Ted is a senior associate focusing his practice on appellate matters and complex trial court issues. Drawing on his experience clerking for Judge D. Michael Fisher of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Ted has briefed numerous cases in the federal courts of appeal and state appellate courts in Pennsylvania, Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. Ted has argued appeals at both the intermediate appellate and state supreme court levels, including the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, where his advocacy was commended, as well as the entire 17-judge Virginia Court of Appeals after petitioning the full court to hear the case en banc. Additionally, Ted has represented clients in the U.S. Supreme Court, both in petitioning for a writ of certiorari and preparing amicus briefs.
Alongside his appellate work, Ted supports trial teams with briefing complex legal issues in dispositive motions, post-trial briefing, and other matters. His experience covers a variety of areas, including class actions, managed care and ERISA, the False Claims Act, governmental investigations, products liability, financial services, insurance recovery, intellectual property, data breach litigation, and general commercial litigation.
A champion for pro bono work, Ted has proudly handled immigration appeals, veterans’ rights cases, death penalty litigation, and secured precedent-setting victories protecting the constitutional rights of those incarcerated.
