Kiesel Boucher Larson LLP reinforced its status as one of the nation’s pre-eminent consumer litigation firms. Its attorneys recently finalized more than $1 billion in settlements arising out of sexual molestation claims against the Catholic Church.
PRACTICE AREAS
The firm is nationally recognized for success in consumer litigation, often in high-profile cases against powerful defendants. KBL specializes in complex litigation on behalf of plaintiffs who have been injured due to negligence, fraud, unfair business practices or other wrongful conduct. It also focuses on class actions, construction defects, toxic tort, mesothelioma and environmental litigation.
KBL is honored to have its named partners all included this year in Super Lawyers® as well as their newest addition to the team, Antony Stuart, now of counsel to the firm.
PAYING ATTENTION
Clients retain KBL for its experience and skill in the courtroom, as well as the personal relationships its lawyers build with their clients. “Our strength is working closely with individual clients so they have a direct connection with the attorney working on their case,” says Paul Kiesel.
TRIAL LAWYER OF THE YEAR
Ray Boucher is often honored for his dedication to the practice of law and preserving the justice system. Boucher has again been recognized by the Los Angeles Daily Journal as one of the “100 Most Influential Attorneys” in the state. The Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles and California each honored him as Trial Lawyer of the Year, and he was selected as one of Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America.
CONSUMER LAW LEADER
Kiesel chairs the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s litigation section. The Los Angeles Daily Journal has recognized him as one of the “100 Most Influential Attorneys” in California, and the Los Angeles Business Journal recognized him as one of its “Top 50 Trial Lawyers.” He was also selected as one of Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America.
TAKING ON THE ‘BIG BOYS’
William Larson is tackling the online travel industry on behalf of various California cities in a tax litigation matter. Larson applies his detail-oriented and creative approach to complex personal injury, insurance and class action matters.
JOINING THE TEAM
Tony Stuart joined the firm as of counsel. An accomplished trial lawyer and consumer attorney leader, Stuart has been recognized by California Lawyer magazine as one of the state’s “Top 20 Attorneys.” Stuart will continue his practice in complex personal injury and fraud cases involving health insurers.
GIVING BACK
It’s a hallmark of KBL to devote significant amounts of time to the community. The firm dedicates at least 25 percent of its practice to pro bono cases, public service and leadership in the bar. “Doing charitable work is critically important to us,” Boucher says. “We’ve done well, and it’s a pleasure to give back to the community.”
