Louis F. Tumolo

Louis Tumolo is a Philadelphia trial attorney who has spent his career fighting for victims — first as a homicide prosecutor in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, and now as a plaintiff's attorney representing the catastrophically injured. His practice focuses on cases involving life-altering, permanent injuries such as traumatic brain injury, paralysis, and cerebral palsy — injuries that require a lifetime of costly medical care and demand a lawyer who will fight for every dollar of it.

Lou has been named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Rising Star every year from 2019 to 2026, an honor reserved for the top 2.5% of attorneys under 40 in the state, based on peer nominations and committee review.

Appeared in National Television Documentaries

Lou has appeared in three nationally distributed documentary productions covering high-profile Philadelphia cases:

• 72 Seconds in Rittenhouse Square (Paramount+, 2023) — covering the fatal Rittenhouse Square stabbing case
• Philly D.A. (PBS Independent Lens, 2021) — the acclaimed docuseries on the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office
• Mother Undercover (ABC News/Hulu, 2023) — profiling mothers who sought justice in high-profile Philadelphia cases

Homicide Prosecutor, Philadelphia District Attorney's Office

Before joining The Beasley Firm, Lou served in the Homicide Unit of the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, where he was entrusted with some of the city's most high-profile and complex murder prosecutions — including the murder of a uniformed Philadelphia police officer and the fatal stabbing in Rittenhouse Square. That courtroom experience — building airtight cases under intense public scrutiny — now shapes how he prepares and tries civil cases on behalf of injured clients.

Notable Results

Since joining The Beasley Firm in 2018, Lou has recovered millions of dollars in compensation for clients who suffered catastrophic, life-changing injuries. Highlights include:

• Multi-million-dollar settlement for a child who suffered a severe hypoxic brain injury at birth, causing global cognitive and physical deficits. Reached after days of trial and expert testimony proving an emergent C-section was medically necessary and that the hospital's delay directly caused the child's injuries.
• Multi-million-dollar settlement for a child with cerebral palsy caused by negligent labor and delivery management. Lou identified substandard obstetrical care and exposed a physician for a fraudulent medical record entry.
• $3.5 million jury verdict (2023) for a client who suffered a near-fatal heart attack due to his primary care physician's negligence. The physician denied liability and the insurer refused to offer any settlement; Lou took the case to trial and won. (Coverage: The Legal Intelligencer)

Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Lou earned his J.D. from Rutgers School of Law – Camden and his undergraduate degree from Saint Joseph's University.

Outside the courtroom, Lou serves on the board of directors of Programs Employing People, a nonprofit serving individuals with intellectual disabilities through education, recreation, vocational training, and job placement.

Lou is a member of the Philadelphia Bar Association, the Justinian Society, and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and before the Eastern, Middle, and Western U.S. District Courts of Pennsylvania and the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey.
