We're proud to celebrate Attorney Walter Kelley, founding partner of Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers, for being named to the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for the fifth consecutive year in two categories:
- Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs
- Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs
Walter has spent his career holding companies accountable when they hurt people. He's served in court-appointed leadership roles in federal multidistrict litigation, including as Plaintiffs' Liaison Counsel for the Covidien hernia mesh cases and co-lead counsel for the Stryker LFIT V40 hip implant cases. In 2023, he secured a $200 million jury verdict against R.J. Reynolds To***co Company in Suffolk Superior Court.
As he puts it, "The recognition is meaningful, but it belongs to the clients."
Join us in congratulating Walter on this outstanding achievement!
