Background

About William J. Gallitto

As a member of the civil litigation practice group at Bergen Parkinson, William represents individuals, partnerships, corporations, and other business entities in a wide variety of civil disputes. His practice primarily focuses on personal injury, employment, and estate/probate cases. William also has two niche specialty practice areas involving toxic torts (asbestos, mesothelioma and medical devices) and transportation/towing litigation cases. William’s distinct perspective as a litigator has been shaped by his work with judges, plaintiffs, and defendants. After graduating from law school, William served as a Judicial Fellow for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Superior Court, where he worked directly with a number of judges to draft written opinions, orders, jury instructions, memoranda, as well as conduct extensive legal research in a variety of civil and criminal cases. He also attended and assisted judges at pre-trial conferences, oral arguments and at trial. In addition to serving as a Judicial Fellow, William worked in Boston at one of New England’s largest plaintiff law firms, Thornton & Naumes, where he represented victims of toxic exposures, primarily victims of asbestos exposure who developed mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. William is admitted to the bars of the Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut state and federal courts.
