Tom Warner co-chairs the firm’s special education department, where he focuses primarily on the representation of numerous Pennsylvania school districts in matters of special education. While he devotes much of his practice to special education litigation at the administrative and appellate levels, he also spends a significant amount of time providing in-service training to school districts regarding various matters, including the development of defensible special education programming and confidentiality/disclosure issues involving education records.
He also frequently presents at conferences focused on special education legal issues. Tom has served as a co-chair of the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Exceptional Children’s Conference committee since 2016. In that capacity, his primary role is planning the annual Exceptional Children’s Conference, where members of the special education law bar gather yearly to sharpen their skills during a full day of continuing legal education.
Prior to joining the firm, Tom served as a law clerk for a small firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and interned for the Allegheny County Law Department. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in the Baltimore suburbs, and now resides with his wife and three children in Bucks County.
