About Tim Riley
After winning the largest jury verdict in U.S. history for a wrongful death medical malpractice action, Tim Riley was appointed Adjunct Professor of Law at Pepperdine University School of Law in 1985.

A noted trial attorney, Tim has been profiled in the LA Daily Journal.  He is the co-author of Chapter 9, Volume 1, Forensic Sciences, editor Cyril Wecht, publisher Matthew Bender.

California Supreme Court Justice Markus M. Kaufman, retired, described Riley as a ‘sensational, conscientious and skilled attorney.’  ‘I can't say enough about him.’  Judge Kaufman reviewed an appeal by Riley: ‘He had insight into issues that interested the court and knew how to present them.’

Tim received his JD Degree from Cardozo School of Law in 1982;  and a Bachelor of Professional Studies Degree, with Distinction, from Pace University in 1979.  Tim was admitted to practice law in New York in 1983 and admitted to practice law in California in 1984.
