TonaLaw, established in 2001 by Thomas Tona, has finally found its permanent home in Islip after serving the Long Island and Greater Downstate New York communities from various Suffolk County-based locations over the last two decades. Mr. Tona has been fighting on behalf of accident injury victims since 1994 and started expanding his practice in 2001 to represent health care providers whose bills for no-fault treatment were wrongly denied by the insurance carriers.

As he built the business from one man with a laptop to a fully staffed law firm, Mr. Tona instilled a client-centered culture. This means his firm prioritizes the convenience, comfort and needs of the client, whether that requires adapting to modern digital communication channels or building an office that properly accommodates all types of accessibility needs.

It was in observing injustice from insurance providers that Thomas recognized ordinary people cannot get the treatment, coverage or proper financial recoveries they are entitled to without the assistance of a legal professional. “If plaintiffs attempt to represent themselves, or if they simply rely on insurance carriers to appropriately 'do the right thing,' they will likely be disappointed in the outcome,” says Tona.

When asked why he dedicates so much of himself to his work and the continued growth of the business, Tom will refer you to his most recent, challenging and rewarding case.

"A severely brain-damaged 30-year-old man that was never going to work again, hopeless and suicidal, unable to use his right hand or right leg and denied justice from the beginning by the insurance company sought representation from TonaLaw. By the end of lengthy, exhaustively embattled legal proceedings, the client could move on with his life a vindicated person with dignity and pride, as well as the financial resources to live a full life, made whole."

Although this case in particular stands out to Mr. Tona, he feels it also serves as a good example of the type of work typically handled on a day-to-day basis by TonaLaw.

“The key to successfully representing people in their most dire circumstances, especially as the firm grows and takes on more clients, has been to maintain a keen focus on client needs, accessibility and firm culture. We make ourselves available through a number of mediums, including calls, text, email, mobile intake, as well as a ride to us (we drive to you or car service). We’ve digitized our processes so as to maximize convenience and efficiency for our clients. We also have a team of highly trained experienced and well-dispositioned staff ready to work hand-in-hand with our clients to ensure their focus is on their treatment, while we focus on their case."

TonaLaw moved from its previous location in Saint James to a larger, more modern office in Islip this past November to maximize clients' experience and comfort. With the addition of a specialized information technology office and offerings, the office allows for increased processing capacity and significantly improved digital communications, as well as the highest level of quality lawyering available. The Islip office provides TonaLaw with the necessary components for sustained growth over the next few decades, ensuring that no matter how many cases the firm takes on, every client will be treated with the care and attention necessary to help them become whole again.
