Meet Thomas J. DeMarco, Attorney At Law

Thomas DeMarco was born in New York City into a poor Italian-American family. He attended school in New York and held a variety of jobs. Eventually, he left New York and went to law school in Arkansas. That was quite a change! He applied himself and worked hard. In June 1980, he passed the bar examination as the highest scorer for the entire state of Arkansas.

After law school, Thomas obtained employment in New Jersey. In 1983, he moved to South Jersey and immediately fell in love with the area (Philly fanatics be warned: you can take the Knicks fan out of New York, but you can’t take the New York out of the Knicks fan). Thomas worked a tad under 9 years for the Public Defender Office, and in 1992, he opened his criminal defense practice in South Jersey.

He has successfully represented defendants in thousands of municipal and criminal matters and cross-examined hundreds of witnesses in all manner of criminal trials, including:

• Kidnappings
• Robberies
• Multiple Murders
• Carjackings
• Drug Possession and Distribution
• Resisting Arrest

He has even been published by the Camden County Bar Association. Lawyers read Bar Association articles for guidance on what to do with a particularly tricky drug case.

Outside of the law office, the DeMarcos are active in their local church, homeless shelters, local animal shelters, and helping raise their two granddaughters.
