Bruce A. Kilday, Partner

Mr. Kilday was in the District Attorney’s Office for five years trying criminal cases including felony cases of robbery, rape, arson and the first consumer fraud case to go to trial before moving to civil practice. He has extensive teaching experience and a fondness for humor which enhances his ability to communicate, and helps build effective rapport with clients, judges and juries. He has taught CEB courses for 25 years (Depositions, Effective Direct & Cross-Exam) and for over 10 years has been the POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training) instructor for the Officer Involved Shootings course for Northern California. He has also been on the faculty of the Hastings College of Advocacy, a guest lecturer in the trial advocacy program and in civil rights classes at local law schools and several times a year is asked to speak at seminars and conferences, often in the area of police liability. He creatively explores early resolution of cases and has been successful in getting a number of cases dismissed with a minimum of expense to the client. In addition to Angelo, Kilday & Kilduff surviving years with Bruce as Managing Partner, he is most proud of his children, Elisabeth and Patrick, and his wife, Sue.
