Thomas F Shebell

For more than three decades, Tom Shebell has stood up for injured people across New Jersey—treating every case like it’s the most important one on his desk. A third-generation trial lawyer, he brings a rare mix of courtroom experience and human empathy to catastrophic injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, product liability, construction and premises liability cases. Tom’s path started early in Monmouth County courtrooms, continued through a clerkship with a New Jersey Supreme Court Justice, and accelerated at a Red Bank trial firm where he tried over fifty jury cases in just a few years. Since then he has taken 80+ jury trials to verdict in courts throughout the state. He is designated by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney—a recognition held by only a small percentage of lawyers—reflecting proven skill, substantial trial involvement, and peer and judicial endorsement. Clients value Tom’s straight talk and relentless preparation. He builds cases the right way: lock down facts early, document injuries with respected medical experts, anticipate defense tactics, and negotiate from a position of strength—always ready for trial if that’s what justice requires. He also understands injury from the inside out; after a serious cycling crash in 2001 and numerous surgeries, he knows what pain, recovery, and uncertainty feel like. That perspective drives his commitment to dignified, responsive representation. At the core of Tom’s practice is accountability. When negligence steals health or independence, the civil justice system offers one lawful remedy—compensation to balance the harm and deter future misconduct. Tom fights to secure full and fair results for his clients while treating each person with the respect he expects for his own family. If you’re looking for a New Jersey personal injury trial lawyer with deep experience, real compassion, and the will to try your case, Tom Shebell is ready to help you move forward.
