Attorney Information
Overview
Kevin Mahoney specializes in estate and trust litigation. He has tried cases to judges, juries, and arbitrators, and he has taken and defended more than 1,000 depositions, the vast majority of which were medical or economic experts. He spent several years as a partner at a Denver law firm where he handled medical malpractice and mass tort cases. He obtained several multi-million dollar verdicts against physicians and dentists, including the largest verdict against a dentist in Colorado history [Dosien v. Dorsey]. Kevin now serves as personal counsel to physicians who are defendants in litigation. He has been practicing since 1995 and is licensed in both Colorado and Wyoming. He has been selected as a Colorado Super Lawyer every year since 2009 and has been named as a 5280 Top Lawyer every year since 2015.
Kevin attended college at Duke University where he was a four-year letterman on the varsity lacrosse team. He was chosen to the Atlantic Coast Conference Honor Roll during each of his four years of college. In 1991 he graduated magna cum laude from Duke with a double major in history and political science. He then attended Duke University School of Law, which is one of the top ten law schools in the country. He was a member of the law review at Duke and received the Note of the Year Award in 1994. In 1995, Kevin graduated in the top ten percent of his law school class.
Kevin has been a youth lacrosse coach for fifteen years. He was the head coach for all four of his children’s teams – two sons and two daughters. Kevin has coached dozens of players at the youth and high school level who went on to play Division I lacrosse in college, including more than 20 girls in the high school class of 2024.
