Thomas M. Kiley

Thomas Kiley founded his personal injury law firm on the principle that “as a personal injury trial lawyer, it is your obligation to provide clients and their families with aggressive representation and compassionate guidance through the legal process.”

For over 50 years, Tom has dedicated his career to serving as both a tireless advocate and a safety champion for individuals and families who have been harmed due to defective products, motor vehicle accidents, and other preventable tragedies caused by negligence and wrongdoing.

Few personal injury lawyers can relate to the struggles of accident victims as profoundly as Tom Kiley. As a third-generation Irish American, Tom grew up hearing his grandfather’s stories about his Irish immigrant great-grandfather, who sustained fatal injuries working in the textile mills. This tragedy left his family, including Tom’s grandfather Daniel Kiley, to fend for themselves in an era without public assistance.

“It helped me identify with people needlessly injured by the rich and powerful in a way that has driven me to succeed on behalf of my clients,” Tom says.

In 1988, the Boston Herald Sunday Magazine, in its Personal Best Series, referred to Tom Kiley as “The Million-Dollar Man.” The title was a nod to his record of securing million-dollar verdicts and settlements in complex personal injury cases, where he represented clients against powerful insurance companies and corporations.

Tom Kiley was a member of the trial team in the “Woburn Case,” an intense legal battle brought by eight families from the same Woburn, Massachusetts, neighborhood. Each family had a child diagnosed with leukemia, linked to contamination in the municipal water supply. This precedent-setting case became the subject of Jonathan Harr’s best-selling book, A Civil Action, which was later adapted into a feature film.

When a person’s life is turned upside down by another’s recklessness, the road to recovery is often daunting, marked by physical and emotional challenges. Tom Kiley offers steadfast guidance through every step of the legal process, providing unwavering support to clients who face unimaginable circumstances.

With an unshakable belief that holding wrongdoers accountable makes communities safer, Tom empowers injury victims and their families through knowledgeable, compassionate, and aggressive representation.
