About Joseph F.
Joseph F. Kilada earned his J.D. from Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center in 2000. He completed legal studies at a time when the New York bar and federal courts were seeing an increase in complex civil litigation. The law school credential set the stage for a practice that has centered on courtroom work and appellate appearances.
After graduating, Kilada moved into private practice. He is listed as a lawyer at The Law Office of Joseph Kilada, P.C., and he also appears associated with Joseph Kilada, P.C. His career has been organized around representing clients in contested matters and arguing cases in court. Over the years he has handled trials and appeals, representing individuals before state and federal tribunals.
Kilada is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the courts of New York. Those admissions allow him to carry matters to federal appellate courts and, when necessary, to seek review at the highest level. He has experience preparing appellate briefs, arguing in court, and managing litigation through trial and post-trial stages. Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who prefers clear, direct arguments in court and careful preparation out of it.
Outside the courtroom he has taken on organizational roles. He has been a chapter president of the American Trial Lawyers Association and remains an active member of that group. That role involved coordinating local attorney activities and programming for trial lawyers. He also maintains memberships in other professional associations. Those connections have informed his practice and provided a forum for exchanging trial technique and appellate strategy.
Kilada’s practice rests on two office names that appear in public listings: The Law Office of Joseph Kilada, P.C., and Joseph Kilada, P.C. He structures work through those entities and appears regularly on dockets in New York and federal courts within the Second Circuit. He represents clients in matters that require litigation and appellate advocacy and continues to accept cases through his firm.
As of 2026 he continues to practice law through his firm and remains active in trial lawyer circles. His current practice focuses on litigation and appellate work handled through Joseph Kilada, P.C. and The Law Office of Joseph Kilada, P.C.
