Kiley Law Group, LLC (tomkileylaw.com) is a New England personal injury firm built on three generations of Kiley attorneys. Founder and Senior Partner Thomas M. Kiley launched the firm in 1987 after earlier service as an Assistant Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and as an associate at Herlihy & O'Brien and Swartz & Swartz. In 1988 the Boston Herald Sunday Magazine dubbed him 'The Million-Dollar Man' for his record of million-dollar verdicts and settlements; he was also a member of the trial team in the landmark 'Woburn Case' that became Jonathan Harr's bestseller A Civil Action and the subsequent feature film. His son Thomas M. Kiley, Jr., a partner at the firm, continues the family tradition alongside attorney Douglas Henderson and a team of paralegals and staff. The firm holds itself out as a 'family firm, and your family's firm,' and its website and external reviews repeatedly emphasize compassionate, family-style client service. According to a Catholic Charities / Healthy Families testimonial published on attorneyatlaw.com, 'For the past three-year Catholic Charities/Healthy Families have been working with Tom and Mary at the Kiley Law Office. They have been generous to the families that we serve in the Haverhill and surrounding areas!' The firm represents clients on a contingency-fee basis across Massachusetts and New Hampshire and has been recognized by Boston Magazine (Top Lawyer 2025), Super Lawyers, Avvo and Martindale-Hubbell.

Firm Overview & Family Legacy
Kiley Law Group describes itself on its About page as 'more than just a law firm—we are a family firm, and your family's firm.' The practice spans three generations of Kiley attorneys: the founder's father Daniel P. Kiley Jr. practiced before him, Thomas M. Kiley (Sr.) founded the firm, and Thomas M. Kiley Jr. now carries it forward. Tom Sr.'s website bio tells how his great-grandfather, an Irish immigrant, was fatally injured in the textile mills, an experience Tom credits with shaping his identification with 'people needlessly injured by the rich and powerful.' The firm has recovered more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements across Massachusetts and New Hampshire and operates on a contingency-fee basis ('No Fees Unless We Win').
