About Thomas Stavola
Thomas Stavola Jr. took a steady path into law that began in classrooms outside the courtroom. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education and General Science from Villanova University in 2013. He stayed in the academic orbit long enough to add an MBA in Accounting from Monmouth University in 2016. He completed his legal training at Rutgers School of Law–Camden, receiving his J.D. in 2021.
After law school, Stavola built a practice that moves between trial-level cases and appellate work. He is admitted to practice in several federal and state jurisdictions, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the D.C. Circuit, the 1st and 3rd Circuits, and the United States Court of Federal Claims. Those admissions reflect a mix of civil litigation and federal litigation matters in his portfolio.
His membership activity tracks that mix. He holds current memberships in the Association of the Federal Bar of New Jersey and the Monmouth Bar Association. He has been a member of the State Bar of New Jersey since 2022. Those affiliations put him alongside lawyers who handle government litigation, administrative law, and federal appeals.
Stavola’s office is the Law Office of Thomas Stavola, Jr., LLC. The firm’s practice handles a range of matters that touch both state and federal systems. He prepares pleadings, argues motions, and appears in court when cases require an attorney at trial or on appeal. The practice profile suggests steady courtroom work and filings across multiple jurisdictions rather than a single niche.
Colleagues and court filings show an attorney who balances procedural work and substantive advocacy. He handles administrative filings and briefs in federal courts, and he engages in civil litigation in state courts when matters fall there. The ability to operate in appellate circuits and the Court of Federal Claims indicates familiarity with federal rules and the particular demands of federal litigation.
Outside casework, his academic background in education and accounting informs how he approaches client issues. The combination of a liberal arts bachelor’s degree, an MBA, and a J.D. creates a toolkit for matters that may require analysis of records, financial details, and complex regulatory frameworks.
Today he practices from the Law Office of Thomas Stavola, Jr., LLC, representing clients in federal and state matters, including litigation and appeals. His current practice focuses on civil and federal litigation across the jurisdictions where he is admitted to practice.
