Over the course of Gary Dadamo’s career, he has represented public entities, school districts and corporations in a variety of litigation matters in both state and federal courts. He now represents and defends school districts in all aspects of litigation involving claims for civil rights violations, general liability matters, and labor and employment issues, such as employment discrimination, retaliation, and violations of federal laws, including the Family Medical Leave Act and Fair Labor Standards Act.
Mr. Dadamo routinely defends school districts, boards and directors against First and Fourteenth Amendment claims involving novel and complex legal issues. His recent accomplishments include successfully defending against claims of sexual contact by a teacher, claims of bullying and assault of a student, and a student’s claim of retaliation arising from a school district’s response to complaints made by a student.
After receiving his law degree, he served as the judicial law clerk for the Honorable Bruce F. Batton of the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County. During law school, he was a judicial intern for Chief Justice Ralph Cappy of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court as well as the Honorable Maureen Lally-Green of the Pennsylvania Superior Court.
