Matthew L. Tuccillo joined Izard Nobel in 2009 and handles a broad array of class action litigation, including consumer protection, securities, and ERISA cases. He has extensive experience in all facets of complex litigation and has represented individuals, organizations, and corporate clients nationally in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts, as well as arbitrations and mediations.

Prior to joining Izard Nobel, Mr. Tuccillo spent the first decade of his career working in Boston, Massachusetts. At Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP from 2002-2009, he handled complex sale of business disputes and class actions involving securities, consumer protection, and overtime wage claims, several of which resulted in multi-million dollar settlements. He also served on the court-appointed Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in a federal Multidistrict litigation that consolidated 23 state-law-based consumer actions separately filed nationwide.

At Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP from 2001-2002, he represented a national health care consumer coalition and its members in pharmaceutical pricing class actions, and he pursued individual actions for prescription drug-related personal injuries. At Brown Rudnick Freed & Gesmer, P.C. (n/k/a Brown Rudnick Berlack Israels LLP) from 1999-2001, he litigated zoning, telecommunications, business, and bankruptcy matters; second-chaired a labor trial; and represented the City of Boston in litigation against the gun industry and a health care advocacy group as amicus curiae in a high profile HMO receivership.

Mr. Tuccillo’s pro bono work has included successfully overturning a denial of Social Security disability benefits for a homeless U.S. Army veteran suffering from severe physical and psychological impairments unrelated to his service. He is a member of the Massachusetts state and federal bars, is currently applying for admission in Connecticut, and has been admitted pro hac vice before numerous state and federal courts nationwide.

Mr. Tuccillo earned his J.D in 1999 from the Georgetown University Law Center, where he made the Dean’s List and was active in Georgetown’s moot court program, on law review, and in its prestigious clinical program. While there, he served as a judicial intern to the Hon. Stephen Eilperin of the D.C. Superior Court. He earned his B.A. and an interdisciplinary International Relations Certificate from Wesleyan University in 1995, after completing the Middlebury College summer language program and spending a semester studying in Florence, Italy with Syracuse University.
