James F. Mundy joined Raynes McCarty in 1972, after two years in the firm of renowned trial lawyer B. Nathaniel Richter. Since then, he has helped clients in need win several of the largest catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in the region’s history. A goal for him in every case is to ensure that the same accident does not happen again, through changed procedures, safer product design, or staff re-training. His skill as a trial attorney has earned him selection as a Diplomate of the American Board of Trial Lawyers and as a Fellow for both the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and the American College of Trial Lawyers. He has received the highest rating for legal ability and ethics in Martindale-Hubbell. The Pennsylvania Report has identified him as one of the 50 most influential people in state public affairs.

Mr. Mundy’s contributions to the legal profession have not been limited to the courtroom. He has been president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association. Under then-Governor Robert Casey, Mr. Mundy was asked to serve as chair of the Appellate Court Nominating Commission and as a member of the Philadelphia Trial Court Nominating Commission. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania selected Mr. Mundy to serve on the Lawyers Disciplinary Board, the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Board, and the Interest on Lawyer’s Trust Accounts (IOLTA) Board. He has both written and lectured extensively on litigation issues.

Mr. Mundy has worked tirelessly on the legislative front, advocating for the rights of the injured. He is credited with the passage of two important pieces of legislation, the repeal of the no-fault insurance act and a minor’s tolling statue which preserves a child’s right to redress for personal injuries. His outstanding service earned him the prestigious Justice Michael A. Musmanno Memorial Award from the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
