What SWARTZ CULLETON, PC does

Swartz Culleton, PC (operating as Swartz Culleton Ferris) is a Pennsylvania-based plaintiff-side personal injury and workers' compensation law firm founded in 2008 by Brandon A. Swartz and Christopher J. Culleton. The firm serves individual injury victims across Pennsylvania and New Jersey from three office locations: its Newtown, PA headquarters, a Newtown Annex office, and a Pittsburgh office opened in 2018 under managing attorney Anthony J. Giannetti. Its practice spans a broad portfolio of personal injury sub-specialties — medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, premises liability, products liability, dram shop claims, professional malpractice, nursing home negligence, and ERISA-governed long-term disability — alongside a dedicated workers' compensation department chaired by certified specialist Todd M. Felzer and a Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist and Bad Faith Litigation department led by Maria K. McGinty-Ferris.

The firm's core "technology" is conventional plaintiff-side litigation tooling: legal practice management and case management systems supporting contingency-fee case handling. Intake is driven by a trademarked, category-defining consumer brand asset — the 1-800-JUSTICE® hotline — supplemented by SEO-optimized practice-area pages, a publications blog, YouTube testimonials, an American Justice Radio Network podcast presence on WWDB AM 860, and earned-media coverage including CBS News. The marketing motion is direct-to-consumer across the PA/NJ footprint, with no intermediary channels or referral partners disclosed.

The business model is a hybrid of contingency-fee personal injury representation (clients pay no fees absent recovery; the firm earns a percentage of settlement or verdict) and workers' compensation representation (which may be billed on hourly or alternative arrangements for contested claims). Free initial consultations are offered across all intake channels. The firm is a founder-owned professional corporation with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding; growth has been financed entirely through operating cash flow and partner capital. Reported case results include a $12.5M jury verdict (2003), a $6.5M products liability settlement, a $3M med-mal settlement, a $1.895M gas-explosion settlement, and a $644K trip-and-fall verdict (largest in Allegheny County in 2024), with managing partner Giannetti having secured more than $40M in lifetime settlements and verdicts.
