Tom Teodori is driven by a simple belief: seriously injured people deserve a relentless trial lawyer who won’t let insurance companies define the value of his clients’ injuries. He became a trial lawyer to stand up for ordinary families against powerful insurance companies, using the civil justice system to uncover the truth, demand accountability, and secure the full measure of compensation his clients need to rebuild and get on with their lives. Every case he takes is personal, and his work is guided by preparation, integrity, and a commitment to ensuring his clients’ voices are heard, to fair treatment under the law, and to making our clients and the community safer.
He is a dedicated personal injury attorney focusing on car crashes, slip and falls, negligent security, and truck accidents . With extensive trial experience, he has successfully handled nearly 100 jury trials.
When not advocating on behalf of his clients, Tom enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, skiing, mountain biking, golfing, fishing, hiking, scuba diving, swimming, and pretty much just being outdoors. He also played hockey and coached thousands of youth hockey games when his children were younger.
