For Immediate Release

ROSELAND, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/April 9, 2010 --- Connell Foley LLP has brought on board Michael J. Crowley, a talented trial lawyer with a twenty-five year record of service to Fortune 500 companies at the New York law firm he helped establish. The addition of Crowley's practice marks a significant expansion of Connell Foley LLP's New York operations.

Connell Foley is a natural fit for me," Crowley said. "The firm has a passionate commitment to serve clients that mirrors mine."

Crowley is a highly experienced trial lawyer in the New York federal and state courts, with recognized expertise in the areas of aviation law, product liability, toxic tort litigation and commercial disputes. He represents a wide variety of clients, including airlines and product manufacturers, as well as defendants in the complex consolidated litigation arising out of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on The World Trade Center. He currently serves as a member of the Defendants' Executive Committee for the 9/11 litigation.

In addition to managing his significant litigation docket and trial schedule, Crowley consults and lectures nationally on aviation-related topics for the airline industry, and on product liability issues for major manufacturers.

An active volunteer in his community, Crowley strives to create a positive impact with his enthusiastic involvement in many organizations, ranging from local charities to youth sports.

"Everyone at Connell Foley has been welcoming," stated Crowley. "I'm confident that with the support of my staff, we'll present a powerful and effective team serving the firm's clients in the metropolitan area."

"After years of working together, I have developed strong relationships with many valuable clients that I will continue to represent and counsel at Connell Foley."

According to Connell Foley Managing Partner Michael X. McBride, "Crowley is an outstanding addition to our diverse team of professionals. His expansive knowledge in the aviation and products liability fields strengthens our New York operations and positions Connell Foley to better meet our clients' legal needs across an even greater number of areas."
