My law practice has focused on workers' compensation matters for the past 28 years. I have represented individuals, partnerships and corporations in the litigation of claims and employer petitions. My experience includes participation in appeals before the Workers' Comp Appeal Board, Commonwealth Court and Supreme Court. Forty of these cases resulted in reported decisions, with another 40+ resulting in unreported decisions.. We consult with employers and insurers to pursue remedies available in claim, modification, suspension and termination petitions. We recommend a "best practices" strategy for pre-injury and post-injury legal issues. A proactive approach is consistent with our client's goal to handle disability claims in an efficient and cost effective manner. We know when to litigate. We know when to settle.. Workers Compenation in Pennsylvania requires a detailed knowledge of the statutes, regulations and appellate case decisions. There are a good deal of appellate cases which interprete and add nuances to the law. A successful workers' comp program includes an experienced attorney as a business partner.

I have been working at Thomas E. Crenney & Associates, LLC for over 16 years.  I started out as a litigation paralegal and attended law school at night to get my law degree.  I have attended every single trial since the day I started working in the office.  This was the best education I could receive as a personal injury litigation lawyer.. I enjoy talking to the clients and making sure that they understand the process and are comfortable with what our law firm is trying to accomplish for them in their case.. I have handled auto accident, slip and fall, medical malpractice and defective product cases.. Tom, James and I make an excellent trial team as we all have different skills that compliment each other.. I like to give back to young lawyers as an adjunct professor at Duquesne Law School taking students to compete in trial advocacy competitions.  It is a lot of work but is a very effective way to learn how to be a trial lawyer.  I competed on several teams when I was at Duquesne and enjoy teaching young lawyers.
