Up Close And Personal

When it comes to workers' compensation cases in Pittsburgh, a lot of folks think of Gary Scoulos. He's experienced, skilled, and respected by practitioners in this highly specialized area of the law, and since 1996 he has been the partner in charge of Meyer Darragh's workers' compensation practice, helping clients minimize their costs when employees claim injuries on the job. Gary also defends companies, property owners, and automobile drivers and their insurers against personal injury and property damage claims, but "workers' comp" has become his principal beat.

A native of the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Gary was a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Pittsburgh where he double-majored in political science and philosophy. He earned his law degree cum laude from that same university in 1987, after serving as note editor of the Law Review. He joined Meyer Darragh after law school, becoming a partner in 1995. Gary is also a partner in a real estate development company, gaining some firsthand business experience.

Gary has litigated or negotiated resolutions to hundreds of workers' compensation claims at every level of Pennsylvania's administrative and court system. He has represented dozens of entities, including government agencies, private sector employers, self-insured employers, third-party administrators, commercial insurance carriers, and workers' compensation trusts. So it's not surprising that he is an approved attorney for the Pittsburgh Housing Authority, the Allegheny County Port Authority, and Penn Prime's Workers' Compensation Trust which functions as an insurance company for municipalities which have pooled their workers' compensation liabilities.

Professionally, Gary is a member of the Pittsburgh Claims Association and the workers' compensation sections of both the Pennsylvania and Allegheny County Bar Associations. He has also taught a course on "The Basics of Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law" at Robert Morris College.

Gary, his wife, Lisa, and their children live in the South Hills where Gary is co-captain of his local deck hockey team and commissioner of a South Hills rotisserie baseball league.
