About Thomas Matthew
Thomas Matthew Reardon built a legal foundation at Fairfield University, where he earned a B.S. in Finance in 1982. He went on to receive his J.D. from the University of Dayton School of Law in 1987. Those early years combined business training and legal study, a mix that shaped the practical approach he brings to his cases.
He entered private practice after law school and established himself in New Jersey. Records show he has been a member of the New Jersey State Bar since 1991. He served as a partner at Bolan Jahnsen Reardon beginning in 1996. In 2009 he helped form Reardon Anderson, LLC, where he continues to work as a partner. The partnership moves mark long stretches in firm leadership and steady practice in the region.
Reardon is admitted to practice in both New Jersey and New York. Over the years he has maintained memberships in professional groups that reflect his courtroom and defense work. He holds current memberships in the Transportation Lawyers Association and the New Jersey Defense Association. His continuing engagement with these organizations suggests ongoing contact with peers and developments in defense practice and transportation law.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and practical in preparing cases. He handles matters that typically arise from commercial disputes, personal injury claims, and transportation-related incidents. He has experience managing cases through investigation, discovery, negotiation and trial. He often represents corporate and individual clients in contested matters before state courts in New Jersey and New York.
His finance background informs how he evaluates damages and loss calculations. That combination of financial literacy and courtroom experience shapes settlement discussions and litigation strategy. He has worked on cases that required coordinating experts, dealing with insurance carriers, and addressing regulatory aspects that touch on commerce and transportation.
Outside the courtroom, Reardon’s professional life centers on his law firm responsibilities. At Reardon Anderson, LLC he supervises case teams and handles client intake for complex matters. His practice has evolved through decades of litigation work, but the through-line remains steady: practical legal representation in dispute settings.
He currently practices from Reardon Anderson, LLC and focuses his practice on civil defense and transportation-related litigation in New Jersey and New York.
