Founder

Anthony T. DiPietro, Esq.

Anthony T. DiPietro, Esq is a trial attorney and founder of The DiPietro Law Firm, with offices in New York City, Philadelphia, and Salt Lake City.

He’s been recognized as one of the country’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, and one of the Top 10 Trial Attorneys for Women’s Rights.

Mr. DiPietro’s professional work has also appeared on national television stations including CNN, ABC, CBS, as well as all major print media outlets including New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, and New York Magazine.

For over 20 years, Anthony has committed himself to litigating cases against major corporate institutions including hospitals, medical clinics, schools, and other wrongdoers.

DiPietro has repeatedly been recognized as achieving the highest verdicts and settlements in the State of New York, securing hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for his clients, in a wide variety of cases involving:

  • Sexual assault;
  • Birth injury;
  • Medical malpractice;
  • Wrongful death;
  • Brain injury; and
  • Other catastrophic injuries caused by negligence

The DiPietro Law Firm has been the leader of the civil lawsuits against Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

These lawsuits have resulted in two verdicts worth over $236 million in compensation for DiPietro’s clients—the women sexually abused by serial predator Robert Hadden.

Further, The DiPietro Law Firm has helped pass four separate laws in New York that provide victims and survivors with a path to justice – including the Adult Survivors Act and the Gender Motivated Violence Act.

Mr. DiPietro is currently accepting clients for another round of lawsuits against Columbia University and Robert Hadden. 

He is also partnering with the Utah law firm Gross & Rooney on cases involving predator David H. Broadbent, an OBGYN who exploited and abused patients for decades under the guise of medical care and treatment.
