations in multiple jurisdictions.

Kevin’s conversance with the complexities associated with large volumes of litigation has enabled him to find new and innovative approaches to organizing pretrial workflow, leading to more efficient outcomes and better management of resources. Additionally, he possesses a strong understanding of New York and New Jersey courts’ case management systems and procedures and leverages these advantages for his clients’ benefit.

Kevin has advised clients at every stage of litigation and is comfortable leading large teams whenever and wherever his clients require assistance. His work has included:

  • Successful motion and appellate practice resulting in granted motions for summary judgment and motions to dismiss based on lack of personal jurisdiction in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
  • Established and confident experience in oral argument, deposition attendance, jury selection and court appearances
  • Personally retained as New York and New Jersey local counsel for national railroad client in toxic tort and FELA matters
  • Successfully conduct alternative causation investigations to reduce case value and liability
  • Expert and lay witness contact and development
  • Superior command of New York and New Jersey toxic tort procedure and knowledge of court docketing and filing protocols

Prior to entering private practice, Kevin served as a law clerk to Civil Presiding Judge Peter F. Bariso of the Superior Court of New Jersey, where he gained invaluable insights on how the judicial decision-making impacted tort litigation and how the court handles a wide variety of issues, including discovery and motions to compel/suppress, among others.
