Kevin S. Mahoney

What prepared me to practice in this area of law is the sheer volume of trial experience I gained over the years. For 25 years, I practiced as a plaintiff’s medical malpractice attorney, representing patients and families in lawsuits against doctors—cases that routinely went to trial. I served as lead trial counsel in more than 20 jury trials and have taken or defended more than a thousand depositions.

That level of experience is significant compared to many attorneys in this practice area, and it has made me very comfortable going to trial and trying cases.

Outside the office, I enjoy coaching youth sports. I grew up playing sports with three brothers, and we were very competitive. Looking back, I can admit we were idiots at times. Our Sunday routine was church, followed by a stop at King Soopers for donuts, and then watching professional wrestling—after which we would try the moves on each other.

I played sports throughout my childhood and was very active. My wife was also an athlete, and I played high school and college lacrosse. I learned important life lessons and made lifelong friends through sports. Because of that, we were on the same page when we had children and wanted them involved in sports at a young age.

I was fortunate enough to coach all four of my kids in lacrosse. It was not easy. Those were hectic years, as I was running my own law practice and often had to make up for coaching time by working late nights or weekends. Looking back, I have no regrets. I spent meaningful time with my kids and built lasting relationships with their friends and teammates.

Coaching became a form of therapy for me. I could leave the stress of work behind, spend a couple of hours being present, laugh, act silly, and just enjoy myself. In many ways, coaching has given me far more than I ever put into it.
