About Thomas P.
Thomas P. Cleere attended St. John’s University School of Law. He completed his legal studies there and entered practice prepared to work in two of the Northeast’s busy legal markets. That education provided his foundation in doctrine and procedure, and it set the course for a career that crosses state lines.
Early in his career he gained admission to practice in both Massachusetts and New York. Those dual admissions allow him to accept matters that touch both states. Over time he has built a practice that relies on that flexibility. He has worked on matters that require attention to differing procedural rules and local court practices, and he has moved clients through those systems on their behalf.
Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic. He tends to approach problems in straightforward terms. He pays attention to deadlines and jurisdictional nuances. That practical orientation matters in multi-jurisdiction work, where a missed filing or a procedural mismatch can change the course of a case. He has navigated those challenges routinely as part of his daily practice.
Today he is an attorney at Cellino Law. He handles matters that arise in New York and Massachusetts courts. His work involves coordinating filings, meeting local requirements, and advising clients about where and how to press claims or defenses. He balances the procedural demands of two state systems and seeks outcomes that reflect the realities of each courtroom and each judge.
Outside the courtroom and office, he maintains professional connections in the bar. Those ties inform how he handles local practice and how he prepares cases for trial or settlement. He stays current on rules and court developments in the jurisdictions where he is licensed. He applies that knowledge directly in client work.
At Cellino Law he continues to accept matters that require representation in both New York and Massachusetts. He practices law at Cellino Law, handling client matters across New York and Massachusetts.
