About Thomas Bellwoar

In 1992 Tom was hired as a prosecutor for the Chester County District Attorney’s Office where he tried a wide variety of misdemeanor and felony cases including murder, rape, assault, robbery, theft, drug delivery, and possession. In 1993, he was assigned to a relatively simple case involving a dispute between neighbors. The attorney representing the defendants was a young sole practitioner named Stan Luongo. The two lawyers struck up a long-lasting friendship and eventually founded their firm, LUONGO BELLWOAR LLP.

Tom left the DA’s Office in 1997 and began a legal practice that initially focused on representing people charged with criminal wrongdoing. His former position as an Assistant District Attorney provided him with valuable insight into the inner workings of the court and criminal justice system, insight he employs every day when handling cases. Tom represents people who have been arrested, cited, questioned, investigated or charged in connection with a crime in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Berks, Lancaster, and Philadelphia Counties as well as in Federal Court in Philadelphia. He is a member of the Chester County Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Since 1998, he has been a select member of the Federal Criminal Justice Act Panel of attorneys handling serious cases in Federal District Court in Philadelphia.
