Kevin E. J. Regan, the founder of the Regan Law Firm, LLC has been inducted as a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, an honor bestowed on fewer than 1% of lawyers in the U.S. and Canada. The College is considered among the country’s most prestigious legal organizations.
Regan has tried over 150 jury trials in civil and criminal courts in numerous state and federal courts throughout the United States. His first victory came while a senior in law school when he tried and won a second-degree murder case for the prosecution in Holton, Kansas.
Kevin has volunteered as a piper at military funerals to provide musical diversion from the protests of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church, who attempt to disrupt these services. He was asked to bagpipe as a solo performer at Kansas City, Missouri Mayor Sly James’ inauguration ceremony in 2011.
He also had the pleasure of kayaking the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, as well as sailing the waters of Lake Michigan and Pensacola Bay in Florida. Mr. Regan and other friends climbed the 104 story Sears Tower in Chicago to raise funds and awareness for the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab.
The case revolved around the same individual whom Mr. Regan had successfully prosecuted in Holton, Kansas, as an intern for County Attorney, Dick Lake. This case was tried during the summer preceding Mr. Regan’s third year in law school.
The District Attorney at that time was Dennis Moore, who went on to serve in the United States House of Representatives. During this time with the District Attorney, Kevin tried many felony jury trials, winning them all.
He was awarded the Pipe Major’s Award in 2018. Mr. Regan participated with fellow band mates of the Kansas City St. Andrew Pipes and Drums in playing for the halftime festivities at Arrowhead Stadium, in a tribute to the first responders.
