Trial Attorney

Superstar teams can change the world. Some lawyers want a job. Others want to become exceptional trial lawyers. At Kelley | Uustal, our attorneys take on the cases others won’t. Complex cases. High-stakes cases. Cases where the outcome can change a client’s life — and sometimes change an industry. We’ve built a team of trial lawyers who are battle-tested, relentless, and unwilling to settle for ordinary results.

Our firm has secured some of the largest verdicts and settlements in U.S. history. Bob Kelley has been named Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice, and John Uustal has been named Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” for Products Liability. Our work has also been recognized among Courtroom View Network’s Top 10 Most Impressive Plaintiff Verdicts in the nation.

But what we’ve accomplished matters less than what we’re building next. Come here to become better. Great trial lawyers aren’t developed by watching from the sidelines. At Kelley | Uustal, attorneys work alongside accomplished trial lawyers, take on meaningful responsibility, and sharpen their skills on complex, high-stakes cases.

You’ll be surrounded by attorneys who have built careers taking on formidable opponents and achieving extraordinary results – including renowned trial attorney John Uustal, one of the original founders of Trial School. We believe deeply in developing talent, challenging one another, and surrounding exceptional people with other exceptional people.

The work is demanding. The expectations are high. And that’s exactly the point. The right lawyers aren’t intimidated by high expectations. They’re drawn to them. Kelley | Uustal. Built for trial lawyers who expect more.
