"There is nothing more professionally rewarding than obtaining justice for my clients."

Since 1984, Kerri Johnson Riley has built her practice on two simple principles: protect the rights of individuals and small businesses, and hold large, powerful corporations and insurance companies responsible for their wrongful acts.  Over the course of her career, Mrs. Riley has obtained hundreds of successful verdicts and settlements for her clients.  Her unwavering professional standards have earned her the respect of her colleagues in the legal community.

The truly rewarding part of Mrs. Riley’s practice is when she is able to make a meaningful positive impact in her clients’ lives.  Whether she is standing up for someone who has wrongfully lost a loved one, forcing a large powerful company to atone for its wrongful treatment of employees, or defending a family-owned business, Kerri Riley remains is a masterful, compassionate and zealous advocate.
