After working in two larger firms in the Pittsburgh area, Chad recently started the Shannon Law Group to provide more personalized services to his clients. He believes in helping the most vulnerable in our society.
Over the past twenty years, Chad has handled a wide variety of cases in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, including nursing home and hospital injuries, civil rights, medical malpractice, premises liability, auto accidents, slip and falls, products liability, oil and gas injuries, asbestos cases, and railroad collisions. He’s obtained significant results for many clients throughout his career including several multi-million-dollar settlements.
He also holds the largest nursing home verdict in Pittsburgh (Allegheny County), a $400,000 victory on behalf of the family who lost their loved one to negligence. However, he may be most proud of his work in Marlene Thrower, as the Administratrix of the Estate of Csilisa Whitehead v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania et al. (873 F. Supp. 2d 651 (W.D. Pa. 2012)), where he assisted in extending civil rights causes of action to the mentally disabled for injuries sustained while in a state-run facility.
Chad has been a Pennsylvania Rising Star and Super Lawyer and is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the United States District Courts for the Western District of Pennsylvania and the Southern District of West Virginia.
Beyond his work in the law, Chad is an award-winning short film director and writer and a published author. His first book, The Best Seven Years of My Life: The Story of an Unlikely Caregiver was featured in the New York Times on February 14, 2019.
Chad spends his spare time in the outdoors as much as possible, hiking, skiing, and traveling. He also welcomes any film or book suggestions you might have. His favorite book in the past five years is The Overstory by Richard Powers.

Product Liability
When a company makes or sells products that you use – including cars, home appliances, tools, prescription drugs, toys, and sports equipment – they must make these products reasonably safe for your use. Further, they must properly warn you when something may not be safe. When companies make and sell defective products that injure you, Shannon Law Group can help.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors and practitioners must provide care and treatment to us that is within the standard of care – a legal term that means they must act reasonably. Examples include sending you to a specialist promptly, making good healthcare decisions based on your lab results, not causing you harm with an incorrect prescription, making sure you are cleared for surgery, and then properly performing surgeries. When they don’t do so, people get hurt. When you or someone has been injured by a medical provider’s failures, Shannon Law Group can help.
