Christopher Kenworthy and Zachary Reiland are joining the group after more than 30 years of private practice experience between them, and BBB also promoted two of its own, Kenneth Krayeske and Megan Boorsma, to partner in recognizing its "commitment to the firm and its clients."

One of Connecticut's leading law firms, BBB Attorneys, is continuing its growth by adding two lawyers to its personal injury litigation team and promoting two of its most successful trial lawyers to partner, the firm announced in a news release in late May.

The firm, which specializes in injury litigation covering car crashes, airplane disasters and other mass torts, announced that Christopher Kenworthy and Zachary Reiland are joining the group after more than 30 years of private practice experience between them.

Kenworthy has won or settled more than 300 cases throughout his career. As a law clerk for an insurance company while in law school, BBB Attorneys believes he will bring a significant advantage on personal injury cases. Reiland's nearly 15 years of experience in criminal defense and postconviction work fits into the "client-first" focus of the firm, the release said.

"In this legal environment, a true trial attorney is a rare talent. Chris and Zach have elite courtroom experience that will help our clients in their quest for justice," BBB Attorneys' Chief Innovation Partner Peter Bowman said. "Their experience, energy and willingness to advocate for clients is second to none."

BBB Attorneys also promoted two of its own, Kenneth Krayeske and Megan Boorsma, to partner in recognizing their "commitment to the firm and its clients."

Krayeske, with extensive experience in federal civil rights cases, has obtained multiple seven-figure verdicts from the Connecticut Department of Corrections for failure to provide proper medical care to prisoners. He was lead counsel in the class action Barfield v. Quiros, a settlement which resulted in the Department of Corrections paying $40 million to test more than 20,000 people for Hepatitis C, curing more than 1,400 of them.

Boorsma has secured millions of dollars for injured clients and has worked both prosecution and defense on a variety of claims. She obtained a $5 million prejudgment remedy in a child pornography and sexual privacy case, along with a $1 million verdict in a wrongful-death overdose case.

Krayeske was appointed to administrator of the state's only municipal public campaign finance system, the New Haven Democracy Fund, in 2012. He then ran his own firm for nearly 10 years before joining BBB Attorneys in 2023.

Boorsma was admitted into practice in 2017 before starting at a general litigation firm in New Haven, and joined BBB Attorneys in 2022.

"Megan and Ken are tireless advocates for their clients and have done so much for the people they help and our firm," Bowman said. "It is an honor to recognize their contribution and practice areas and it is an honor to have them as partners in our firm."

BBB Attorneys has offices located throughout Connecticut, including in West Hartford, Stratford and New Haven, but also has a national reach. Its founders are Bowman and Peter G. Billings.
