As a product liability defense attorney, Kevin Reynolds has tried dozens of cases to jury verdict in state and federal courts for over 30 years.  He is sensitive to the needs of self-insured manufacturers and insurers who underwrite these unique risks, and has represented wholesalers, distributors, and retailers in products cases as well.  He is intimately familiar with such issues as: product recalls; conducting evidentiary Daubert hearings in federal court; spoliation of evidence; defenses based on federal preemption; protective orders against the dissemination of internal, confidential, and proprietary trade-secret type design information; and keeping proof of other accidents, claims or lawsuits out of evidence.  Kevin is also an experienced instrument-rated private pilot, with over 1,700 flight hours since 1989.  His flying experience gives him a distinct advantage when he works on aviation-related matters.  Finally, his extensive jury trial, litigation and appellate-court experience provides him with a solid background when litigating commercial cases.
