Thomas W. Harrity,                           Esquire

     Mr. Harrity has been a trial lawyer since 1994 specializing in civil litigation. He has extensive major jury trial experience in prosecution and defense of personal injury matters. However, his experience is wide ranging as he has expertise in general liability, product and professional liability, property damage liability, subrogation, insurance defense, workers compensation, breach of contract, consumer protection, employment and family law, and criminal defense.

     Mr. Harrity has handled thousands of matters throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey and has tried cases in both state and federal court. In addition, he has appellate experience, having argued before the Pennsylvania Superior Court and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Harrity has published cases to his credit, most notably one authored by former Justice Cirillo that sets the standard for the effect of a non-suit or non pros under Pa. R.C.P. 218 when a party fails to appear ready at trial. See Jamison vs. Johnson, 762 A.2d 3 (2001).

     Prior to establishing The Law Offices of Thomas W. Harrity, LLC in January 2003, Mr. Harrity worked for several private law firms, primarily defending individuals and corporations in a variety of liability matters.
