Thomas LaGreca is an attorney with the firm, licensed to practice in New York, but he does not litigate or arbitrate claims on behalf of the firm. Rather, as the Executive Director of Healthcare Recovery at Callagy Recovery, he focuses primarily on business development and our relationships with medical providers. These responsibilities span all three categories of claims against insurance carriers—PIP, Workers’ Compensation and Commercial Insurance.
After graduating from law school in 1983, Mr. LaGreca worked as a litigator for the large Wall Street Law Firm Dewey Ballantine. There, he worked on large antitrust and construction litigation matters. From Dewey Ballantine, he went to NYNEX Corp., now Verizon, as a Regulatory Attorney, arguing on behalf of NYNEX and its subsidiaries before the New York Public Service Commission. After several years, he decided to leave the practice of law and start his own business.
So, in 1990, he became the co-owner of a commercial flooring business, dealing mainly with large commercial flooring projects in Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs. The business quickly grew into a multi-million-dollar construction enterprise, with clientele and projects that included Carnegie Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lennox Hill Hospital and NYU Langone Medical Center, as well as New York University. After more than 20 years in the New York City construction industry, Mr. LaGreca joined Callagy Law in the beginning of 2012.
Mr. LaGreca’s background in both the law and business provides him with the ability to grasp the legal issues surrounding healthcare recovery, while at the same time understanding the business and financial challenges faced by the medical industry. Moreover, his experience on Wall Street as an attorney and in the very rough-and-tumble atmosphere of New York City construction has provided him with a work ethic difficult to surpass in the worlds of the law or business. For these reasons, he rightfully regards himself as:
