Colleen (Ni Chairmhaic) Kerwick sees the practice of law as an art-form and a craft. She is a graduate of Speech and Drama with the Leinster School of Music; a founder member of the Young Irish Film Makers in Kilkenny City and a represented actor with the agency that discovered Christopher Walken and Denis Hopper. She played the lead role in many independent feature length films. She turned down further opportunities in Hollywood, in favor of using her skill and craft in the Courtroom. Colleen serves as special NY Trial Counsel to New York City Entertainment Law Firms where she will accept a complex case for Trial or a tricky Motion. She has tried cases to verdict, with success. She handles complex trials and tricky motions on a project by project basis for other attorneys in tort cases, but does not accept any tort cases. Colleen handles all aspects of CORPORATE FRAUD, CONTRACT DISPUTE and BREACH OF CONTRACT for ENTERTAINMENT LAW clients only. Colleen may offer to accept reduced or deferred compensation on cases she strongly believes in.

Colleen (Ni Chairmhaic) Kerwick believes that an attorney who works too many hours is either inefficient and bad at their job or offers less quality hours to their clients. In her free time, Colleen enjoys outdoor pursuits, hiking, art, music and spending time with her ten year old son Nicholas and their pets – a beloved cocker spaniel dog, an ocicat, a guinea pig, a fish and, from time to time, bees,  ladybugs, butterflies and praying mantis.
