Ken Ralidis

I am a highly sought-after trial lawyer with experience in employment law, wage and hour disputes, and tort defense. I get results. Having tried more than 60 cases and negotiated successful settlements in hundreds more, I have earned a reputation for obtaining settlements and verdicts my clients’ prior attorneys were unable to obtain. I maximize awards, minimize liability, and protect bottom-line revenue. My extensive experience combined with my balanced portfolio of both plaintiff and defense work means I can expertly help you spot and stave off problems ahead of time, often avoiding litigation to begin with, and if necessary providing critical insight into opposing counsel’s strategy when the time comes. I am experienced at all stages of and types of litigation with a track record of success in mediation, pre-trial settlements, both jury and bench trials, and appeals. • I saved corporate construction clients tens of millions of dollars through a successful defense of series of condo complex defective construction cases, getting one client out on summary judgment and settling the rest for minimal. These cases involved 10 developers, 5 insurers, separate declaratory relief actions for each, and multi-million-dollar properties. • After a corporate client had $1 million+ in claims brought against it for harassment and discrimination in a wage and hour case, I achieved settlement for a fraction of the damages claimed. • I obtained a settlement of $1 million for a premises liability client where their previous counsel had only been able to get an offer $250,000. My network of highly specialized experts was key in this win.
