Jim Carey, managing partner of SiebenCarey and a graduate of William Mitchell College of Law, was selected today as a 2023 Power 30 Personal Injury Attorney by Minnesota Lawyer, a widely respected trade journal for Minnesota’s legal profession.
“In POWER 30, we have focused on those whose mere presence on a case signifies the stakes, who have influenced the direction of the law, whose leadership in the community is pervasive and whose respect within the bar is undeniable,” Minnesota Lawyer wrote. Selections result from deep reporting by the publication’s editorial team, which includes interviews with respected attorneys and others around the state. The editors also review the outcomes of significant cases handled by the nominees.
“It is very gratifying to receive recognition like this for a job you love to do so much,” said Carey, who started clerking for the firm in 1983 while in law school and has worked there ever since. “I know it may sound a little corny to some, but nothing is more satisfying to me than helping people and their families recover from life-changing injuries by protecting their legal rights. Hopefully, recognitions like these mean I’ve succeeded,” he said.
Carey specializes in cases involving auto accidents, wrongful death, nursing home negligence and abuse, and catastrophic personal injury. He has a reputation for winning significant verdicts and sits on the American Board of Trial Advocates, an elite organization of accomplished trial attorneys. In addition, Carey is certified as a Civil Trial Specialist by both the National Board of Trial Advocacy and the Minnesota State Bar Association. This distinction is awarded to fewer than 2% of all Minnesota’s personal injury attorneys.
Carey received his Bachelor of Arts degree from St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minn., in 1982 and his Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul, Minn., in 1987 (now the Mitchell Hamline School of Law). Carey grew up on Minnesota’s Iron Range in Biwabik, Minn. Today, he and his wife Molly reside in Edina and enjoy regular visits from their three children and four grandchildren.
