Anthony Joseph Giannetti

Anthony Giannetti leads the Pittsburgh office of Swartz Culleton Ferris, which he opened in 2018. He has built a thriving practice focused on serious personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation. Anthony has secured more than 40 million dollars in settlements and verdicts for his clients and is known for winning difficult cases. Bartlett v. PWSA, GD 20-7886 (Allegheny County). Anthony served as first-chair trial counsel and won a $644,524.85 jury verdict in a fall-down case, despite a final defense offer of just $10,000.00. The result was the largest trip-and-fall verdict in Allegheny County in 2024, and the third-largest verdict against a governmental entity in Pennsylvania that year (per Verdict Search). McGuire v. Nationwide, No. 23-1347 (W.D. Pa.). Anthony won a landmark summary-judgment ruling against Nationwide. The case challenged Nationwide’s “One Product Policy” initiative, which affected 300,000 policyholders in Pennsylvania. Nationwide claimed that the initiative was merely a renewal of prior auto insurance policies—and thus did not require the execution of new sign-down forms. Judge Nicholas Ranjan rejected that argument, finding that the so-called renewal policy materially reduced coverage and was therefore a new policy of insurance. The decision has statewide implications for over 300,000 policyholders whose coverage may have been reduced without proper notice or waivers. The case was featured in The Legal Intelligencer for its potential to reshape how insurers in Pennsylvania implement broad policy revisions. Kolhmeyer v. Renewal, Inc., GD-21-8818 (Allegheny County). Anthony secured a confidential settlement for a minor who was sexually assaulted at a recovery house. The case was covered by local media and drew significant public attention. This is believed to be the first case in Pennsylvania recognizing a duty owed to the public by entities performing level-of-care assessments on admittees to recovery houses.
