In this episode of "Celebrating Justice," trial lawyer Kaitlin Nares shares her inspirational journey from a fourth-grader wanting to become Ruth Bader Ginsburg to becoming a successful civil rights and personal injury attorney at her own firm, the Nares Law Group.
Her childhood fascination with law translated into a passionate career in civil rights, ultimately leading her to work on the landmark Central Park Five case. Kaitlin discusses her role in securing a $40 million resolution for the wrongfully convicted men and highlights the subsequent establishment of the Innocence Project at the University of Colorado Boulder by one of her clients, Corey Wise. This significant case marks a lifetime involvement, spanning her early childhood to her mid-level attorney years. Her unique career path also includes being featured in the documentary "False Confessions," showcasing the adverse effects of coercive interrogation tactics.
Kaitlin also highlights her transition to personal injury law, where she leverages her civil rights background to address issues like police brutality and brain injuries. Her commitment to advocacy continues as she fights to change laws, ensuring better protection for vulnerable individuals, such as children injured by caregivers without proper insurance coverage.
In her “Closing Argument,” Kaitlin emphasizes the importance of balancing a demanding career with personal life, having founded her own law firm to achieve this balance.
