TBased on years of experience, Thomas J. Donlon primarily focusses his practice on appeals. He has successfully briefed and argued appeals in many of the federal Courts of Appeals as well as the highest appellate courts in Connecticut and New York. These appeals have covered wide range of issues in multi-million dollar cases involving religious discrimination, bankruptcy, health care, insurance, employment, construction, land use and environment. Tom regularly appears in the Second Circuit where he won a unanimous decision overturning a verdict of religious discrimination, which he subsequently defended against a petition for certiorari.
Tom also assists with trials in complex litigation cases across the country, providing legal analysis, brief writing and argument. These have involved numerous and varied issues, most recently dealing with defense of municipalities against claims of violations of religious liberty and representing asbestos victims in bankruptcy matters.
