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 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 liability pools.
Professionally, Gary is a member of the workers' compensation
sections of both the Pennsylvania and Allegheny County Bar
Associations, and a member of the workers’ compensation practice
group of the American Law Firm Association. In the past, he taught a
course on "The Basics of Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law" at
Robert Morris College.
Gary, his wife, Lisa, and their three children live in the South
Hills of Pittsburgh where Gary was born and raised. When not engaged
in professional activity, Gary enjoys spending time with his family
and playing hockey, golf, and the guitar. |
