About Ken Riley

Ken Riley was born and raised in Alexander City, Alabama. After earning his business degree from the University of Alabama, Mr. Riley completed his legal studies at Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. One of Mr. Riley's strengths as a plaintiff's attorney is his ability to relate to people from all walks of life, a characteristic that comes naturally from his small-town upbringing. Having had firsthand experience with a family member involved in a life-threatening car accident, Mr. Riley understands the physical, emotional, and financial issues families involved in a serious injury experience.

He dedicates his law practice to helping injured victims obtain fair and just settlements and verdicts, focusing not only on people in catastrophic accidents but also those injured by defective medical devices, child-related accidents, and victims of nursing home abuse and medical negligence. Mr. Riley is perennially recognized as a Super Lawyers Honoree, including the Top 50 Alabama Attorneys list, and holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell. He co-hosts LawCall, a legal call-in TV show, every Sunday night on WBRC 6 with his law partner Kirby Farris.
