Meet Kerry Cait Marinelli
Kerry Marinelli is Morgan & Morgan's New Mexico attorney. She is licensed in New Mexico, state and federal courts.
She received a Bachelor of University Studies, majoring in American Studies, from the University of New Mexico, where she was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. She continued on to obtain her Juris Doctorate from the University of New Mexico School of law while completing an ABA-approved semester abroad in Australia. Ms. Marinelli believes that the practice of law allows her to be a lifelong student and relies on her education to continue developing her skills for the benefit of her clients.
Ms. Marinelli has always believed she should use her education to help lift up her community. Her legal career has been varied: she represented low-income New Mexicans in court on a variety of civil legal matters, served as an Assistant District Attorney in both the 2nd and 13th Judicial Districts, was a criminal defense attorney, represented alleged incapacitated adults as a Guardian ad Litem in guardianship cases, and practiced insurance defense for two national insurance companies. Each area of practice emphasized Ms. Marinelli's deeply ingrained desire to seek justice for those who have suffered harm. Joining Morgan & Morgan in July 2020, Ms. Marinelli has become a pivotal member of the Complex Litigation Group, focusing on products liability and mass torts.
Born and raised in New Mexico, Ms. Marinelli is passionate about her state. When not at work she can be found giving back at the local animal shelters, hiking, or running in the bosque.
