Prior to joining The Law Offices of Melissa A. Day, Tom worked for Special Funds Conservation Committee for 23 years. During his tenure at Special Funds, Tom defended the interests of the Fund at thousands of workers’ compensation hearings. During that time, Tom was also manager of the Albany office of Special Funds for two years and manager of the Buffalo office of Special Funds for eight years. During his time in management, and as a hearing representative, Tom gained valuable experience in claims analysis, litigation, legal research and writing, negotiation and resolution of issues. Over the years, Tom has worked closely and developed a strong working relationship with insurance carriers and their legal counsel as well as claimant’s attorneys.
