At KRLG Injury Lawyers, we’re proud to announce that three of our outstanding attorneys—Austin Kurtz, Brian Riley, and Sean McGarry—have been recognized on the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list. This prestigious recognition celebrates promising attorneys who have demonstrated excellence early in their careers, and we couldn’t be more honored to see members of our firm included among this impressive group.
What Is Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch?
Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch is a distinguished recognition program published by the same organization that produces The Best Lawyers in America. While Best Lawyers in America highlights the most accomplished attorneys with extensive experience and long-standing reputations in their fields, Ones to Watch focuses on the next generation of legal leaders.
This program recognizes young attorneys who have already demonstrated strong professional excellence in their areas of practice. The awards are based entirely on peer review, meaning that recipients are nominated and evaluated by other lawyers who are familiar with their work. This process ensures that each honoree is recognized not just for potential, but for the quality of their advocacy, professionalism, and integrity.
In other words, being named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch is not only an acknowledgment of talent—it’s a sign of respect from fellow legal professionals.
Excellence Recognized: Austin Kurtz, Brian Riley, and Sean McGarry
The attorneys at KRLG Injury Lawyers are known for their dedication to clients and their relentless pursuit of justice. The inclusion of Austin Kurtz, Brian Riley, and Sean McGarry on the Ones to Watch list reflects both their individual accomplishments and our firm’s collective commitment to excellence in personal injury law.
Austin Kurtz
Austin Kurtz, one of the founding partners of KRLG Injury Lawyers, is a proud Arizona native with deep roots in the Valley. After earning his degree from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business and Barrett, The Honors College, Austin attended law school in California and began his legal career in Colorado before returning home to the desert. Today, he is licensed to practice law in Arizona, California, and Colorado.
Brian Riley
Brian Riley, also a founding partner of KRLG Injury Lawyers, brings his trademark drive and determination to every case he handles. Licensed to practice law in Arizona and Washington, Brian understands what it means to fight for his clients with everything he has.
A former collegiate tight end, Brian applies the same discipline, strategy, and focus he once brought to the field to his legal practice. He knows how to gameplan success, whether that means developing a winning trial strategy or securing a fair settlement for an injured client.
Sean McGarry
Sean McGarry is a litigation attorney at KRLG Injury Lawyers, bringing a wealth of experience and a personal touch to his practice. Born and raised in rural southern Illinois, Sean comes from a family of attorneys and has devoted his career to representing victims of personal injury and wrongful death.
Sean’s passion for helping others extends beyond the courtroom. He is fluent in Spanish, a language he mastered while studying abroad and teaching English in Santiago, Chile. His background and strong communication skills allow him to connect deeply with clients from all walks of life.
