Bio

A founding member of the firm, Tom Flaherty focuses his practice on personal injury defense and commercial civil litigation. What makes him stand out? “A blue-collar work ethic learned from my father and 42 years of trial and appellate experience.” Tom has a proven track record and is well respected by judges and peers on both sides of the bar. He describes his style of service as “diligent, prepared, responsive, efficient and effective with great attention to detail.” A thinker and sharp strategist, Tom has represented multiple Fortune 100 companies, three West Virginia governors, and four justices of the West Virginia Supreme Court, all in separate matters. He has successfully argued multiple cases before the West Virginia Supreme Court and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. “I’ve tried more than 100 cases to verdict and won well over 90% of them. I’m passionate about figuring out the best way to get desired results for my clients.” Outside the courtroom, Tom is chair of the WVU Board of Governors and Chairman of Brickstreet Mutual Insurance Company and three wholly-owned subsidiaries. He’s been listed in The Best Lawyers in America for more than 20 years – longer than any other West Virginia personal injury defense attorney. He has also been rated #1 for the past seven years by West Virginia Super Lawyers. In addition, Tom has co-chaired the Campaign for Legal Aid in West Virginia and currently serves as co-chair of the Capital Campaign for the Ronald McDonald House.
