Gregory concentrates the majority of his practice defending matters regarding architects and engineers, construction defect litigation, and construction accidents. As well, he maintains a smaller portion of his practice in the defense of product liability claims. He splits his time between our King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and Cherry Hill, New Jersey, offices.

Formerly a litigation specialist for a large casualty insurer in Pennsylvania and Delaware, Gregory was responsible for and developed experience in the evaluation, negotiation, and defense strategy for catastrophic personal injury and property damage claims. He also served as an instructor for in-house claims professional seminars on topics of Case Evaluation & Negotiation and Insurance Coverage.

Prior to joining Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin in 2004, Gregory was with Kelly, McLaughlin, Foster, Bracaglia, Daly, Trabucco & White, LLP where his practice involved defending personal injury and property damage matters, focusing on architect and engineer professional liability and construction claims, products, general, premises liability claims, and insurance coverage matters.

In 1982, Gregory graduated from Villanova University with a Bachelor of Science degree. While working as an insurance claims professional, he earned his J.D. from Widener University in 1992, and is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Significant Representative Matters

  • Mediated a favorable settlement for an engineering firm in litigation that involved construction defect and delay claims in multiple projects for a chain store owner. Owner's demand against the contractor and three design professionals was $10, million. After two days of mediation, the case settled for an amount well in excess of $2 million, but our client contributed only $170,000.

  • Mediated a favorable settlement for an architect in a design error/construction delay/abandonment claim wherein a $1.3 million claim was resolved for $400,000 without litigation and without discovery expenses being incurred.

  • Obtained a voluntary dismissal of an engineer in a catastrophic personal injury (quadriplegia) construction accident litigation in Philadelphia which has an exposure in excess of $15 million.

  • Obtained dismissal of a township engineer in a double fatality construction accident litigation wherein two workers died while installing new sewer lines in a residential development.
