Thomas P. Fay

Thomas P. Fay is an Associate in Tyson & Mendes’ Los Angeles office, where he is a member of a multi-attorney team defending a wide range of civil matters. His practice focuses on personal injury and wrongful death defense, as well as representing private and public entities in cases involving sexual abuse and harassment, including child abuse and sexual assault, workplace discrimination and retaliation, product liability, and motor vehicle accidents.

Mr. Fay has secured numerous favorable outcomes for his clients across California, including successful motions for summary judgment, motions for judgment on the pleadings, and motions to dismiss.

He has resolved multiple personal injury claims for nuisance value and recently prevailed on a motion to dismiss a Fourth Amendment civil rights case in the Ninth Circuit, sparing a Bay Area client the burden of appeal.
