Taylor's Biography

Taylor Connolly is a trial lawyer whose courtroom experience includes securing favorable jury verdicts for his clients in seven-figure, catastrophic damage disputes. While having spent the first decade of his career as a defense attorney for one of the largest insurance defense firms in the Midwest, Taylor now devotes his trial practice exclusively to advocating for injury victims both in Missouri and Kansas.

As a defense lawyer, Taylor was awarded a variety of accolades for trial accomplishments, including being selected as a Benchmark Litigation Future Star in 2025, Benchmark 40 & Under List (2024), selected to Rising Stars by Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers from 2018-2025, and presented with the Up & Coming Award by Missouri Lawyers Weekly in 2023. However, trial victories for insurance companies were outweighed by Taylor’s compassion for those suffering life-altering injuries – leading Taylor to now use his trial experience and passion for litigation to representing those most in need of a fearless courtroom advocate.

A Kansas City native, Taylor earned bachelor’s degrees in both Spanish and Criminology from Kansas State University, graduating summa cum laude, before attending the oldest law school in the United States, William & Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia and graduating cum laude with his JD. Crediting William & Mary’s trial team for fostering his passion for trial practice, Taylor continues to support local trial advocacy teams and mock-trial competitions whenever he can.

Outside of the courtroom, Taylor is a proud father of three children and enjoys sharing his appreciation for classic, fantasy literature, comic book lore, and trading card games with his kids. Taylor likewise dedicates his time to charitable organizations, including as a 3rd Degree member of the local Knights of Columbus council at his parish, Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
