Todd Bowlus

A partner in the firm, Todd grew up in Whitaker Boro, just outside of Pittsburgh.  He attended Pittsburgh’s famed Central Catholic High School.  Following high school, after being drafted to play Junior “A” hockey, Mr. Bowlus spent three years playing for teams in the U.S. and Canada.  Mr. Bowlus resumed his academic study at The State University of New York at Fredonia and then received his law degree from The University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 2002.

Having joined the firm in 2003, Mr. Bowlus quickly acquired extensive experience conducting discovery, drafting and arguing various motions, and working with fact and expert witnesses. 

In 2008, Mr. Bowlus was named in a survey of his peers as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine. Rising Stars are selected based on nominations by members of the elite Pennsylvania Super Lawyers list. This distinction was given to less than 2.5% of all lawyers in Pennsylvania. Mr. Bowlus has since been annually named a Super Lawyer, a peer influenced and research driven selection, by the same publication.

Mr. Bowlus is also a member of the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County. The Academy, which has a limited membership, is an invitation only organization comprised of the most respected trial attorneys in Allegheny County. He is also a member of both The Million Dollar Advocates Forum and The Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. The Million Dollar Advocates Forum is one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Less than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.

He obtained the first verdict for a patient in a medical malpractice case in Westmoreland County in nine years and it is believed that he obtained the highest birth injury settlement (eight figures) in the history of Beaver County.   Most importantly, Todd has a reputation as a competitive, fierce, and determined advocate for his clients – many of whom he has retained long lasting friendships with well after their cases have resolved.

Mr. Bowlus has handled and/or tried cases in numerous Pennsylvania counties including Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Clearfield, Crawford, Fayette, Greene, Lawrence, Mercer, McKean, Mifflin, Washington, and Westmoreland. He also is admitted to practice law in the State of West Virginia and has handled cases in various counties throughout the State.

Mr. Bowlus resides in the South Hills with his wife, Jodi, their daughter, Cameron, and sons, Tyler and Brody.  He is a member of St. Rita’s Parish in Munhall.  In his spare time, Mr. Bowlus has been involved with his daughter in the YMCA Y Princess program, is a volunteer hockey coach in the Pens Elite organization, and enjoys watching his kids play volleyball, hockey, and lacrosse.
