Associate Attorney

Drew is a civil trial lawyer and Partner at Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire, LLP (TBM). He starts each case the same, by getting to know the client. Doing so allows him not only to better understand the dispute at hand, but more importantly, the client’s litigation objectives. A deep appreciation for what the client wants, and why, is the critical first step to delivering it. From there, Drew lays out an effective plan of action to achieve his client’s legal needs. Whether it be real property issues or harrowing multiparty business disputes that require a deft and knowledgeable attorney.
He has experience across a wide legal spectrum. His practice areas include business litigation and real property matters. Since joining TBM, Drew has added medical malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death actions to his practice area. With over a decade of wide-ranging experience, he is well-positioned to anticipate the controlling issue, the opposition, and prepare his strategy accordingly to meet the client’s litigation goals.
After completing his undergraduate studies in 2009 at Pennsylvania State University, graduating with a BA in English, he enrolled at the Duquesne University Thomas R. Kline School of Law in Pittsburgh and received his Juris Doctor in 2012. Drew was licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania in 2012 upon graduating from law school and was brought on as an associate at the firm where he clerked throughout his 3L year.
One trip to Big Sur, many late nights studying for the CA bar after work, and two years later, Drew was licensed to practice law in California. Growing up in rural Western Pennsylvania, Drew forged a lifelong connection with the natural world. Upon moving to San Diego in 2015, he found that connection once more, this time in the rawness of the Pacific Ocean. When Drew is not surfing or scouting for waves in Baja, he enjoys summiting California’s peaks and the occasional lazy weekend with a few cups of coffee.
