Brady Reilly & Cardoso, LLC

What Brady Reilly & Cardoso, LLC does

Brady Reilly & Cardoso, LLC is a Kearny, New Jersey-based personal injury and medical malpractice law firm founded in 1965 by Lawrence P. Brady, Jr. The firm is currently led by Managing Partner Kathleen M. Reilly — a New Jersey Supreme Court-certified Civil Trial Lawyer and ABOTA member — along with Partner Diane L. Cardoso and Attorney Matthew R. Pomo Jr. It represents individual injury victims and families throughout New Jersey across personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, wrongful death, mass torts, and legal malpractice matters, with bilingual capability in Spanish and Portuguese.

The firm's core offering is contingent-fee legal representation: clients pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation, with fees taken as a percentage of settlement or judgment. Free initial consultations, phone-based intake, hospital and evening visits, and multilingual staffing support a consumer-facing distribution model anchored in community reputation, content marketing (website, blog, Google reviews), and grassroots civic engagement in Hudson, Essex, and Bergen counties. Notable case results include a $6M pedestrian-trash truck wrongful death settlement recognized by the New Jersey Law Journal as the ninth largest injury recovery award in state history, a $2.8M fatal pedestrian settlement, and a $1.8M construction worker injury award.

The firm operates as a privately held, single-office New Jersey LLC with a small attorney roster, no disclosed parent company, no institutional funding, and no proprietary technology systems. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Business model economics are characteristic of a boutique contingency-fee practice: revenue is variable, dependent on case mix and settlement/verdict outcomes, and the firm's defensive moat rests on the individual reputations of its named partners, regional brand recognition built over 50+ years, and community referral pipelines rather than scale or technology.
